My previous job, we used to shut down 5pm friday for maintenance. (most of) the other staff like this 'cos it meant they had to go home! Only the really sad people stayed.
The argument I used was that if you knew monday morning that you had to shut down your pc at 5pm friday & you found it difficult, then your time management must really stink! I had support from directors on this issue. After a while people will get used to it & it will seem it has always been this way. -----Original Message----- From: Chandrasekhar Varma [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 11 October 2001 03:38 To: MSWinNT Discussions Subject: Maintenance and planned downtime Hi, How do you guys rollout packages & fixes that require reboot. We normally do that in the weekend and send out a mail to the staff giving them a time frame in which their systems might be rebooted. But many a times we found people still working and asking us to wait. We are planning on talking to the management team convincing them to give us a dedicated a time when we can roll out packages / fixes, without sending a mail ( we would of course send a net send). Would this effect the downtime of the site. How do you calculate the site downtime? If we have to do that what other things can we use to drive across our point to the mgmt team. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks Chandrasekhar Varma This message is confidential and may also be legally privileged. If you are not the intended recipient, please notify us immediately.
