I've been using Windows as a network administrator for just over 6 years now. I've used NT4 servers, 2000 servers, and Windows 2003, and there has been a tremendous improvement with each version. There are still some things that drive me nuts in my job, though, and this is a chronicle of the top five.

My favorite Windows Server stupidity story is the time I was at a clients office working on a problem with one of their workstations. I noticed out of the corner of my eye that one of the employees in the office was doing what appeared to be work at the server, or so I thought. A short time later other employees in the area I was in began to ask if something I was doing was "slowing down the network". Getting curious i wandered by the NT4.0 server to see the employee "working" on a game of "3D Pinball"! (D'oh) Now theres a really stupid component for Microsoft to include in their default server install!
