Microsoft outage?

[Scooby_Doo]

I wonder if I should check in with my crowdstrike account manager, shame

Just send him a heart emoji.

This is what I'm thinking.

Right now the workaround means some poor techie needs to hit every machine, Safe Mode, hit the CrowdStrike drivers directory, delete some files, reboot, confirm fix, rince-repeat

And retrieve bitlocker keys should the drive be encrypted.

Damn, this is hectic. Azure services and Windows affected.

I moved over to MacOS last year, so the BSOD is a distant memory now.

Crowdstrike basically ransomed the whole world.

Huge Microsoft Windows problems

Windows systems worldwide are seeing Blue Screen of Death error messages — including mission-critical servers.

Safe Mode

Now imagine this as a VM in Azure.

Hope the OS drives are small so that people can download the OS disks, fix, and upload again

[My_King]

Of all my clients, none are affected

[Ecco]

Which azure services?

Ours seem fine.

For a normal non-IT guy like me, should this be a concern for worry like maybe the VISA bank's stop working?

You can mount the OS drive to another instance, run the workaround/set bcdedit to safe mode, and mount back

Came to work this morning at 10:00 am to be greeted with all Pinpads offline, Liquid not functioning as she should..... Gonna be an interesting day...

Could be a concern but I don't think it will impact as Visa is the main but the local banking is all done by the bank/issuer ie: ABSA etc, including the 3d secures.

Only bank I heard is captitec which are probably running on newer systems.

What if all your instances are affected.

You can go the serial console route.

However I must admit, never played with that yet

 

[Kosmik]

You can mount the OS drive to another instance, run the workaround/set bcdedit to safe mode, and mount back

and there's always the serial console....
