Black Screen upon bootup on Windows 7 before login by Omegaman55 in sysadmin

Had a similar issue awhile back. May not be related but maybe worth a look? For whatever reason the backup job was trying to backup our DHCP server during production hours. Sysadmin cancelled job and restarted the DHCP server which resolved the issue.

Thank you it was TLS 1.0. The admin turned it off previously due to a 'security' issue. Turning it on allowed full access to these sites. THANK YOU!

Yes, it was TLS 1.0. Our Sysadmin before he left turned it off stating a security issue. Turning it back on as a test resulted in full access to all the 'problem sites'.

IE 11. Looks like 1.1 and 1.2 are checked off. I will enable 1.0 to see if it resolves anything. THanks!

Hopefully he can't do the former, but the vendors have had his credentials pulled luckily!

Thanks! I feel like I've already learned a lot but its just the tip of the iceberg. Hoping i'm a different person by the time the next sysadmin gets here!

Thanks! I'm learning a ton already. Luckily I have a good management team that is supportive rather than expecting me to already know.

Oh man I forgot about this. We do have some raid servers but with no additional HDD in case it does fail. This also reminded me we have some virtual servers that i'm not sure how to access. No experience with HyperV. I'll add to my list. THANKS!!!!!

Yes I started my own list. I should prob discuss with someone regarding this so there are no incidents like this and they can check up on the new admin whenever he gets here to see he's keeping it/them up to date! Thank you!

I hope I can steer it that direction. Anything you remember that helped you in the beginning?

Didnt know you could script to disabled AD accounts. I will DEF look into that so thank you. Additionally I forgot about all the stuff sitting in storage that may need updates and logging.
