I work for a relatively small software company with a young knowledgebase. I've just been given access to the administrative part of the kb, so I can help write some articles.

Been digging around the searches which recently have come up without results...

I experienced an access is denied error on the source problem during a conversion of a Windows 2000 SP4 (without the Update Rollout patch) last night and was forced to abort the job. I managed to get the source server back up and running however before I try the conversion again I need instructions on cleanup of the aborted conversion and more information on the access is denied message.


Any ideas why he didn't get a result? rofl

Because he added it to a kb and didn't actually send it to a helpdesk spud to have a ticket raised?

Ummmm - it's all about using simple keywords to search with, not writing an essay...

I think the point is that he actually searched for that, rather than not knowing the answer!

I looked at this earlier and couldn't figure out what he was on about, and sure as hell don't now.

If any of my staff wrote a ticket like that, I;d be giving them a shoeing over 1. their lack of spelling and grammer, and 2. Not knowing WTF they are doing.

Theres a reason why some people never get past certain levels of IT, and thats it.

To many book reading IT support staff these days, and not enough common sense...
