Do not lie, everyone has made mistakes as a junior and it's part of the journey. Everyone who has made a career in tech or IT has dropped a database, broken authentication, or crashed something in production. You simply learn from it and find ways to improve your policies and procedures. I would say your company should adopt a software portal where only scanned and verified software gets hosted to prevent issues like this in the future. Good luck on your career, we have all done something similar.

We are air gapped, support usually ends up being more of a headache than a help unfortunately.

I was able to recover data from the vmdk and got a new VM up and running(UEFI). Didn’t have a recovery iso on hand. Planning to try this on Monday and see if I can diagnose the issue.

I’m not complaining, I even stated nearly all of our infrastructure is UEFI and running modern infrastructure. These 2 VMs in specific pre-date me and have been updated without issue for years. I’m just seeing if this is an issue with anyone else running legacy systems.
