Nice job. Maybe you can get another promotion if you teach him the runas command so he doesn't have to log you off anymore.

Permissions within AD do not take full effect until you logout and log back in...

Seriously. Like a fantasy or dillusion or parody or something.

I mean, what, the bosses said, hey that Warcrow dude sure seems to know a lot about computers let's give him full domain admin rights? For someone to prove themself as a worthy admin you'd think they'd have shifted over some responsibility and if it worked out well, you'd bump them up further. If that happens to be the case then he's awful geeked about an incremental increase.

And, was Warcrow sitting at a Server or was the AdminPak already installed on the workstation?

It sounds too much like Viper telling Maverick he'd be his wingman and flipping him his wings. But WTF, it's Warcrow so it's gotta be true, but, still, just sounds....weird.

I've been doing alot of side projects for his team for weeks now to prove my motivation and worth. :)

I take it back. This is freaking Warcrow's life we're talking about. This guy randomly bumps into the most generous NC Soft exec on the planet at a poker game. A bizarre exchange like this shouldn't be that surprising taken in that context.

You deserve your own 80's movie with <your name>, <some adjective>, and then "Adventure" as the title.

He then proceeds to log in, and jumps into AD. I walk closer as he flys through the AD console. I take a closer look wonder what he is doing and I see him adding my AD account to "Domain admins" and some other "godly" level administrative levels. He turns and looks at me and says, "You've just been promoted. How much do you want?" I looked at him, and didnt reply because I was really taken back and wasnt really able to think about what I was conformatable with (especaially with the guy from Bangalor talking in my ear).

He said, well....dont worry...we'll talk money later. You'll be happy, trust me.

I just sat down, smiled....and realized............I just got promoted. :)

Haha. That's awesome man. I think that's one of the best ways I've heard of getting a promotion yet.
