A brief run down of my day:
4.5 additional hours on site. Why? To migrate 3 systems to Windows 10. 1 had to be reimaged because it had a power loss while I was out for lunch and another because it wasn't connecting to the right domain. So 6 hours reimaging those 2 systems. Plus the third needed to be adjusted after because of some minor setting that made no difference.
The worst of it? NONE OF THE SYSTEMS ARE IN USE! 1 was in a front line that was pulled for a supposed hardware defect which I couldn't find any trace of but couldn't recommission because the cables were junked some time ago. One was in a greeter spot that didn't have a mouse and plugging one into it's PS/2 slot (seriously, why are those STILL used in a office environment?) would not get a response (and yes, I did restart.). The third was in a office reserved for guest staff that bring in their own laptops and hasn't been logged in in such a long time it wasn't even in the registry database.
I swear, if I got one more call from the command desk I would go looking for a hammer...
