E2K not going.  Still waiting for new server...& AD   The last two weeks I've been dealing with a production database array that is going south quickly, that kept bringing down the database.....that makes users very unhappy.  Unfortunately, I've the misfortune of having DataGeneral now EMC database & application servers connected to this DG array.  They weren't real cooperative with getting it fixed, in fact it was down for almost 10 days before they finally got it back up.  Three drives out of 40 that were possibly going bad.....they don't know for sure, spent more than a couple of long nights with the wonderful engineers......   Last weekend, I took my file & print servers from Windows NT4.0 to Windows 2K advanced server with a new drive array, now my Backup Exec tells me that it's not licensed to backup Advanced Server, bought the upgrade for BE 8.6 Advanced Server, it still tells me the same thing about not being licensed to backup Advanced Server.   Sigh.....I think I need to take a vacation....thanks for letting me vent a little.....    -----Original Message----- From: Garland Mac Neill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 01, 2002 1:57 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: A Few Good Admins Lol..   Hows that E2k migration going Sherry?   -----Original Message----- From: Abercrombie, Sherry [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 01, 2002 12:57 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: A Few Good Admins   This is great.....I just want to know, did you write this Chris or find it somewhere.  After the last two weeks I've had, I really REALLY needed this!!

LOCAL ADMINISTRATOR: You want answers? USER: I think I'm entitled to them. LOCAL ADMINISTRATOR: You want answers? USER: I want the truth! LOCAL ADMINISTRATOR: You can't handle the truth! We live in a world that has Computers, and those Computers have to be connected by people with a clue. Who's gonna do it? You? You users make me sick. I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for your email and you curse the local administrator. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that this network, while screwed up, and confusing to you, probably saved time. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves time. You don't want the truth, because deep down, in places you don't talk about at parties, you want us in this office. You need us in this office. We use words like DNS, LDAP, and SCRIPTS...we use these words as the backbone to a life spent playing with computers. You use 'em as a reason to whine. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a person who surfs and emails under the blanket of the very network I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it! I'd rather you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pickup a mouse and design your own network. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you're entitled to! USER: Did you shutdown my email? LOCAL ADMINISTRATOR: You don't want to know. USER: Did you shutdown my file server? LOCAL ADMINISTRATOR: You don't want to know. USER: Did you shutdown my internet access? LOCAL ADMINISTRATOR: You're damn right I did!!!
