I dont think any of my users have ever used the correct i.t terms to talk about their problems, so i dont see how an A.I could know what there on about, and that when marry says her pc is broke what she really means is she has jammed the printer again.
But I could see more complex tasks to do with patching and licencing etc just going away.
As for configurations, routing, switching, network/cyber security, there are no unobtainable variables for an AI that is programmed to do this job specifically. All they would have to do is just get a base of basic job duties and a list of variables to consider when dealing with an A to Z situation and poof, there goes your job. Any unaccounted variables will be added in the testing phases. The real question will be price of AI vs Human and company specific financial situations. Last I check Humans can set their rates lower than what a developer is required to offer it at to prevent net loss.
Remember; soon rather than later gentlemen :)
Automation can be done in a limited way in an evolving environment.
The only part of the work that need a human is in case of material problem only...
