By the by... one hand clapping sounds exactly like one hand clapping.

I have; it's a clapping sound.

The test acceptance criteria said that one hand clapping must sound like two hands clapping.

I always thought it sounded like a tree not falling in a forest when there's someone there.

Is that one of those questions like, "What is the sound of one hand clapping?"
No, it isn't. The question and its answers are fully accessible by an intellectual thought process, no zen intuition required. Working in a small company, I - a software developer - have to do software tests, too. And it's true: I spend waste a lot of my time for setting up the test environment. It's really fun to install the latest version of our products on a server where my colleagues had played before: development versions of our Windows services installed on the "desktop" of the user and other such WTFs. How much time gets lost for finding out such "features" and cleaning them up before I can actually do any tests...

Do a clean enviroment once, backup the server with Ghost or acronis and next time don't give a crap about your collegues, restore backup, install what you need and for the rest... GTFO :-D :-D :-D
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Good idea. But I have no administrative priviledges on the esx server. And my boss fails with such simple tasks of course (actually he'd be capable of performing them, but why should he ever bother to do something correctly?).

You are right, if he did, then he would not be a "boss" ;P
