| Is it possible to spend 20+ years working with IT and NOT know what active directory is? Posted: 03 Oct 2018 05:02 AM PDT So long story short, I work with a human who is about to retire. Said human has apparently never heard of what active directory or what it does... they have been working at this enterprise long enough to retire quite soon, and this baffles me. We are troubleshooting a problem for a user, thry wants to check wether thry gave this user a certain permission. I ask them why don't we check active directory to see what groups/permissions the other person is a part of or has They replied "what's that". Now, I can understand now knowing it as a newcomer, but this human has been working with this for at least 10 years, they had no knowledge that a large enterprise has a large database that stores people's profiles so they can sign in anywhere. Turns out here they use it as a browser, ok. When I showed them what "active directory" is, they said "I've never used this". I swear, this human complains about it's job every hour, and will not shut up about how it doesn't want to be here... I can understand that they are retiring soon, just, jeez, can you liven up a little? One if the weirdest things I've heard it say is "im not the best at computers"... I wanted to say "and yet you work in IT"... I get being humble, I just never thought someone would say this in front of other people. I'm not the best with computers either, I'd say i am competent, but if never say "in not the best at computers". (Maybe it's just me being a pompous asshole, I just woudlnt speak of my abilities that way... maybe in wrong to think that) But seriously... Is it possible to go through your entire career and NOT know what active directory is? Sorry if this is a dumb question. [link] [comments]  |
