  • He also refuse to setup Active Directory for the enterprise network (30 PC with a remote site). Everyone a new employer was hired it was a nightmare: configure printers, network shares, install softwares, etc. It takes days.

  • We have an email server (an old Zimbra server, unable to upgrade) in-house, connected with a simple ADSL. The original reason was that we send lot of internal emails, the real reason was that he want to secretyl read and control all the employeers email.
