@hacks4pancakes if you haven't been burnt by VTP at least once are you even doing networking?
I'm surprised it's still an issue now though.

You missed all the fun! Why are all the switches lights blinking orange and nothing works anymore. I did a write erase where are these vlans coming from and why are they the ones from the building the switch was removed from/the run up room? The "fun" I experienced was the CPU hitting 110% utilization on Windows because some moron thought that it's a good practical joke to connect two LAN ports to each other... You see this was a university dormitory with ~1300 endpoints across three buildings, and I had to track down the room and request keys to the doors while all those users were loosing their mind not having internet access. |

Legacy rats nests are a primary reason I got out of the MSP business (2008) ... corporate under-investment in hardware/software and SECURITY are still big personal issues for technologists.
they decide, we wind up being at fault.
pet peeve.
