What IT tasks have you found in your career to be just painful
- by Chopper3
We always try to be clever and script everything that we find repetitive but not everything can be automated - what have you found in your career to be just a massive pain?
I'll give you mine - building Netware version 2.xx on 5.25" disks with multiple NICs - this often took HOURS of swapping disks, pacing around, swapping disks, more pacing etc. Then finally it would hopefully work - if you'd not set the IRQs/DMAs right you had to start again, wow I loved version 3 which didn't need all that.
What about you?
