I should clarify I wasn’t a upper level sys admin managing those servers, I just used them or maintained accounts being a rank and file technician

While I get the fundamental concept of DNS as a phonebook for your IPs. I am not sure why it is joked around if something goes haywire or someone breaks something.

Is it because if you get no DNS, people can’t log in through their AD accounts, browse the Internet?

Afaik DNS is a bit of a rabbit hole topic, maybe that’s why people joke about it due to DNS being this “No one really knows how this magic name matching box works”?

Please correct me, I’d genuinely like to know why this is prevalent from you guys.

    I thought it might have been how the original post was structured.

    my colleagues and I would spam them with applications and phone calls informing them of just how stupid they were being with that requirement.

    Now that is a feel good story everyone can enjoy lmao, too right.
