Ticket didn't come in... Our ticket system and Exchange servers are down. Excellent. It's 16:00 on a Friday and the beer cart is rolling around the office. Dealing with this outage just fine imo.

It may be funny but it really shouldn't be that hard to believe. Think back to all the stupid poo poo you thought was true about computers before you learned better. That first screenshot does show the CPU at 100% usage.

No idea at all, I wasn't the one who set it up and I know that external belongs to our MSP who use it for emergency backup (besides the offsite), I checked over where the Virtual Hard Disk was saved and it definitely was on the C: drive. Plugging in the drive and seeing it fire up caused far too many questions to answer an hour over quitting time, it's going to be an interesting Monday

High CPU usage and the idle process reporting incorrectly can indicate a root kit.

On that particular server when opening event viewer, the CPU will reach 100% flag down to 40% go back to 100 for a brief moment and then level out at or around 20% average. Notice that he just started the tracking for the statistics.

At my old job, we brought on a client that had horrendous msp support before us. Their backup situation was a nightmare so we brought in a new backup core and drive and got everything set up. We sent one of our guys to pick up the USB drive with backups so we could seed it off in the cloud. He grabs the wrong USB drive from the server, shows up at the office, we plug it in to see what's on it and find... Their entire exchange database. It was the biggest "what the everliving gently caress" moment of my career.

Judge Schnoopy posted:Their entire exchange database.  The inevitable happened, saw an SMS on my phone saying poo poo's hosed for the weekend staff (luckily only two people have my number for super emergencies) and nobody has access to the server room. So I finish my morning tea & biscuits and drive over to the office and find one VM is online but there other still doesn't have connectivity, I check the cabling and everything is wired up fine... except I notice one of the server Ethernet port LED's isn't doing anything. Light bulb! swap out the cable and by gum we've done it, connectivity restored. What lovely luck, doesn't explain the drive though.

I used to manage a server that had a drive attached to over USB. And the server's BIOS could not be configured to not attempt to boot from USB over internal disk. So every time you had to patch that server you needed to drive out to the customer and disconnect the drive during the reboot or it'd get stuck. So we were able to charge the guy like a hundred bux every time one of our interns did the 15 minute drive
