The fact that you felt you needed to create this server in the first place means that you and your IT department are not working together. If there is a need for something from the clinical side weather that is scheduling or medical records then your IT department should be working with you to get what you need. If you don't have that kind of relation with your IT department then you need to build it. If its your fear that the problem then you need to suck it up and deal with what IT's policy is. If your IT group is being difficult and not working with the clinical side then you need help find ways that to create a better IT group.

Don't forget that the IT department is a service group if they are not servicing your needs then they aren't doing there jobs. As distasteful as that might be to admins like my self that's the truth. That's doesn't however give the right to mistreat them just a reminder that they are there to facilitate the organization as a whole.

Cutting off the IT group is no solution, just the same as the IT group cutting out the clinical side is no solution. Work together and if you feel strongly enough about IT then step and and become a liaison between the IT group and clinician.
