Ask Slashdot: Dealing With User Resignation From an IT Perspective?
New submitter recaptcha writes Today one of my fellow workers has announced he has found another job and will be leaving our company in two weeks' time. This is all above board and there is no disgruntled employee scenario here; he is simply working through his notice period and finishing up some jobs. I have already set some fileserver folders to Read-Only for him and taken a backup of his mailbox in case he empties it on the last day. Which best practices do you follow that will prevent a resigning user from causing any damage (deliberately or not) in these last days of employment before his account is disabled?
We had a person like that, everyone thought she just walked around the office batting her eyelashes to get out of doing work. Then she got let go and all hell broke loose because nobody had any idea she was monitoring logs and jobs for all kind of things through out the enterprise everyday fixing stalled jobs etc... not on her workstation but still. She liked to ask me questions and had me check some of them when she would go on leave so I had an idea we were screwed.
