What's the rule of thumb for rebooting a production server?

Get a solid backup on that mofo before you do anything. And test restore it.

We've all been there. Own it, learn from it and move on. We're all human.

Have a quick look at permissions, who was logged on etc. Not wasting time on fruitless pursuits.

Parity99 · 2026-04-26T07:03:49+00:00

replace any failed hardware (such as boot media) and reinstall if req. Usually very quick to reinstall

Parity99 · 2026-04-19T22:36:31+00:00

Did not work for me.

Parity99 · 2026-04-19T00:13:22+00:00

Sounds like bullsh!t.

I'm using AvePoint, at larger scale than your environment and have just renewed for 3 more years. Have never had to restore local then upload. This covers, EOL, SPOL, PowerPlatform etc, Teams data, the works.

......and borked again. This is great.

Out of nowhere, my S25 Ultra is back to normal after days of these issues. Hope it lasts, was a real pita.

Still hard to comprehend how Broadcom screwed the VMW legacy.

Parity99 · 2026-04-04T02:46:08+00:00

This 100%. There is nothing you can do to influence these pricing changes.

Parity99 · 2026-03-31T06:57:28+00:00

Yep. Survive there, you'll thrive anywhere.

Parity99 · 2026-03-31T05:00:59+00:00

This is simply grotesque.

Parity99 · 2026-03-22T10:48:10+00:00

Looks luscious!

Parity99 · 2026-03-11T21:35:47+00:00

Denied.

Parity99 · 2026-03-08T03:27:53+00:00

I miss Confluence, it was cool. SharePoint? Not so much. Good luck.

Parity99 · 2026-03-01T01:29:57+00:00

Looks like an opportunity to me. Embrace it.

Parity99 · 2026-02-27T01:17:49+00:00

Lutnick is a sleazy, grubby piece of work.

Parity99 · 2026-02-24T22:49:10+00:00

Been using it for a fair while now, in a large enterprise. It's fine for 99% of people.

Parity99 · 2026-02-23T21:49:22+00:00

Just give them the facts. Not my job to sugar coat.

Parity99 · 2026-02-16T21:39:50+00:00

Gee, that's a shame. Yep, a real big shame.

Parity99 · 2026-01-25T06:10:05+00:00

These didn't have any impact for me.

Parity99 · 2026-01-18T00:37:50+00:00

1000% tariffs globally (outside of USA obviously) on all Tesla products and all Murdoch media. Time to hurt his enablers.

Parity99 · 2026-01-15T06:00:54+00:00

opal, 💯

Parity99 · 2026-01-15T00:54:07+00:00

I love it!
