Microsoft outage?

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

What if all your instances are affected.

You can go the serial console route.

However I must admit, never played with that yet

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

Was interesting to see that MS Bloomberg Office add-ins were also affected!

Lots of International clients still complaining that they are still affected...fun and games

What about the IT team that simply pushes the latest updates without testing them, blame needs to be apportioned approriately

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

Might be a challenge if bitlocker is enabled.

I fully agree.

But as the only IT oke here(My Company), I will never take the blame.

Lets be honest, that would be most likely due to a PM or someone wanting to hit a deadline.....

Show me ONE IT person who would happily deploy code to production on a Friday

Oh no make no mistake, this was an F-up all round, mostly thanks to Crowdstrike,
Multiple checks and balances need to fail.

Do companies even QA anymore? I know we still get grilled over QA

I'm currernly watching a stream of chats on teams of all our products that are down (thank goodness I don't have anything to do with it)

Releasing a global update on a Friday << how to disrespect every sysadmin worldwide.

 

[trippinBillie]

RTE's on suicide watch. isn't this the second time a crowdstrike release causes havoc?

EDIT: my bad, was thinking of the SolarWinds episode

I did it ONCE, I pushed a site update on a Friday afternoon. My Friday afternoon ended on Saturday evening

Fun when you have a estate of thousands of servers and only a couple of sysadmins because automation.
