Yeah, I knew you couldn't, because if you could, you'd have answered me way back here: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=4919
You never pass up a chance to answer tech questions if you know anything about them.

I discovered a peice of software in use at my company, enterprise-wide, has some useful server-based features that we are not currently using. I matched these features up with some general procedural complaints and concerns that my manager's manager had, and suggested to her that perhaps we could enable the service in question on the server and it might solve her problem. The good news is, she loved the idea. Full steam ahead, she wants it done! The bad news is, she put me in charge of getting it done. I know NOTHING about it. This is a good thing, I guess. I mean, it's lots of recognition, possibly promotion, I'm excited. But I'm also terrified. And going to be so bloody busy...as I have to continue with my current duties while getting this done. |

Ahh the hazards of being a good employee. Yes it makes more work for you, but the additional knowledge you gain makes you more marketable. As you said it is always good to be seen as the person that is trying to do good things. Just remember that extra projects never last forever so you will be busy for a while then it is done. |

I've convinced management we should enable and configure the "Response Groups" feature in it. Now I have to cut through the bureaucratic red tape of the engineering change request process. |

Ah. I'm not sure I ever saw that thread, actually. It wouldn't have mattered, though. I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to all manner of IM servers/clients. IRC 4 evar! |

We use the same version of office communicator at my company. I'm just a dumb user, so i can't really offer any advice, but I will say that as corporate chat clients go, it blows the doors off of anything else out there. The functionality, especially when integrated into outlook, is impressive. |

Ditto Midgen. It is very very useful. |
