I sent out a "server maintenance" email today, but I am actually setting up a new Exchange Client Access Server at the moment. I don't like to tell them specifically what I am doing because it's like the placebo effect, they will start imagining email issues.
The worst is when one of the C level guys starts imagining issues. It's often accompanied that infamous quote - "because if it's happening to me, it must be happening to everyone else too..."

To which you'd probably get that smug C level response... "Same switch huh?? I know all you IT guys are weirdos but... the light switch is right there on my wall, genius."

I would promptly remove that user from the system..
Seriously though, I tell the managers that if their people make stupid mistakes, they don't deserve the PCs we give them..I am in a lucky environment where they rely on IS to get jobs done

It could also mean that the internal IT staff thought it would be a good idea to install clone memory to save money. In a Itanium server. In a production environment. One day before a large, virtual presentation to their primary customer.
It could mean that.
Maybe.
