People all of the sudden can't login, or there computer goes to locked screen saver after 1 whole minute of inactivity. Default printers quit working or can'ge get into file shares they could before.
He has also been going thru and changing things in Office365 that I have to go back in and change back. I've also had to export all our active users from our HR system and re-import them into AD because he screwed up stuff like managers, departments, titles.
He also went thru and changed a bunch of stuff on our firewall so only about half the people using VPN can get in.
He seems to think it is normal for things to just stop working after he has changed the settings and it is anything except the settings he changed. Funny how we didn't have any of those kind of problems until he was given admin on that stuff.
The last guy just changed little thing every once in while. After a couple of weeks decided to let me do office365 and the network guy handle the firewall.
Been taking classes to get certified on Office365 stuff. There are things Microsoft is teaching that you just don't do or don't work anything like they say it does.

We had someone that would not lock their computer when they walked away from the computer and after repeated warnings I made a GPO just for them. It locked the computer after 15 seconds of inactivity. They got the message.
We used to have upper management that wanted technical solutions to people problems. Now we train people and have had far fewer issues. We have a good firewall but without training, given a choice between dancing pigs and security an end user will choose danging pigs every time.
