sounds like your company 'organisation' isn't. (IT is a service dept., they shouldn't have refused the earlier request.)

I have yet to encounter an IT department that sees itself as being in a service role.

Our database group has a dozen SAs, but absolutely NO database developers. That means it's up to the various customers to craft SQL jobs (and their subordinate SSIS packages), or stored procs, or UDFs.

I stared open-mouthed at the head of the department when he stated this. I think I'm the only one in the organization that knows how to develop a SSIS package.

I like your manager already.

I find that some people in IT departments like the power of control and get upset when they get circumvented by developers. They don't realized that all the fun little tools that they get to play were, in fact, created by developers. For sh*ts and giggles, you should dig into Windows Management Instrumentation classes so you can read back a list of programs running on the Admin's workstation*** along with a whole cornucopia of information they like to think is locked down.

Last time I poked the bear, I got "officially" reprimanded. I think it went on my permanent record (the one they always told you about in elementary school). I have zero f*cks to give.

And now there is some IT weanie burrowing into AD doco trying to find a way to shut you down... again.

I find having to circumventing their little tyrannies really irritating so I now escalate the the issue.

My standard response to any request for a solution is the requester is to get access to the source data before we accept a requirement. I have a project that has been waiting 20 months for IT to supply the data for it.

I have an SSIS package that contains a C# Script to get all users and groups from Active directory and saves it to SQL Server for integration with other data.

When I got back the cat didn't know a zloty from a forint, and turned up its nose at the kielbasa I brought home.

I split up with my girlfriend. The cat went AWOL.
