@dafyre Hope it goes well. If was a planned hard drive failure, I'd question the motives of the one who implemented the plan.
Fortunately, it was just my office machine's data drive. Veeam Endpoint Recovery restore FTW.

I am dealing with random reboots after updates last night even though my GPO active hours are between 7 AM and 7 PM and Default maintenance is set to 2AM and the computers are still rebooting... Windows 10 Pro with WSUS....
Are you using any monitoring software? My boss used something (I forget the name of it) and it actually out-prioritized those settings. Turned automatic updates on and everything.
If any app sends a reboot signal with proper privs, it's going to reboot. Those other settings won't apply. It's like hitting the reboot button.
In my case it was triggering reboots due to updates and ignoring GPO
Normal updates, or a third party app running updates and then rebooting?

Days like today I wish I had some programming chops.

What needs to be done?

@scottalanmiller Cross-referencing Windstream Tollfree + Longdistance call log (csv) with my PBX's CDR log (csv) for the same period. Problem is, even if I could write a program, I don't think the task can be done programmatically. There are slight time derivations between the Windstream csv and my PBX, so I have to decide if X records are really a match.

Is the deviation consistent?

This is really interesting. Literally never heard of this but it's basically the only chicken that's available around here.
-
@scottalanmiller No, and looking closer, the "derivation" is actually the fact that the PBX adds seconds, and Windstream doesn't. However, Windstream's csv has Date + Time in one column, while PBX is separate.

Well that is just crap.

Seeming that 10M on the counter is pretty sweet.
-
@scottalanmiller Yep. Don't see a way around manual work.

From a post on SW. It's amazing how often things not quite this dramatic happen in IT. You can see it in hundreds of posters on SW and the way that they think that they are so much more important than the business itself.
"The former Sysadmin for a client was terminated. Basically he was becoming increasingly difficult, and eventually we were called in because they felt this guy was holding their network hostage. When he was asked for passwords he had some kind of mental meltdown, jumped on a desk and started screaming that he is an IT God at myself and another technician I brought in to clean up the mess. Security dragged him off as he tried to get violent with the owner. "

@scottalanmiller Source please.

@scottalanmiller Should've took the blue pill.

Slowly figuring out why we had a spike in long distance usage.

@scottalanmiller Not going to lie, I kind of wish there was a video of this incident... Haha

I'm not crazy on this, right? Cold Windows replicas are just backups and NEVER require a license. Hyper-V Replica doesn't require any special licensing and you just need to license the VM to power it on, right?

The thread is exploding and I feel like I'm explaining basic English. Am I missing something? Every reference he produces supports my point, from that I can tell.
