No More Admin
When the District moved buildings they added a server to the server closet. And they added my user name with only nominal user rights. I can’t upgrade software that I use every day. Nope, I have to get someone else in the department sit down at my workstation, log in as the “transportation administrator” and perform menial tasks.
This means that Windows might be updated in the background (let’s hope that it is) but also that software I use every day – Openoffice.org – will never be updated on that workstation. This is especially frustrating when you realize that I am the network administrator for a high volume tax office, I run this web and mail server and administer my home network. When I called to see about upgrading software on the computer – software purchased to run transportation services – I was told that I didn’t have those rights. I used to. Well you don’t now.
Huh. That kind of sucks.
