techrecoveryFYI on the Exchange server rant:
This isn't my job. My job is working nights, doing 24x7 network security for the Army.
This was a favor for my town's fire company.Their own IT people are quite often literally putting out fires and saving lives I used to work for a small business that did some IT support for them. I was the only one there qualified to do this level of stuff, so I still do a lot of the more complex tasks.
...And nothing is more complex than when you discover the damn thing was configured by Dell with its 4x160GB SCSI drives in a RAID-0... and one of those drives is dying.
It's up. Drive replaced, system re-raided and rebuilt. Mail is flowing, spam is not. And I finally got more than a couple of hours sleep.
