So were i work, we have to reboot some hardware and needs to be done via remotely. As a IT/NOC person, you know you find ways to make your life easier with scripts. So i found a need to make one for myself and process is simple. Asking around the staff here and said it can't be done. Over 20 years experience personal here and said they try everything. So challenge accepted. I guess they forgot about VBscript, and 4 lines later, i got what i wanted. Tested and works. Took it to the QA programmers, and they verify it is safe and wont flag anti-virus programs, and green light to use it. So i pass the info around and now got a meeting with the boss on friday about this. Not sure what to say, did it to make things easier not harder.. or did i just go tissing up the ladder and proved somebody wrong and got mad? what ya think?
Sounds like you found a way to address a challenge - assuming you didn’t break rules like put it into production yourself, etc. (sounds like you followed procedure) I don’t see any negatives here.
yea i am hoping for a pat on the back, but the guy that said it couldnt get done is a 20 year tenure here. So think he got mad and went to the boss.. complainng
OP - Relax, the meeting should be fine and you may even get something out of it.
1) the meeting is in a few days (and not right away, which would be the case if your boss wasn't happy with your initiative) and
2) they haven't yanked your little script
This should put your worries to rest.
