LoneAdminOK writes "I started working for a small company in the middle of January as their IT Manager. I am the first actual 'IT Guy' that they have had; before me it was someone that performed another job within the company and just handled the IT on the side. The problem that I am running into is that most of the systems program I am finding on the network and on people's camcorders isn't owned by the company. The person before me would just get it from 'somewhere' and install it on the cyberbanking components as needed. This is putting me in a bad setting when I have to reinstall the program or find it to install on someone else's computer. Often, I am telling people that we don't have it or we have to buy another license, and they get mad at me because the other guy said that we had it. I can't even tell where the versions of Windows Server that they are running came from. The only one I know is legit is the one that is installed on an HP server with the OEM sticker on it. How have any of you handled a area like this? I don't install 'borrowed programs' in a provision terrain because I know that if the BSA got wind of this, it would all fall on me when they stormed in."
