IT meteorologists?

I?m not smart enough to fix it myself.

That?s why I rely on other people to do their jobs.

Sorry if me bashing on your chosen profession a little has offended you.

[Delfuego]

Takes more than that to offend me. I replace under-skilled IT guys regularly. But if your company only pays low wages to IT employees, they will only attract low end talent...

[ray1970]

I have no first hand knowledge about the IT people but generally speaking my company pays all of its employees rather well. I?m guessing they likely make more than I do.

Perhaps it?s my general lack of knowledge of anything IT related that gives me cause to believe that some of them generally don?t know what they?re doing. Maybe they?re all stud ducks and it?s just a lot more complicated than I think it is.

You'd be surprised how little most IT folks make. Most organizations see IT as an expense.

[ray1970]

But IT people know computers and stuff. That?s Silicon Valley type money.

[Gman]

Silicon Valley type money isn't really "IT".

Ray,

I had the same issue at work when they made some big IT changes (that never do anything positive, only gum up the works). Not necessarily the same message, but this site was blockd due to some of their general keyword filtering.
After about 2-3 weeks of not being able to access the site from my work computer directly, or through bookmarks, one day I clicked on a thread link that was in one of my notification emails from the site. VIOLA!! It accessed the site without issues and allowed me to navigate around the site. After 2-3 weeks of accessing the site that way, I found that it must have become "recognized/accepted" and now I can access it via bookmark, typing in the url, etc.

If you get email notifications from the site, try that. May not work, but it worked for me.

Thanks everyone.

I?ll try the print screen thing.

Our stuff is on serious lockdown so installing anything outside of a small group of approved programs is a no-go. They even revoked my administrative privileges on my machine so even updating existing software typically requires contacting IT and explaining why I need to do it.

Portable Apps.

Check it out.

I have always used the native Android email app and I like it. They found a fix and I'm back on the native app finally. It was a pita for a bit because I spend most of my time out of the office and rely on my mobile device.

We're eventually migrating away from Outlook active sync to 365, but this was just a partial step. They added AirWatch to our devices. Something between the addition of AirWatch and the migration to a new, but temporary, Exchange server wasn't working with the native email app.

AirWatch has got to be one of the most intrusive apps I've ever seen. I'm going to have to get a 2nd phone...

Airwatch. I just threw up in mouth a little.

Lots of conjecture in this thread . Also don't appreciate smack talk about IT guys (I am one). The old rule still stands, if you don't like it, fix it yourself.

That being said, my guess is TLS mismatch.

No direct offense intended, but I'm an enterprise IT (primarily IBM Power systems and storage) dork and most desktop support dorks are useless dinks.

LOL
