* Its official, officially bad

Posted on January 26th, 2009 by mdl. Filed under Work.


A snafu took place with a driver being installed that syncs user account info from one type of servers on to another type of servers, which essentially changed the password for EVERY user except Information Systems users.

This is perhaps the biggest and most horriffic thing ever to happen to my dept while I’ve worked there.  Luckily everyone kept their heads about them, and we worked through the problem as best we could…aaaand will continue to as we reset the password for every user on our network.

Happy Monday.

    Bad as in the actual consequences, or the potential consequences? I mean, assuming the pwd was reset to the same thing for everyone, the potential was there to be truly truly bad, but did it actually get crazy?

    Actual consequences, mostly annoying really… Not one user can log in to our network until we manually change their password… No one knows what it was changed to.
