Airwatch. I just threw up in mouth a little.

It's been a while but I seem to recall that after the initial airwatch setup, you could go in and turn off the device admin access to your device.

That said, our O365 email won't run if you disable it. That's also the reason I don't use the android email app to sync contacts or calendar. I'm probably being paranoid that they could wack my google or phone contacts, but I'm assuming anything I sync'd going forward would be subject to wipe if they chose to do so.

Airwatch, like most MDM solutions, will allow you to unregister the device. You also lose any applications and data that were encrypted on the system.

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

Like.

That's why they are doing (or still doing) desktop support. However, many dorks only know how to do what they do and have no idea how anything else in the chain works. Programmers, webguys, network guys, often are clueless what happens after they press enter on their keyboard. I have found high-level people that are as helpless as desktop users when it comes to what they really understand. They know their discipline and not much else. I don't have that luxury in my job. If it's not working I need to fix it, or find someone that can. I don't have the luxury to escalate to level 2/3 when I get stuck. VMware, Cisco, Microsoft, carrier connectivity, etc, etc, the buck stops here...

And I'm desktop support. Definitely useless.

Quoted for absolute truth!

I'm old, did retail for years, dos, all versions of windows etc, moved into server support, hp xompaq ibm, netwok support, older cisco stuff. Had kids and needed more time at home. Its way easier for me to be desktop support now and know the network and server side. Heck, network support is shocked that i know something aboit what needs done. I'm also helping the server group on things some of them don't understand.

Share security? Hidden share?
Add a port to a vlan...

What do these certifications mean? I'm not up on the latest stuff, but the basics we all should know.

I like where I'm at mostly, 8-5 and being desktop, im not working after hours and can blame the others when it doesnt work monday morning.

I said most, and that's been my experience as a useless desktop guy on the receiving end of desktop support OR the next level support for something desktop blames on infrastructure that there's just no way in hell it could be what they claim. I didn't say all.

No doubt.

My current client called off their production cutover earlier in the week because the coding and system support staff couldn't figure out some issues they were having on their test system. I'm primarily infrastructure and systems and storage level stuff mind you but have done switch/route, WAN stuff, security, and too many other things worth listing.

Got down to the wire today on a "dry run" of production cutover after I had them hours ahead of schedule and folks were getting a bit flustered so I asked if the data errors they were getting that were blowing up the screens could possibly be an issue with the data itself. The error is rather generic and not helpful at all to debug. I say, "So have you actually tried looking at the data (table) outside the application? They look, Um, it's "masked data" that's not getting unmasked, as in it's column level encryption on SSN's in those tables that contain them and they don't have the correct keys. Duh. Oh, you restored an older version of the key management middleware and then upgraded it, and then later (keyword later) moved production data over without the keystore ro going back through that software migrate/upgrade? DUH.
