Did you get it back up?


I remember working on a terminal server at my last job, now an entire office of people at this remote location were connected to this with their sessions etc so it was about 30 people at this office.. they used everything databases and email..

i was on it doing some routine maintenance.. I accidentally shut it down

Phone rings...

Our servers down!!!

me: dont worry Ill fix it for you!!

them : Thanks Chantelle your a life saver!!




.... Manged to get some credit for it!!

lol Chantelle; done the exact same thing myself.

Funny also is when I upgraded a programme (coz I had a bug in it), so I dl'd the exe directly to the desktop and manually copied it to the folder it had to be in, bc it was just a single exe wasnt worth building a whole installer around especially as I was doing the install by remote anyway.

But I didnt take into account that it took the security settings from the desktop folder as I was administrator, and all of a sudden in all the stores no-one could access their Point of Sale application. Took me ages to figure out why; I actually had a person on the phone read out the directory contents where the exe is located before the penny dropped

Wasnt one of mine but some one I was training had sent out a quotation to a customer..

Price each was something like £411.. QUANTITY 15.. TOTAL £426.. this happened on about 6 of the 30 lines of items on the quotation

I ended up having to do a recost for him

and explain to the customer why his original quotation of £20,000 should have been about £45,000
