URGENT: Win Server 03 AD user ?

Unlike MLF, I don't think that users are inveterate liars............they are neither intelligent enough to get away with it nor stupid enough to try..........they just seem to be "very economical with the truth"

It appears that nihils UK users are much more savvy then my Canadian ones.

Lets see...for example today I had a boss type who is notorious for leaving applications open 24/7 and does not like to have to "re boot" the machine. Every so often...about once a month he calls me and complains that "things are acting funny" and dont work. My standard response is " have you restarted your machine lately?" and his response is "of course".

I then usually venture over to his office and see if I can help.

I open task manager and see the the machine has been running for about 531 hours...which in my estimation is approx 22.125 days. and I tell him that a restart should fix his issues...because the machine has been running 24/7 with several applications open for approx oh 3 weeks...and and some applications will continue to use up all the resources until they are restarted....sometimes the machine will require a restart also

and he tells me

"the computer is lying"

I didnt even know how to respond to that. I nodded my head and suggested he restart his machine to see if it would resolve the issue.
