What Are You Doing Right Now

@siringo , well that sucks.
There are ways to take over a client and there are ways to suck at taking over a client.
It sounds like the new mob have an air of arrogance about them. Yuck.Hope you can sort things out and pick up a better client.
-
Also @siringo, why can't they remove the A/V themselves when their contract starts?
IMO, It's your ass on the line before their start date and they are just trying to make things easier for themselves at the expense of your soon-to-be former client. -

no consultation, no nothing.
they have a track record of this type of behaviour
the worst thing about it all

Started an on-premise to Microsoft 365 migration this morning. Only 1 file share to deal with getting into Sharepoint this time.
Sadly, they'll still have on-premise Quickbooks
Ug - I just learned I'm going to have to support Quickbooks again here soon.
All I hear in the back of my head is a line from one of the last songs from the Lorax movie.
"Let it die, let it die, let it shrivel up and die,...."

no doubt!
apparently we own another tiny company for a single service that we supply/share with other locations around town... so the owners made a separate company just for that. And it's all run on QB. The previous accountant is retiring and the new person is someone I'll have to support.

Luckily it's really tiny and shouldn't amount to much - i just hope they have their backup solution in place.

I'm currently researching and making notes, for soon there will be a post about how RojoLoco IS ABOUT TO HAVE TO LINUX!!!! Well, just 1 Linux. Probably RHEL since that is now free for up to 16 servers.
Not sure how long it will take me to formulate a bunch of dumbass questions, but hopefully not long.

Heh - Can't be worse then some of my dumb questions

IMO, It's your ass on the line before their start date and they are just trying to make things easier for themselves at the expense of your soon-to-be former client.That's exactly how I see it. I'm not going to help them at all.
They seem to be a bunch of cowboys. To be honest I can't see the boss being happy with them at all, they're too informal & just don't understand.
The client was a specialist medical practise. These people tell their clients they're going to die. I can't see how people like that will be able to tolerate IT people that are proud to call themselves 'nerds' & 'geeks' and have pictures on their web site of themselves, posing with stuffed toys & giggling.
They're more like gamers than IT professionals.

The only dumbass questions are the unasked ones... However, you should probably be prepared for equally dumbass answers 8-D

Dealing with some automation that was working and now - for some strange reason - isn't. Wondering if it isn't some jak-GPO issue.

@RojoLoco here's one of those dumba$$ questions...
What's the point in SSO if you have to enter a password for EVERY MS Product???
that's
Sign into PC, Passworded for Outlook; Passworded for Teams; Passworded for OneDrive...FFS!

Especially when its' the same )@(#&$)@&#$ password for everything!
Admittedly, if you log in to your PC with a Microsoft account, some of that is eliminated.
