Did someone here the other day have a DC that looked alive but when logged onto it just had a white screen?

Was it @JaredBusch ???

I've got one now.

Today I had another Hyper-V 2012 R2 with a Server 2012 R2 DC acting weird, but everything was still reachable. Rebooted everything under a controlled reboot and it all came back up normal. but it took almost double the normal reboot time.

HyperV Reboots are always up in the air on timing.

Yup, our MFA is affected. Good thing I was already on the VPN.

Ticket from Local IT.

Exchange is slow. blah blah.

Netops: No excessive traffic at your location..
Sysops: Exchange within daily operation performance trend....
Local IT: Screenshot.

"Outlook trying to Connect with Exchange"
30k emails just in the Inbox folder......
So they are caching EVERYTHING. Asking a lot of Outlook there.......

Well, at least they aren't working out of Deleted Items

All their subfolders are subfolders of the inbox, so they get refreshed when the inbox gets refreshed.

I have a seperate root folder called Saved and all my Sub Folders are under there.
