Ah, I understand your frustration, but, in those case, I have always been very very strict. There are rules to follow to assure good IT workings, if they don't, too bad.
User education solves more problems than fixes, and it save you alot of time and hassle to deal with it.
Don't forget that every little thing you solve by 'hacking' something, is something you must document and never forget in case of recovery.
Besides that, they will challenge you with new issues every now and then, which you probably would want to block again. In the end, all you would be doing is losing precious time for other, more importan tasks.
So, my advice is not technical but strictly human. Make them obey the rules, and make it VERY clear there is NO support whatsoever if they break the rules.
Get you Management to support you on this and you will have a much more relaxed job.
Send out a notification that all PAB's found on the servers will be deleted in a Months time, without further notice, and you will se the problem solve itself. There will be of course some grumblings about it, but you should ignore that. After all, you all work for a company, the company (and you) do not work for them!

If 'something' 'somewhere' gives 'some' error, expect random guesses or no replies at all.
