Sorry, I'm just not a conformist... I have to deal with the likes of ignorance at my client sites. I'm certainly NOT going to accept what they say and leave it at that. I am a solution provider and a rather blunt one. If I don't like what I hear, I voice my opinion and I back it up.
So I'm blunt, big deal. I work to achieve results, positive results. I don't work on half a$$ed implementations nor will I advocate them. If someone wants me working on their network, then they'd better be prepared for some bad news if it is not properly configured. We're in the business of providing solutions not work-arounds. The easiest network to administer is the one that is properly configured. That goes for infrastructure, file servers, email servers, etc... If it's not configured properly, it's not worth it. I get paid an awful lot of money to do what I do. If the network and servers are configured properly, I save the client money because I don't have to waste my time on work-arounds. As far as my response to Alex that started this useless whining and banter, if he'd chosen not to reply so condescendingly, maybe I'd not have called him an a$$. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Scharff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 30, 2001 2:00 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Weird message from System Administrator > I have just joined a company with the worst implementation of > Exchange I have ever seen.

It's not that hard to do. Really.[2] But where's the fun in that? Nothing more fun than to go into a staff meeting with the PHB in attendance and ask "Which one of you chuckleheads is responsible for this piece of $^*)@)?" Or if you'd actually like to change the status quo send out a series of UNODIR memos about policy and configuration changes you make (along with the reasons) just after you've implemented them. Then fight to keep them from being changed back.... heh. >[2] Try it, Don, you might like it. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
