I just spent half a week with the following...  I re-joined as a contractor in a new role at (big corporation), I arrived my first day (only gone a couple weeks), was able to pick up my security badge (no problem), issued laptop, bag an accessories, no problem..<p>AD login was written down, missing the last character that was there before, tried as it was, finally tried with the missing character, still no go... three calls to cusomer support later, disconnect ethernet, and able to login with secure wifi.<p>Able to login, setup a couple things... hmmm, no access... Told my email address was now a different one, ask about original email address.  No bueno... wait a day, call back (still waiting on response from original issue), decide I can&#x27;t wait, needed to get in.  No email access, no lync.<p>Finally get a call from email support the next day (weds), but it&#x27;s 7:30pm and I&#x27;m out to dinner, didn&#x27;t recognize the number, sent to vmail... the issue was that I <i>had no email</i>, the message on the voicemail said &quot;email me&quot;, no callback number, no email address, how the hell was I supposed to email them.<p>Two days later, I come in, I&#x27;m able to send mail, but not receive... there were somehow two email addresses configured.  After the weekend, I&#x27;m finally able to send and receive, but now have a 3rd email address, and have to manually fix my profile in a bunch of internal services that were auto-populated at first login.  Not to mention a VP in another division (with the same name) getting a bunch of email meant for me, because my email was fubar&#x27;d.<p>It isn&#x27;t just software, it&#x27;s entire processes.  I basically sat for a week, twiddling my thumbs (mostly), because I couldn&#x27;t communicate... still waiting on access to our ticket tracking system (was told to wait until I had email and lync).<p>I&#x27;d cry if it weren&#x27;t so funny.
