MS: I would like you to connect to our screen sharing application from your workstation so I have access to all the servers.

Me: Is it Mac compatible? I don't use Windows.

MS: (Sounding shocked) You're on a Mac? To manage the Windows network? Why?

Me: Look at the Windows network right now, nothing works. Someone has to have a reliable computer to fix Windows when it blows up.

I know I get on people who take shots at Microsoft around here, but this is really the best post in the thread.

What's the status now? Anything working yet?

I'd love to have seen the reaction on the tech's face when he said it.

I think he spit out his tandoori chicken.

Around 10:30pm we had Exchange and the domain all fully operational. I then handed the call off to one of my guys and he stayed on it until around 4am, doing cleanup work on the domain, bringing up a new domain controller, etc. In the morning the network was 95% operational and there were just some details to fix (such as restoring static DNS entries that were wiped out for whatever reason).

Oh, and the tech in Bangalore actually told me the best Indian restaurants to go to in Phoenix. At least I got something out of the call.
