the soft recovery succeeded

But the system still reports dirty shutdown. so on to hard recovery with /p

Ever done a forklift recovery?

Also, to get mail flowing set up a Dial Tone database.

Heh ... that looks familiar.

@JaredBusch What is the error in the Windows Event Logs?

Any mention of Fragmentation?

What special case needs UAC completely off?

Company purchases an application that requires it.

For those kinds of apps we use ProcessExplorer and ProcessMonitor to find where it needs MOD access and tweak accordingly.

Shimming also works.

The most common culprit is it writing to its Program Files folder

Yup.

There are a number of impolite words for that kind of coding that's so QuickBooks 2009.

For those that are absolutely poor in their coding another option would be to post it as a RemoteApp in Remote Desktop Services with the appropriate routing in place to only allow the app to select client machines. No Internet access without specific rule sets in place for the vendor's update/activation servers if required.

EDIT: RemoteApp in 2008 RTM or R2.

Hmmm ... this from a little over a year ago.

Same "problem".

Routing is not magic. Errors happen.

That may be so, but the expectation is that the same errors would not happen over and over again.

FFS It is not the same. Are you stupid?

Jesus, calm down. No one pissed in your corn flakes...

No kidding. Don't go all Boomtown Rats on me.

From Cloudflare:

Update - This afternoon we saw an outage across some parts of our network. It was not as a result of an attack. It appears a router on our global backbone announced bad routes and caused some portions of the network to not be available. We believe we have addressed the root cause and are monitoring systems for stability now.

Question is, where did those "bad routes" come from?

Garbage in = Garbage out.

Better yet.....Where was the Change Request?

Based on their follow-up post it was human error. So, my original thought stands.

So does mine. Garbage In usually means no Change Request.

Point taken.
