      Dammit... WHILE I was trying to do remote work that is insanely critical. AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

      I would assume that the server is still online and running and you just can't get to it because the ISP is down.

        Logged into the Microsoft VLSC for the first time in a while and see that one of our agreements still has an incorrect expiration date. >(

          Seems odd that you'd be running critical work out of an office with bad power.

              Power is out, so servers are down.

                  No way to move it. Literally no known way to move it, lots of people have looked into it. We were ACTUALLY working on doing a massive move and it has been powered down for a long time. It came up, we were starting to move, and it went down. It's not up long enough to move!

                    Is it a case of being able to move the hardware to a different location with more stable power? or does it have to remain there?

                      We are afraid to even move it because it is so old and is fragile hardware wise.

                        Not safe to move physically. That's why it is where it is.

                            Dominica was watching Netflix last night and paused the TV at just the right moment when I walked into the room.

                            And she's like.... hey isn't that your friend Helen? Sure enough, she randomly caught a moment where a friend of mine was on screen.

                            Helen's new show just finished filming season two this past week for the WB.

                                      I'll be virtualizing my Sage server this weekend, which will grant me an additional VM (since the Server standard license will move to my hyper-v host). Methinks this will be an opportunity to create a WSUS server.

                                          A lot of people like them, but I generally do not. In theory they save bandwidth, but unless you have a lot of similar boxes they don't. WSUS provides a lot of opportunity for things to go wrong and things not to get patched when they should. If you are really going to be monitoring patches all the time, WSUS is great. For normal SMBs, I think it's a terrible thing to install. The majority of places that I see uses WSUS to break patching (they want to avoid patches) rather than to enable it.

                                            I was thinking the same thing. If you haven't had it by now, why now?

                                            FYI, If you're on Windows 10 (and maybe older OSs, not sure) MS has indows Update for Business
