PSTools + Admin Rights = Fun!

Post by midi » 21 May 2009, 11:25

A mini-war between myself and our finance officer just broke out. Sadly for him, I have domain admin rights while he doesn't. He's discovered that, with the help of pstools, his desktop is locking itself every 10 seconds.

Lesson from this: Don't fuck with the admins :twisted:
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ soak rifts or riot ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm the admin and the accounts guy. Woe be to those who defy me.

"There's a problem with your server? My word, how unusual. Our servers have been solid ever since you first hired our services.

Hmm... We're working on the problem, but I suspect the work is slowed by a lack of funds. You wouldn't happen to have an invoice that is several weeks overdue, would you?

Whoop, look at that, everything is working fine again..."

LAWWWWWWWWWL!

It's a setting in your video card software. As long as you have admin rights, you should be able to load it up (either right click your desktop and click properties, then go to nVidia or ATi, or look for some video control panel thing in your system tray, next to the clock) and set it back. Where the actual setting is found varies wildly between brands, models and software versions, so you might have to poke around a fair bit.

Next time, don't hit on the IT girl unless you know she's into you :-P
