I need a favour guys n gals! - People in corporate environments

Welp, to make a really long story short, after a company merger, my new boss is trying to do away with some really good procedures, and bring in some really bad ones. One of my workmakes has thrown together a quick survey (in excel format) to gather answers to a few questions, so we can gague the results, and present a sort of "standard" view to the board.

If anyone has an environment that supports a few users, and wouldnt mind helping out, I / we (my workmates) would really appreciate it. Email me at : [email protected] , and I can send you the file, or I can post a link to it here.

It takes about 3 minutes to do, and the more responces I get, the more it helps out.

Thanks people, this is a pretty big thing for the guys I work with, and subsequantly myself.

you have mail.

Ditto

I'm also available.

Just sent you an e-mail.

I'll fill one out if you like, not sure if my place is one you want, though...

I work at a college, not a corporation, which has a network supporting about 1200 students and staff. However, I am only a lab helper who has to do low level support on about 50 computers and some projectors and printers.

Email on the way, hope I can help out

I appreciate it guys!

Im at home at the moment, and wont be able to reply to any emails for another.. umm... 8 hours, but its the first thing on my 'to do' list.

Thanks again.

Count me in. E-Mail sent.

I just sent you one too.

I'm in..... :cool:

In case anyone was wondering..

the questions covered just concern things like:

How many users?
What levels of systems access do they have?
commonly firewalled items..etc..etc..

I wanted to throw in 'mothers maiden name', but I figured a few people would get upset... :D :D

Thanks again everyone, appreciate all the feedback.

Ah, in that case I won't have all of the details you want, most likely. :(

YGM

Um.. bugger.. anyone that I sent that file to, pretty please disregard it.. my boss (the good one, not the stupid one) remade the survey yesterday afternoon.

Thankyou to everyone that has helped me out on this, It really is quite overwhelming!

Pardon my American ignorance, but I noticed at the bottom of your email you have your phone and mb number listed. I've not ever heard of an mb number. Is this a fax number or something? :confused: :confused: <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

Removed post due mainly to its redundant nature..

I see that my boss sent out a new version to everyone (I wasnt expecting that..) thankyou to everyone for their patience with this, and willingness to help out. Im still gobsmacked :)

Minor update : The new (bad) boss got wind of our exploits, and has taken offence at it. This is a great shame on his behalf, as he appears to be the only person objecting to this form of business evaluation. Perhaps he can just smell his job vanishing.. *shrug*

Thanks again all.
