reboot: World's most useful helpdesk tool

Post by Red Squirrel »

No joke, you should see how many computers I "fix" over the phone using this high tech tool. :D

The best is printer issues. I tell them to reboot and stay on the line, and while its rebooting, about a minute after I start hearing paper coming out of the printer. :P
