The Fool posted:If their domain account is getting locked out when their primary computer is not communicating with the domain in any way, there is another device trying to log in with those credentials and you need to look at your DC logs. If they're sitting at home on their own home network with no VPN connection and the computer is locking them out, it's a local issue. The Mac can't even query the DC to know the account is locked out. I'm not actually that incompetent, I don't think.

Everyone should learn to do this, when things are escalated to me I'll typically run through common issues/steps to make sure they didn't forget something before diving in an assuming it's a more complex issue. I see IT people all the time that forget the basics, instead of checking simple things they will immediately assume it's something complex and immediately jump down a rabbit hole, this happens most often with people that are outside of T1/T2 support.

So the first thing you did when you realised you didn't know where to look was go research the right place to look, right ? Or did you immediately give up because it was something outside your comfort zone ?

Sorry, but when my environment is entirely Windows, and someone decides they want to be a special snowflake I'm not going to spend the time and money on the tools needed to properly manage one workstation. In addition, the type of user that goes out of their way to acquire a mac when everyone else in the office has a windows machine is guaranteed to be a high support burden throughout their entire tenure. They can deal with the limited support as a consequence of their choice.

LethalGeek posted:It's almost like there is a pattern in the world with Macs, their users, and everyone being tired of their junk. We have a bunch of devs who use Macs and they're great, never have problems. It's the squeaky wheel who insist they need a Mac because it's "easier to use" than Windows and they're "used to it" that always end up causing problems because actually they don't know how to use a computer of any type.

a single mac in an all windows shop still seems stupid, but keep arguing that dude is bad at his job because he's complaining about having to support a special snowflake with a snowflake device.

Yeah, I know enough about Macs to get by (and enough about Google to get a bit more than that) but if I got a job that said I would only have to support Windows and suddenly somebody threw a Mac into the mix I'd be pretty peeved.

Macs are fine to support if you're given the resources to do so, and enough notice to plan a success of it. Like pretty much everything else. Printers that you can evaluate and deploy a standard, stable driver for, and integrate nicely with your SMB setups and print management? Go for it (with the caveat that they are still loving printers). USB inkjet from the local office supply warehouse that someone wants to use with Citrix?

For be fair my complaint was about a specific issue we see which is probably due to Centrify loving up or something, I wasn't the original complainer and I hyperbolized that post. We're switching to Jamf sometime soon which seems more full-featured so hopefully this will be a thing of the past.

As a one man IT department if somebody asks me for a Mac I will gladly hand them a Windows desktop and tell them to call with any questions about how to use it. I cannot afford extra software or time sinks for snowflakes.

You can have whatever policies you want I guess, but if a network was meant for authorized devices only then I'd expect that to be enforced with some port security. There are policies that only exist to provide BOFH-ammo for the occasional chance to be a massive poo poo to people, and they don't help the organisation in any way.
