I’ve worked with some pretty rotten software, but management software is easily the most user unfriendly, so my vote goes to HPSM.

    Installing Windows with SCCM… without PXEbooting them. I had to use 3 different flash drives for like 8-10 computers at a time, record the MAC addresses, set the hostnames and IPs and then kick it off. I did this daily for weeks.

      Harsh. Pxebooting makes so much sense in a deployment setting.

        Yeah, it was, especially when you have ADHD 😂 I eventually got fired because I got really bored with it and my performance suffered.

        Their reasoning for not PXEbooting was that when they tried to before, it was too slow. They tried to fix it, failed, gave up and made us do it that way. This was the Windows XP EOL to 7 upgrade.
