Just be glad it didn't happen on a Monday! Terrible way to start off a week!

AKA bad me Yeah I seem to run into this kind of "I should change my career" event once every five years or so, although this event isn't nearly as stressful as being at a client (these down systems are at %dayjob%) and having a RAID5 card die and thinking "I don't even know how the RAID volumes were configured, this setup pre-dated me...", this on their primary SBS server. The worst in my 15 years was P2V-ing a different customer's SBS server with Hyper-V, then about two months later when I rebooted the host, SCVMM (MS's fancy VM manager) tells me "No virtual machines found"... Current status of my disaster: I have 5 of 6 servers back up and 95%+ back to normal, not too bad for 12 hours of work...or is it? The last server is low on the critical list, I believe I will not suffer a heart attack this day.

Hope you get it all sorted out in time for the weekend! Today I find myself having to arbitrate a pooch screw regarding important procedures, and thus get everyone's story and try and make sense of it all. I feel like I'm playing the cop in a police interrogation scene. I much prefer dealing with recalcitrant machines than people. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin Any medical information contained in this electronic message is CONFIDENTIAL and privileged.
