Hello all,
I know it’s a big IT world out there and I was wondering what is your most irritating LAN/network problem? I’m talking about the problem that never seems to go away and/or it morphs into different forms.
For me it’s printers. It’seither corrupt drivers, repeated paper jams, users cannot print, spooler problems, disappearing print server and of course the old “call in a trouble ticket, because the printer can’t print my 20mb PowerPoint slide in a timely manner”. Of course this person didn’t want to walk to the high-speed network printer 20 feet away, and was trying to print on a HP4L connected next to him for a briefing in 5 minutes.
Users are a big problem I know, but I?m looking for stories of the mysterious missingemail, roaming profiles that stops roaming on it?s own, or an Exchange MTA backlog for no apparent reason. And it just gives you fits because you can?t nail down because once you start to troubleshoot deeper ? it clears up.
I?m not looking for techie answers on how to fix these problems, just some validation that I?m not alone in this sometimes-irritating yet laughable hell.
