You can't give them a process guide or a manual for this. It's something that requires understanding. It's idiocy.

I've worked with "DoD certified NT4 administrators" (retrained administrative worker bees) who didn't know arse from elbow. I walked straight onto one of their "certified configuration" exchange boxes via IIS and read classified emails over HTTP from the mail spool folder... That got me a promotion back then in '99 but it'd probably get me shot now.
