Trep... remember "work" is a four letter word...
I am having nightmares with a new security vendor (alarms, card access reader systems and card access to the parking garage) for a new client, a 33 story 500+ unit Condo building...
My "partners'" technicians think they are network engineers and they aren't... Plus it is one "vendor" with three different brands of equipment and the technical specifications do not match... The garage equipment came with a small XP workstation as a controller and it would not "cooperate"... Of course it was an Intel Board with a Celeron processor and the software specifies a PIV or better ... The vendor's tech did not cpmprehend the "problem" He kept saying "but it in an Intel Board and an Intel Processor that is compatible with the MB... I actually thought about where I could dump the body... I had my partner buy a PIV and bring it to me..,. Magically the crap worked then... RTFM (Read the !@#$%^& Manual) applies to this business... Not what is cheapest!!!
Enough venting...
