Title: RE: [Fed-Talk] Fwd: Urgent Apple Corp Engage Senior Army CIO/G6 Leadership Now (U NCLASSIFIED)
Just when we thought it was resolved....
We are now being told
Yes, we've seen that (message from Ms Henderson @ netcom), but we don't care. There's an (unspecified directive) from NETCOM to local DOIMs giving the local doim ultimate authority, and local base level doim does not want Macs on the network, therefore, the disconnect order for 31 Dec 04 still stands.
Anyone else hearing similar, or are your doims being reasonable?
