    Yeah I've already done that. I've already pitched them the idea of a white list that'd be maintained by them because we're a healthcare clinic so there isn't really much use for the internet other than drug information which wikipedia and various health sites are perfect for.

    Other than that they should be, you know, doing their job.

    Of course I'm on a different vlan than the rest of them so I wouldn't be affected but then again I'm not going to youtube and download porn (yes this was a thing) or playing fantasy football.

    Are they desktop computers?

    Redirect their My Documents and Desktop to the server. You can do this with a roaming profile, or you can do this with the User Shell Folders registry key. (I prefer the regkey. It's a little harder to manage, but performance is a lot better.)

    Yes, that means you're going to be wasting storage on people's iTunes Music folders and crap like that, but storage is cheap. Just add iTunes and iPhone related strings to the exception list in the backup.

    If they're laptops... that's a little harder. One free and easy solution that I've made work well is to remove the "My Documents" icon from the desktop and replace it with a shortcut that says "Laptop Documents." Then I'll also add a shortcut right next to it that says "Server Documents." Then when I give the user the laptop I impress upon them that the laptop documents are on the laptop and the server documents are on the server.

    The vast majority of users get the message.

    There are technical ways of solving the problem too but I've never found one I've really loved. I prefer just strong user education and constant reinforcement.

    I think I may actually try this. Thankfully we don't allow itunes here so no need to worry about that.

    Background:
    We have an automatic fax system that takes faxed documents and turns them into a PDF and imports them into our paperless system. (This actually saves enough money in paper/toner/equipment to pay for my salary, no joke) This system isn't amazing and able to do everything, but it works and has worked for half a decade pretty decently. However once in a great blue moon we get faxes that just can't be answered because hey, that's the nature of faxes. Sometimes calls get interrupted, sometimes the other end doesn't implement the protocol properly, whatever.

    Today:
    "So yeah we're getting faxes that are blank or have black lines and are just hanging out in limbo."
    "Yeah, so?"
    "Well we need them."
    "There's nothing I can do about them, I can't magically make our fax machine call them back and go "hey you guys sent us something and we need it, resend it please.""
    "Well you should, that's why it's automated so I Don't have to watch it."
    "Well I can't, nothing has changed in the half a year you've been working here."

    It's gotten to the point now where I'm getting very cynical about stupid shit. Every year or so we end up getting these secretaries that after half a year of working here just turn into these amazing douchenozzles and won't do anything and basically rely on me.

    "Well I don't know what to do anymore then."
    "Do what you've been doing for the past half a year, I can't fix other people's issues, bye."

    $10 says I'll get chewed out for that, but the boss absolutely loves me. This place runs almost like a well oiled machine so a secretary getting butt hurt over 3-4 faxes a week not getting transferred correctly is low shit to him. Thank god.

    I think Feral hit the nail on the head. Folder Redirection and desktop shortcuts leave much less room for silliness on the user's part.

    Although I had a call earlier today where a guy's "documents all disappeared after that power outage!"

    He'd managed to delete his desktop shortcut ._.

    Fax machine stuff is always funny.

    "We can't get our faxes on our network printer/fax converter emailer thing."

    Well I just checked the interface and you guys are getting data through just fine. Put in a ticket with PC support, but chances are you'll have to get management to call Xerox.

    "But... but out faxes."

    Not a problem I can fix. Sorry.

    I love those.

    "Yeah we're not getting faxes."

    I pick up the phone and dial the number for our fax line with speakerphone. I wait, suddenly the room fills with the noise of the faxmachine picking up. "Looks like it's working fine to me, maybe, you know, the people bitching are bitching about a busy signal because we get faxes all day long?"

    "Yeah but they're tired of waiting."

    "Well tell them to get a better fax machine."

    I tried that over here for a couple of months and then was told by upper management to switch it back to non-paperless due to the that specific issue. People got all upset that their faxes wouldn't appear when it usually was the person who sent it who had the issue. Plus they would receive the fax in PDF and then turnaround and print it out so that they could use it while billing.

    The good news is that we're looking into a huge automation upgrade that would cut out why we get so many faxes.

    Thankfully, faxing is one of the least headache inducing aspects of my job. We basically have 2 fax machines, one up front, and one back near me in the parts department. The front one during business hours transfers the incoming faxes as PDFs to one of the secretaries computers. The parts one can't receive faxes. We have no idea why. It has something to do with the phone line. They spent about 2 months fighting it having the phone company checking it out, testing faxing between the two etc. Nobody could figure out why. So the phone company just transferred incoming stuff on that number to the other machine. And the best part is I hardly had to deal with any of it :)

    Though I did a call a couple weeks ago after I put in a little MFP behind someone's desk and a couple days later I got a call from the lady next to him.
    "Why doesn't faxing from this printer work?"
    "It's not set up for it?"
    "Oh. Can you do that?"
    "Nope"
    "Why not?"
    "Cause there's no phone connection over there. And you have a perfectly fax machine just around the corner."

    eFax all the way... unless we actually need faxes to be automatically processed by a document management server, in which case, Zetafax all the way.

    Maybe hook up a fax line to the copy machine if somebody really needs to fax handwritten bullshit more than once a year.

    If some halfwit really needs to send hand-written faxes around here, they have three options; go figure out the ancient fax hooked into the only non-VoIP line in the basement (the light switch is at the bottom of the stairs), scan it in on one of the many scanners lying around and e-fax it (or just frikken e-mail it; "wait, I can do that?") or they can ask their manager how much departmental budget they can spare towards getting the integrated fax option installed on the copiers next time Xerox send their sales guy 'round.

    And unless the fax machine actually breaks (like, pops a rubber band or something) it's not getting replaced. Or moved out of the basement.

    I've never gotten some people's obsession with faxes. There is the occasional off chance that a company run by one of these cretins only allows forms to be sent in via fax if you can't submit them in person but other than that masonite bullshit I really don't get it.

    Fucking email. My parents have figured out email. They grew up in farm country in communist post-war Poland, which is practically indistinguishable from the western world circa 1800. If they can cross a 100+ year technological gap, you can cross a 20 year old one.

    Why bother with Zetafax if you're paying for eFax? You can write a processor application to pull data from a email or web service just as easily as from a directory where Zetafax prints a tiff image.

    I worked in IT for 8 years but quit the industry last summer to go back to school. I swore I would never do anything related to IT ever again; even to the point of threatening my wife that she'd have to cut off my hands before I ever worked with technology for a living again.

    And yet, here I am, reading this thread. It's not like schadenfreude; I honestly feel sorry for everyone in here that has to deal with retarded users.

    Ugh.

    Anyway, my favorite line was, "Here, let me Google that for you," especially for things that were completely out of my jurisdiction/department.

    "Hey, what's the phone number for x company?"

    "I don't know, I'm not the operator."

    "Well, do you think you could maybe find out?"

    "Sure, let me Google that for you."

    "Thanks!"

    I was never busted for it either; every user thought I was just being helpful.

    My animosity comes from having never worked in a company where the users actually tried to understand the limitations the IT department had to work under.

    Like, I get that not every user is going to know how to do everything. That's why we're here.

    However, I got frustrated when I'd get pulled in to a user shit storm over something that I/my department had no control over because of the company's management. When it's a large company you can just say, "Look, I understand your frustration, but we can't do anything about this because we don't make that decision," and the user will generally be all right with it.

    My experience has always been with small companies, where the user knows that we can't do anything about it and still throws a shit fit about whatever the problem is.

    My other source of animosity for users is when they tried to get me to do their work for them. No, it's not a big deal for me to look up a phone number, but when I'm required to do it because we're so focused on customer service, the user knows they can get away with it every time. That directly leads to me and my team having to do other peoples' work because of that precedent.

    Also, I hate users because I'm an asshole. So there's that.

    Welp, I have had one of those days that make me think twice about getting a career in IT.

    I work in local goverment IT for a small town in Colorado for the city IT department. The county IT came in about 3 weeks ago and set up the voting stuff for the election today. I gave them a block of 11 IP addresses to bypass our network and go right to the Internet for them to check people off coming in to vote.

    Cue to today. There is a line an hour long out the door. All the counties laptops are locking up and timing out. I'm getting yelled at by the head of IT for the county that the computers are locking up. There is a county IT guy there thatnhas been sitting around the entire day and doesn't know at all what the problem is or what he is doing. I finally got on the router console and switched the port over to a outside comcast network we have for testing and downloading large files.

    Now I had confirmed with myselve that the comcast connection was up and running. I told the county IT guy to switch the 5 laptops they had to DHCP off static. As I watch him do this I see that each computer has the same static IP address from the 11 I gave them original. All the computers were running the same IP address....................

    So the computers come back up, and they cheer the county guy for fixing all their problems :x

    This is after the election judge came up to me and said "I hope you know that the democrat and republican people here are judge this towns problems today because of you."

    I'm going home to drink my brain into oblivion.
