I don't quite recall, but I think they were moved again to an office or something. No idea who was moving computers around and properly connecting them to the network, it wasn't us (contracted IT). At least they put both this guy's computers directly next to eachother. But nothing was labelled. I recall trying to get someone onsite to label the computers both times and I don't think it ever happened lol.
I think another wrinkle was that most of the attorneys were at that time being migrated or already using a single remote desktop server in a Colo, so I don't know why the customer got this guy a second remote computer. The owner had a tendency of just buying computers without consulting us, and this particular lawyer was a bit of a squeaky faucet with tech, and the RDS was.. less than perfect. So that's probably it.
