IT pros love to share stories about the dumb things that users do, but sometimes you have to admit your own mistakes. Every admin has at least one embarrassing story about something they did to mess up their network. After all, you’re busy, networks are complicated, and sometimes it’s easy to overlook the obvious. In this IT Dojo video, I discuss several dumb mistakes that can really mess up a network, so that we can avoid them in the future.
