You will not be able to do your job. You won't be able
to register components, or make the IIS settings to
provide the correct level of security. You won't be able
to take ownership of other peoples projects so that you
can set security. I'd bet your NOS department is not made
up of MCSEs. If they say they are check with Microsoft.
You will probably have them fired instantly when their
boss finds out they lied about it. They must be Unix
administrators.
