I love it when our corporate attorney has me perform some tasks for him and 2/3's of the way through he mentions he'll probably have to have me sign an affidavit. What? No thanks.
At my old job, I was the one who performed all the legal discovery. Go fucking figure that out.
I love when non-technical people are running a meeting and they can't figure out the screen sharing feature.
It's a standing policy here to keep an eye on the exchange calendar for all the conference rooms and check in on them when their conferences start just to hand hold the children through connecting the video conferences and sharing their screens and such.

ShadowProtect is pretty alright, though its ability to be managed across many clients even with Kaseya is inadequate. If I had one network to manage it would be a breeze.

I work at a law firm.
We tell our attorneys to NEVER have the clients self-collect. Have a third-party vendor do the collection, so they can be held accountable. It's why they are charging you so much.
Story time:
We have a client who is cheap. They do searches on their inbox for anything, To X, From X, etc. etc. Then the client does a manual culling (reading each e-mail and making a determination of it is relevant). The client hands over a few hundred e-mails to the attorney, who hands them over to me. I do my thing (intentionally left vague for reasons) and realize we are missing large portions of e-mail chains. Usually not a large deal, but I have to mention it.
We have also received Plaintiff's first production of document, which include processed e-mails. I do a quick comparison and we do not have any of these e-mails. I include this in my summary to the attorney and send it off. She contacts me the next day and asks my opinion, because she is new to "all this stuff". She tells me she has a funny feeling about the client, and with my findings, she thinks he's lying. I tell her the only way to be sure, is to tell the (insurance) carrier her concerns and ask for authorization of a formal collection of everything.
Long story short: he lied about everything, deleted e-mails and files, moved files to hidden folders and was a all around scumbag. Good thing he preemptively signed his affidavit. He's not in business anymore.

I hate that. It shouldn't become our responsibility to check in on meetings. It should be the responsibility of the organizer to get us prior to the meeting to ensure that everything is ready for them to use. We have plenty of more important things to do than to hover over other people's agendas. Need help? Then ask, because I'm not a mind reader and am far too busy to keep up with your affairs.
And don't get upset when I show irritation if you tell me 2 minutes before the meeting that you need equipment setup for you, because you had plenty of time to let me know.
While I agree that being insensitive is an issue, so is being oversensitive.

We had our own in house lawyers, and it was still the IT department that did the discovery.
And our discovery process was to search for anything To or From the parties involved, and dump the entire contents of the relevant departmental network drives, and send it. I'm sure there was some interesting shit that went out in some of those discovery searches. And probably some sensative company info since none of it was culled in any way, which kinda blew my mind.

Well, this particular meeting was one that I was in, and I got there after one of the engineers had already logged in to start the meeting. He's generally one of the more technically savvy people here, so of course he thought he knew what he was doing. He needed to hand off presenter privileges to someone at a remote site, and he kept trying to share the local screen and then pass control of the local PC... I had to tell him three times that he was doing it wrong.

I know they do it, does not mean it's the best way to do it.
Did you only collect e-mails? Did they care about the other areas, like DMS, local storage, mobile, fileshare site, etc.? I've noticed that a lot of people only go with e-mail when doing discovery, then have to do another collection, because the first was incomplete.
Nevermind. Too far away from the purpose of the thread.
Hey do any of you know if there is a way to create a junction in windows to change the location of a directory while there are live writes to the current directory.
IE I have files being written to C:\Logs and I want to make it a junction that actually saves stuff to \Logs but I have programs with files open and currently writing to C:\Logs. I'd like my files to be moved to \Logs and a junction created that maps C:\Logs to \Logs without any downtime of apps already writing to logs.

there is so much irony because Win10 is 100x better on desktop machines and about 50x worse on 8-10" tablet devices. I have it loaded on My Venue 8 Pro for testing and it is currently a hot mess.
But yea, if Win 10 was stable enough to actually use for work I'd put it on my work machine in a heartbeat.

I think the problem you could run into is that if something is currently writing to C:\Logs at the same point that you create the junction, the function on either could fail. If you could stop the writing for like 10 seconds, I think you'd be fine.

Using it right now, so far so good.
I have a feeling I'm going to need to go back to windows 7 within a few weeks though.
I really do like "metro as a start menu" concept. Windows 8 would have been the golden child if it had done this.
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me
I've seen some demos of the start menu and what I really like is how the size is customizable. Raise it, lower it, expand it, change it to your liking (within reason).
While I agree that being insensitive is an issue, so is being oversensitive.
Then just switch to "METRO MODE" for tablets, done and done.
for the most part that's ok, but there are a couple of things that Win10 doesn't do as well. The app switcher is not nearly as good in 10 compared to 8.x on touch devices. On 8.x swiping from left to get a list of apps that you can then hit with the same thumb was a great touch UI, on 10 it puts all of the apps/windows in the center, which means taking hand off of side to hit middle of screen. Doesn't sound like a big deal until the 100th time you have to do it. Just little things like that.
I'm interested to get 100061 on My Venue 8 Pro tonight to see some of the tablet mode changes, allegedly bigger touch targets on some of the UI elements in the taskbar, which was my other big complaint with it on the small screens. Also 10049 was pretty bloody unstable on my Venue 8 pro, but that's just one of those one off things for that particular build.

I still catch myself forgetting that people use Windows on devices without hardware KBAM.

Hm. A user's desktop, about once or twice a week, will suddenly stop displaying video to any of her monitors until she reboots the PC. Any ideas? 4 screens connected via DVI or DVI->HDMI on a single GPU.

We _must_ give the contractor the non-guest wifi password because he keeps on getting kicked off the server.
Perhaps it's because the other contractors are getting into the server and bumping him off?
Can we get another license for the server so he won't get bumped off?
Sure, it's their managed server so when they want to pony up the dough for that, go right ahead.
At my old job, I was the one who performed all the legal discovery. Go fucking figure that out.

OH&S regulations state that you must lay the bubblewrap on a concrete floor surface and use a ball pein hammer to pop it.
This is what Windows 8 should have been.
