    Fade, I gotta say Kaminsky is kinda right here regardless. If she obstructs you from fixing the problem, ask for clarification of what the company's established procedures are. If she doesn't give you any, then what I would do is document what the "network guy" does. If it happens again, you have a SOP to go by, so if she won't let you do the work, document document document that.

    The bottom line is she must agree you're allowed to do the work before you can do it. Do whatever it takes to get her to allow you. Sometimes pushing to do the work is counterproductive to your cause.
    Good luck to all!

    Just an update


    I finally got this thing working.

    It was a worm that Avast ended up removing.

    My boss was all icon_cheers.gificon_thumright.gif so I think she's pretty happy right now.

    :D

    Since this machine was a mission critical machine

    Well when the Network Consultant came in and agreed with me on everything 110% I think it helped. icon_thumright.gif

    Nicely done! Now you know what works. Do this a few more times, and you probably won't need to get his blessing anymore. Just make sure you don't do anything stupid for awhile. The reality is everyone makes mistakes, but her trust in you is obviously fragile at the moment.
    Good luck to all!

    Grats.

    At my workplace our network hicupped and 200 machines locked up at the same time. o_o; It was as I was getting ready to leave for the day. Took hours to get the server/network team involved and a high priority ticket created...by that time I had people coming to me every 5 minutes screaming about the issues.

    Just for safe keeping lol I'd take an image of this machine if its really running a mission critical app since it sounds like thats the best you'll get with the way your boss runs IT. My last company was like that I spent an entire day trying to get patches to a 2000 box rolled back so it would boot again....since it had the source to the inhouse account software on it icon_thumright.gificon_thumright.gif to the people who had that idea...but good job fade keep building that cred:D
