Same here: for Windows, everything was turnkey by IT, including the
installation of all relevant Apps. All I had to do was to log in and
walk through a couple of settings in MS-Outlook to link into the host
computer. OTOH, if it wasn't a Windows box, it was 100% DIY, but also
came with instructions of various command line modifications that IT
security required...a royal PITA.
There was a very brief attempt by IT to not make the users Administrators.
That lasted a couple of days until they realized that meant the
programmers would stop programming or submit a constant stream of help
desk requests to install what we needed.
Then there was the attempt to blacklist sports and porn sites. I don't
know if it's still around but experts-exchange was the predecessor to
Stack Overflow. expertS-EXchange triggered blacklist. That didn't last
long either.
