Back in the day when I was an administrator with server and <\/em>desktop responsibilities, I could be a very mean administrator.\u00a0 Sometimes, if it was a rare boring Friday afternoon and someone in the department had asked me too many quick questions, I might start killing processes on their PC, a favourite was nlnotes.exe \u2026 mainly cos they expected that to crash anyway and it was really annoying when it would disappear half way through writing an email. <\/p>\n

I just posted<\/a> about the new management pack template in OpsMgr 2007 R2.\u00a0 I think I know how to take advantage of it.\u00a0 With a little customisation, you could create a target group containing one PC \u2026 say the one of a person who\u2019s asked you too many quick questions that week.\u00a0 Set up process monitoring with a twist by customising it to auto kill the process \u2026 say Outlook.exe or nlnotes.exe.\u00a0 This would really put \u201cOperator\u201d into the O of BOFH. <\/p>\n
