noooooo... this cant happen!!

[iamwiz82]

the fsking File server just crashed!! argh!!! nooo... please, god, bring it back to life!!

A damned service has caused it to hang on login everytime. Whats the frickin key to stop services from starting up?

 

[Zoltar]

The any key.

What OS?

 

[iamwiz82]

sorry, i am pissed right now, winNT server.

 

[Zoltar]

4.0?

 

[iamwiz82]

nevermind, its fixed, i rebooted into a second install i had on the machine, it was a print job that killed it. Strange, it was only 3 megs. Ah well. phew, destruction averted.

 

[Zoltar]

Credit to you that you had the alternate instance. Most people don't know to do that.

 

[Windogg]

Was it a PDF file?

 

[Optimus]

Good work, Iamwiz - now its Miller Time!

 

[iamwiz82]

no clue, i deleted the spool files in the other winnt dir, and it came back up. Must have been HUGE. this server has 2 GB RAM and Dual P3 Xeon 700s.

I'm sure you guys have managed networking equipment. Time to discourage such behavior with a penalty. 10mbps/half duplex perhaps?

 

[iamwiz82]

lol, even easier. Unplug their building from our router =].

The whole two installation thing is a great idea. I had never thought of that before. I could do that on my Win2K setup at home so in case it ever crashes I can bring it back up

 

[iamwiz82]

yep. The second install is called :: drum roll :: C:\winfix =]. and i just add that to the boot.ini, and i am ready to roll.

Penalize your tormenters for minimal cost and maximum amusement.
