Active Directory and SCCM, how I hate (love... no, hate) thee...

I never post here. I read it a lot, when Jen makes an update, or I'll take some pictures for it. I read Kimmy's (and it's also Josh's kinda, I guess) a lot, but just don't post here unless something really strikes me.

Recently, my loathing for AD and SCCM have struck me. They will be referred to as SA from now on (Stupid Apps)

SA: "Look at all the cool stuff I can do! Look at me! I can help you control your entire environment."

Me: :D OH YAY! You're so cool, SA. Let's do something together, like deploy some software to a group of users.

SA: ...

Me: You can do that, right?

SA: Oh, sure, yeah. Just click me there and there. Yeah, you like that?

Me: Uh, ok. Sure. Now we wait for the install!

** The next day **

Me: Why didn't the rollout happen?

SA: Oh, you forgot to click some random radio button deep within a random configuration setting under Site Settings. Don't worry, I wasn't going to warn you or let you know in any way that you needed to click it. You would have lived on in blissful ignorance if you hadn't checked.

Me: Yay.




In other news, however, I will be in Arizona with Jenny and Mat in a week! So nothing can keep me down! (yet... it's close.)

Will you guys be back for Jay's birthday on the 23rd?

I believe the 23rd is the Machida / Evans fight. NOTHING WILL STOP ME FROM WATCHING IT.
