Thanks, you're right and that's what I not did in the past decades. I kept my fingers from ANY server and left the liability to the IT-guys.
In this particular case the problem was that the owner complained that always the duplex mode was on when printing on several machines. So I offered to install at least one functional driver locally which worked perfectly and everybody in the office was happy. The owner was so proud that he told the IT-guy that I "fixed" the problem. IT-guy got angry and shouted to me, who do you think you are? You have no idea how I set up the server and you have no knowledge that the server will kick out anyway your driver.
I was baffled by this rude behavior and had unfortunately not an answer ready. The only thing I could say was, that when his set up was so advanced, than why the customer had these unwanted duplexing besides several other IT issues for months. IT-Guy left with a slamming door. Owner and me we both had a heartily laugh after this and we drank a beer together. Owner is 100% at my side since I always have a solution for any problem for him whatever the case.
