Yesterday and Today I was tasked with building seven servers. No issue really, just installing the OS (2203 Std and 2003 SBS).

As of right now, one has been completed. And that one needs to have a load of software installed onsite. This is not good.

Why did this happen? Was I unable to complete these installs? Was there something unexpected?

No

The parts and software were either not ordered, ordered seperately or were not delivered to the correct address.

in the words of a great man: What The Fuck?

One particular example. A server with a single 160GB HD. The client ordered server with 2x250GB RAID 0. We ordered the 2 x 250GB seperately. Why? I actually dont know if it is cheaper like this, but even if it is, the man hours alone have made this saving redundant.
