Ugh. Nice quiet day for you then Dean.
So it looks like a security company (Crowdstrike) issued an update that rolled out and started BSOD'ing Windows machines.
Interesting one this. It must have passed all their testing and usually you'd surely phase such a rollout, at least a small one before a "big bang" rollout.
I'm sure we will get an explanation in the coming days/weeks.

Not travelling this time (thankfully)
…need a doctors appointment though.
Luckily an IT outage doesn't reduce your chances of getting one by very much at all.

Personally can’t complain about my local GP. Can usually get an appointment the day of, if needs be…

Seems spectacularly bad so far, some suggestions that the only way to fix this is by manually visiting every affected machine and a remote fix won't be possible. That would be... slow and costly. To put it mildly. Ever so glad not to be in corporate IT today. God speed to anyone who is.

CrowdStrike is a silly name.

@nemo
Yeah, if it's bsod before boot I'm not sure how you'd centralise the fix.
I suppose it goes back to recovery mode, we've a couple of 'turn it off and on again' types here - can you centrally make it auto boot to safe mode or run some kind of patch from here?

Presumably this clusterfuckstrike crowd will be booted out of bed with Microsoft? Or will a massive loss in share value & ensuing claims be deemed punishment enough? Microsoft lawyers will be looking into the strength of the Teflon coating in the small print I guess. An apology doesn't really cut it. Still, gives corporate IT bods across the globe something to do for a change. ![Smiley](//thetownend.com/Smileys/tefsmile/smiley.gif)

Asking me to do extra work today in this heat is ridiculous..... I have had to have more WFH drinks on a Friday than usual, it's a tough gig, but I got through ![Cheesy](//thetownend.com/Smileys/tefsmile/cheesy.gif)

I will spare a thought the next time a zinger stacker meal goes right through me. The aim of the IT game should be early retirement with a bit of luck. Hope it works out for you in that respect.
