Yes, I'm in the same situation at work myself.

Even worse for you I see.  When I was at Joy in Franklin Pennsylvania,
our machine administrators where in the state of Wisconsin.
They decreed that only their officially sanctioned programs
would be on the machines.  Then removed the ones that were not,
which they did from Wisconsin.  They had no clue what the
compilers or any of that stuff was on our development machines,
so it was simply removed.  It took local management a couple of
days to get the people to leave our machines alone.  So we
had no tools, and somehow it was our fault that we were late
in delivering a project.  We did have good backups fortunately.

Tell Fabian 'Hello' for me if you ever bump into him via
phone or email, please.
