9 times out of 10 the problem is PEBKAC / Layer-8 issue. I was
more intimating about the amount of time spending on discovering
how they've knackered their system, followed by even longer period
of time trying to fix it, with corporate users it's often a case
of they can't or won't tell you how they did it, but they might
learn the second / third time to save further embarrassment. When
managing and maintaining systems at scale, we just rebuild (and we
have an efficient process to do that automatically). When the cost
of hiring an IT engineer varies between anything from £20-£75 an
hour, it's far more cost effective to re-image, rather than spend
days on a problem. Granted, you can't translate all corporate methods to home
environments all the time. Interested to find out what the
computer shop people think though.
