It reminds me of a little kid who changes the rules all the time. They hold meetings and preach about certain things….but never follow up. the sccm team brought every chrome browser down across the entire country last week. Not a single person on my 7 man team cares anymore. Yes! They have polices and KB articles, and its standardized….
