ACK! Windoze and IIS! I feel your pain. Suits usually have business degrees which obviously means they are much smarter at business matters than us "techies". I bet you just love that SAP and how it is completely necessary for those suits to know who does what and why. Wasn't that a helluva niche market! Useless crap-a$$ software that breeds yet more intelligence into suits.

I actually had my boss at a previous position get replaced by someone because they had SAP experience. It was almost comical to watch him get frustrated talking to vendor support reps on the phone. He would get red and start yelling at support reps over the phone saying silly things like, "I am experienced with SAP and since I know that people are split up into hardware and software I want to know which one you are"; this was because he did not like the answer he got from the rep which was actually quite sufficient for me to fix the issue. It was extremely hard not to laugh as the first thought that popped into my head was, "really... are you vegetable, animal or mineral"...

Aside from that, his first order of business was to take my Linux desktops which I had created an image for (30 minute placement time for new pc's) and distributed to ALL employees and had working for over a year and replaced them with WindowsXP.

His reason was that Linux seemed too much like DOS too him. Again I had to stifle laughter, several other admin on my staff and I attempted to sway him away from this poor decision but he would not hear it.

He called a meeting and said that we all needed to accept his decision because he made it period! No discussion, he actually stated that he "made the decision and that he expected us to get on board and back him in it... period!"

Shortly after that know-nothing wind bag made that decision I spoke with senior management which accomplished nothing save bad blood between myself and my new boss. So I gave a month notice and bailed.
