IT SupportOur IT support guy has been in the job since 1979, and never misses an opportunity to pick up a mouse and say "Hello computer" into it, Star Trek-style. Tell us your tales from the IT support cupboard, either from within or without.

I'm a Windows admin by tradeAnd when I have to do admin-type stuff as part of my job, I typically do it on the command line. It's so much easier and quicker to knock up a script to do something menial and repetitive than it is to use the GUI. Windows NT Shell Scripting is one of the most useful books I've ever read.
Microsoft published the Resource Kit tools for a reason. Sysinternals tools are also available for a reason. Download them and learn how to fucking use them. Hell, learn how to use the built-in command line tools. I have no patience with any Windows admins who don't use the command line. They're the fuckwits that give the rest of us a bad name.
But then, I cut my teeth on MS-DOS 3.2 and DEBUG, so the command line has never held any fears for me.
