| Nov 25, 2014 at 14:53 | comment | added | Katherine Villyard | @JourneymanGeek There was one memorable question that seemed to boil down to, "The people who manage my active directory are completely unavailable, and I have no privileges to change a computer's OU, so to add a computer to the OU it needs to be in I change the name of a computer on my workbench, then give my new computer the same name, stand on my head, cross my fingers, and remove/re-add the machine. Why isn't this working as expected?" Um. (Dude! Sorry your admins are unresponsive, but talk to them, anyway. We can't do anything about that.) | |
| Nov 25, 2014 at 3:11 | comment | added | Journeyman Geek | This seems MUCH better to me, actually, especially since it cuts out the "I need this to force my sysadmin to do crap he dosen't need to do" type questions too | |
| Nov 24, 2014 at 22:24 | comment | added | TheCleaner | My edit was just a recommendation to @KatherineVillyard ...I agree it can be construed as 2 different close reasons. | |
| Nov 24, 2014 at 22:18 | comment | added | kasperd | Suggesting to contact the vendor is often appropriate. And it might not need a close reason of its own. However your wording reads a lot like two unrelated close reasons mixed up in one paragraph. We should think about possible ways to improve wording. How about questions where asking the vendor would have been appropriate, but somehow it just didn't work out (not all vendors are equally professional)? Would that class of questions be considered off-topic? | |
