From memory you can get devices enrolled into DEP back as far as March 2011, but they need to have been purchased from an authorised Apple reseller that keeps track of the serials of purchased devices, knows DEP exists, and can be bothered to help you. We've had more luck with our Apple reseller than with our Apple Business account as far as DEP goes - Apple have given us 3 different account numbers, all of which have been rejected for DEP status. Everything from our reseller worked first time.

The school was dutifully informed six weeks after they had a truck show up and unload 750 iPad Minis, which they had no place to store. So, they went into a teachers' classroom, stacked neatly against the wall with floor to ceiling windows. Not in boxes, just iPad retail boxes stacked up. I've never been convinced that a few didn't disappear, but I'm jaded and cynical.

A ticket came in: Can you reset my password please. Problem is user is on nights, helpdesk are open 9-5 or whatever. Helpdesk don't email passwords to my users so we reach an impasse. Helpdesk refer me to InfoSec guy to agree policy change and InfoSec misunderstood the situation Meanwhile Helpdesk offer to call night user which was good but this will happen again so we do need to look at the process in my opinion. I clarify with InfoSec guy and explain why we need to resolve this - he agreed that it wasn't a good thing that Helpdesk have to call my user out of hours, so can't my user call helpdesk during daytime hours? Or, I assume he was calling my bluff at this point because he suggested I should put forward a proposal for a change to the InfoSec policy that will be heard by the regional CIO. As it happens, I do a lot of InfoSec stuff and know the regional CIO well enough to have no qualms about putting forward a workable and appropriate change, so I let him know what my suggestion would look like and curiously I haven't had a reply despite all the other replies coming back in minutes. What a wonder.

A DF mod where everything becomes IT related would be amazing and also terrifying:
Have to buy all of your printer ink prior to reaching the -20th Z level from traveling caravans, and also ink is predictably the most expensive resource in the game yet without it your As nobles move in, they start to demand personal printers, Macbook Pros, iPhones, and huge displays. Also you have to support all this poo poo. Most nobles still have no actual in-game purpose other than to consume material and make demands. Once a year you get attacked by goblins, nothing changes in this respect. Starting in savage wildlands means users trying to break down your fortress door to pester your IT workers instead of emailing helpdesk from day one. Tickets grow in fields underground but half of your workers will just ignore them or go do something else and make that one dilligent worker farm them all because reasons. Workers disappearing off the corner of the map to play WoW, shitpost on Reddit, or nap under furniture during business hours. People masturbating on video conference calls. Ever-decreasing budgets coupled with ever-increasing demands. People get possessed by strange moods and wind up building business critical databases on Access. New migrants arriving every year to replace the people who went insane and had to be put down after gnawing their own limbs off during the previous Winter. Cross-training your IT-dwarves to be janitors, building maintenance, and plumbers because no one else can do it and no one is paying for someone to come in and do it properly. The list could go on for pages. The potential is there for real. Sheep fucked around with this message at 16:50 on Aug 15, 2016 |

I'm like "who the gently caress are you and what the gently caress are you talking about?" thinking it's some black hat trying to gain access to our server room and police department files. Turns our the PD got a huge grant for new license plate readers and we were supposed to work with some company to get a server all set up on a private network and get all these license plate readers installed and working like 6 months ago. PD bought all the poo poo and has just been sitting on it. BUT NOW IT'S URGENT AND EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE COMPLETED TODAY.

Annual goblin attacks at the office would spice things up a bit, but it'd be offset by mandatory siege training, and no one wants to sit through that. You think you're going to get some time behind a catapult, but in reality it's just a 3 hour powerpoint about catapult safety and operating procedures.

Sheep posted:They try to change the fuser themselves and wind up getting carcinogens everywhere. Guessing the 2 bolded parts have something to do with each other...hmm... In all seriousness though, I've given up on being tactful with recklessly ignorant people. So my first go-to is usually "please stop disconnecting and moving hardware, you'll make things worse" and from there it escalates to notifying their manager about them being a repeat offender. One of the things I absolutely hate that's sorta related is people that don't take care of their computers and keep putting in requests for something new. In the 3+ years I've been at my job I've had 2 computers - started with an old Optiplex tower and upgraded to a Latitude laptop after the tower's warranty expired. Never had any issues with either one but there are several people in sales or account management who have literally been through at least 3 computers in the last 18 months. Most of these computers were either less than a year old with fresh Windows installs, or brand new machines with fresh installs, and each had plenty of resources (i5/i7, minimum 8GB RAM, and either a 500GB hybrid drive or 256GB SSD). It's always pissing and moaning about slowness too, then you check their machine and it's riddled with stupid garbage like Spotify and Pandora, or toolbars hijacking the browsers, or it's full because they decided to link their stupid loving 47GB Dropbox account with all their personal dog/family/baby/flailing retard pictures and videos. These same people go through smartphones like loving Kleenex too and either have to have the latest and greatest because of their own bullshit vanity/ego problems, or because they're clumsy morons who keep breaking poo poo despite us telling them repeatedly to buy an Otterbox or something similar. Is my hatred and loathing for sales and account management showing yet? BOOTY-ADE fucked around with this message at 20:55 on Aug 15, 2016 |

I don't mean to be a pest; I just want to send you some delicious, better for you snacks. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten any response - which means that either: 1) You already have healthy snacks at [company], and are getting new snacks for your employees to try every month (If that is the case, please let me know so I will stop bothering you.) 2) You are interested, but have not had the time to respond yet. I heard people are pretty busy now a days... 3) You've passed out from starvation! In which case I'll send snacks over right away. Please respond with 1, 2, or 3, so I'll know you're okay.

The fix is to give "domain computers" delegated read rights, or more specific restrictions as your security policy dictates.I bet it's this. Do you have a source for this? It would explain why suddenly my printer deployment group policy, among other things no longer works.
