Documentation before re-iping a client site this weekend.

That'll be an exciting weekend.

Exciting is not the word I would use.

Documentation before re-iping a client site this weekend.

Sitting at a Honda dealer getting work done.

Just paid the man. Now I am even more broke.

Turning in. Goodnight everyone.

It's 6pm

@Grey gets it.

Possibly failed update from before that are just sticking around and that is why the last company did not reboot the server? Maybe it is spiraled worse since you took over, but it was left over from the last guy.

I've had auto updates hose stuff before, but this one takes the cake. I took on a client with a Dell T310 server with Server 2008 R2 Standard on it. It's physical, not virtual.

You can sense the impending disaster right away.

That is why I always like to check backups before rebooting something that is unkown or not been rebooted in a while.

debating sushi, but that means I have to stay at work vs leaving early due to the Holiday. Makes no sense for me to have sushi with friends in Irving when I work in Farmers Branch to leave early to go home to LE then back to Irving.

@NerdyDad @scottalanmiller @NetworkNerd know the struggle is real.

@dafyre said in autoupdates killed my server:

Only other thing I can think of would be to restore it to a hypervisor (and leave it disconnected) to see if that has any bearing on it... and then, you could restore older backups until you find one that works.

But with the old one running you will get conflicts. Power one off, power one on.
Delete the NIC so it doesnt preserve the MAC after the convert. new IP and rename it, then you can have both running.

Saturday going to local expo, then probably movie, and cleaning. Sunday spending time with Sisters fam and probably yard work and trip to Lowes.
Dunno, may not have enough time.

I will give you fifty.

US just dropped the third largest bomb (not including tests of course) ever.

The MOAB?

Yes

Aren't those supposed to be more destructive than the nukes the USA used in WWII? Less radiation, but still.

Not that I'm aware of. They are still conventional, although very powerful. The issue I see here is that this is an airbust bomb against a cave. It's not really what it was designed for. I guess show of force?
