It's taken me the best part of a morning to set up a laptop for colleagues cos the fucking university won't provide a computer+network point for them to use with students in the "meeting room". We also have to manually order a dongle for net connectivity cos the fucking university won't extend the wifi coverage to their part of the building.
Have finally managed to make citrix work and that means we can get local files and our case management database if you don't mind it being slow and cranky as fuck.
I hate this bodging. This should be a proper wired networked desktop supported by central IT, not a bodge job from me poking things with sticks till it works.
Also, M$, fuck off, stop spamming me, don't make me have to have a Microsoft login wankshit to activate the copy of office we paid for (and now probably don't need cos it won't work with Citrix stuff and there is sort of citrixy office already)...
At least in the "this is how your bodge stuff is going to work" I can tell $colleagues S and K where the cranky bodges are and say "Reasons you do not wish explained cos you'll get bored" and they'll accept that and be appreciative.
I have a second machine to set up but that one doesn't need so much, just dyslexia screening software which I need to usertest and not on the day it's being used for screenings, so not today!
I am not a sysadmin, HONEST!
eta: Oh "Windows cannot search for more updates cos you have to REBOOT again and again and again until eternity yahahahahahaha shit absence of package manager fuckingfail" *reboots*
