Remember the blue screen of death? BT Wanted lots of it!!
The rollout to desktops was hitting a lot of problems internally for legacy systems and as I managed a lot of these and therefore had a lot of exposure to PC configuration, I was asked to join the team.
The scope was huge - every desktop PC in BT. My contribution was creating the scripting to copy the file and directory structure for every user, for re-store after operating systems rebuild. It was a great success, but did generate file locking issues for old DOS database programmes which lead to my next project.
