Helpdesk ticket #8675309

Report date: 8/7/17 8:00 AM

Est Due date: 9/3/17 11:59 PM

Department: Marketing (again)

Status: Open

Request type: Helpdesk request > Hardware

Subject: Sending out an S.O.S. (Save our server)

Request detail: Help!!! We were having our annual Marketing summer bash and things got a little out of hand. The weather wasn’t cooperating so we had to move everything inside—including the dunk tank that we use to dunk the CMO and other heads of marketing. We had a hard time finding a corner big enough to set up the tank until we came across a large corner on the IT floor next to that room where the server thingies live (I’m not sure what y’all do with all of those). Anyway, one thing led to another and I’m afraid that room may have gotten a little wet. I didn’t think it was a big deal until we couldn’t access our emails or any of our files on the shared drive. Please tell me you can fix this?! Maybe try unplugging them and plugging them back in? That’s usually what you tell me when I can’t get anything to work. J Thanks!!

^ Sound familiar? This month’s mission is a Race to Rescue your end-users from downtime, password resets, and most importantly, from PEBCAK errors. If you can relate, feel free to share your help desk horror stories in the comment section.

Good luck!

Good Luck!
