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.

    No yeah I actually agree with what you’re saying. And no of course I don’t mean a trainee or student. I think I may not have been thinking of the same scenario as you. OP was very difficult to follow I don’t know if it was translated or something. I’m thrilled to hear that training on the job is finally happening.

    And yes I’m all too familiar with the concept I remember there was a job posting that required several years experience in a technology that was brand new. A few of my colleagues and I would spam them with applications and phone calls informing them of just how stupid they were being with that requirement. Someone didn’t have a clue what they were asking for. Hiring managers amirite.

    I really don’t disagree with you at all.

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