When I think about it the answer is yes to that comment it is a bunch of
edjits but not as we know them. These are the sort of edjits who make a
difference.

I know that from an IT perspective that I am a sort of nightmare as I know
enough not to be fooled by them and if I wanted and could be arsed to spend
the time could crack the NT clients on the network but I am a good willed
person and am looking out for the interests of my employer. The scary thing
is though that I may be a decent bloke but if they decided to say that I was
a threat to security because of my inquisitive mind I would be labelled and
more than likely cautioned (or worse) for it. 

Intentions are to tell IT because we want to put it onto the network and
have a look at exactly how compatible it is. I have no idea as to what will
happen because our servers are NT and will be expecting an NT client. I am
also unsure as to what handshake the NT servers will require to get logged
in etc.
