if you think your week has sucked
So, if you think your week as a systems admin has sucked, be glad you're not this SCCM administrator: http://it.emory.edu/windows7-incident/ You need to read from the bottom up to get the idea of what happened, but I can say this is an easy mistake to make. Ryan
Oh boy, that sounds a fun week. There was me bellyaching about an Exchange 2013 upgrade which had one small issue with external Exchange 2007 clients getting an extra authentication prompt which caused a serious incident notification at our firm. Looks as though they handled things very well in the circumstances.

Yep, I'm going to guess they had really good backups. We're just beginning to look at OSD with SCCM, once we finish the 2012R2 upgrade which is at a standstill because we have some serious remote site type hardware updating to do, they want it configured so our desktop support techs can reimage any machine at any location at any time. Not easy, and I passed that onto them and reminded them that with great power comes great responsibility.

I'd say they closed the page as they were starting to get some exposure from the online media.

For them, yes. For the entire internet, more like amusing. Perhaps they finally wised up to that, but its all over the SCCM lists that I'm on.
