Literal excerpt from a ticket.
Need your assistance with the following connection for the equipment to be delivered and installed Dec. 09 Due to the built-in servo amplifier and frequency converter the machines can not be connected directly to an IT network. The IT network must be converted to a TN-S network by an isolating transformer. The machine is connected to the TN-S network. This is going to a manufacturing machine, but can anybody shed some light as to what I am looking at here?Why are they using an isolating transformer rather than just a standard flux capacitor?
Because the flux capacitor can only be put in with a left-handed screw driver. Most people don['t have those.
You're getting a raw deal. My vendor said my flux capacitor can be installed with both types of screw drivers.

I have no insight for this one.

I think your vendor is just trying to make a sale...

That is electrical terminology. TN-S is the typical 2 wire plus ground standard in the US. It has nothing to do with networking. To confuse things, they do use the term network to mean electrical network.

So by "IT network" and "network", what they really meant was electrical sockets and electrical network?
No wonder they submitted an IT ticket.
Their vendor has no idea whey they are saying.

This thing is going to put out the motherload of interference and it will scramble the shit out of any standard RJ45. Please help.

Turns out that he literally asked for everything backwards. Everything he wanted to migrate he didn't mention, and everything he wanted to keep the same he said he wanted to migrate!

I was just about to post today's gem, when another, greater gem appeared.
Ticket: Person called office; entered X extension; rather than dialing X extension call was routed back to the main IVR.
Resolution: Disabled X's extensions's call forwarding which was setup to forward their calls to our toll-free number, which is answered by the main IVR.

Wow, no responses yet so maybe it'll improve once he does, but damn...
VDI that they can't support, QNAP with SSD for seven hosts!!, Hyper-V 2012 (not even R2), Hyper-V as a role, Windows 7 still, etc. Claims "no budget" but is clearly so flushed with money that they are buying just anything and not worried at all about being cost effective.

@scottalanmiller It looks like they have tons of money from that list you just mentioned.

That's what I said to him. He claims no budget, but EVERYTHING he describes is a company flaunting how they can throw money away.

How is a complete lack of knowing what DNS is so common in IT? Of all things, it's so simple and so commonly totally misunderstood.

Maybe I’m obtuse but what’s the use case for plain FTP any more? If you need to receive use SFTP if you’re just handing out stuff use HTTPS. There must be some reason I just can’t see it.

Yes they do.
