Windows 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.

Logging (lack there of)
by Kevin on Wed 29th Sep 2004 03:43 UTC

My biggest gripe, and I think it is the most important, is the unbelieveable lack of logging. If something goes wrong, event viewer is either empty or has something useless and you have to pray someone else has already uncovered its meaning. On Unix systems, practically every server application logs to /var/log or such. You at least have a good chance to solve the problem or at worst narrow it down to the application that is the source of the trouble.
