IT staff are kind of expected to be able to sort out their own problems, though.

Eggs-ackly
"The server writes the file to the W: drive and then the client looks for it on the W: drive, so let's check that the W: drive is mapped."
38 clicks later "Yes, look"
"No, that's the X: drive. Your W: drive is mapped somewhere else"
Skip a couple of sentences of them not understanding how windows works
"Oh, I didn't realise it had to be W:"

Happily, our server does it automatically, and if it plays up, to manually remap it is rather easy
