A story fit for /r/sysadmin:

Had to script and locally/manually uninstall and reinstall custom application on ~25 computers because:

  • enterprise policies disable remote scripting/powershell remoting even though it an be enabled securely
  • application developer had not finalized silent install
  • dev team wont build the automation themsevles.

If you have any form of automated configuration management, you're blessed :)
