And then the server crashed

Written on Apr 06, 2005 // Happenings.

Yesterday I worked 20 hours, today 9. Between yesterday and today; 3 hours of sleep tops.
The ancient NT4.0 Small Business Server finally croaked, so we spent the night setting up the new 2003SBS from scratch. Fuck planning, fuck migration, fuck it all.
We had to set up a new domain, all useraccounts, all mailaccounts, all groups, all printers, everything… from scratch. And we had to log every single computer onto the new domain to add it and finish the useraccounts.
50 or so users, and we got it all done overnight.
It was a bloody nightmare but it was a great feeling when I opened the mail floodgates and mail started pouring in and appearing on dozens of computers at about 3:30am.
I hope I’ll be able to wake up in time in the morning ¬.¬

Today was supposed to be the start of my final Linux training but I’ve now had to move that (last minute) to June. Ah well… time to book that MCSA fasttrack, I’m still amazed we managed to get everything up and running.

We rock.
