At this point the power is off in the church and has been since Thursday morning. The servers were taken down Wednesday gracefully in anticipation of losing power without notice through the night or at least in a hurry. So at this point (Monday morning) I would forecast that by Thursday night things will be back to normal with systems up and functioning as we would like. Some prayer in this regard would be a good idea, so join me. We’ve done a lot of work recently and while I think that we’ve been vigilant in our thinking, planning and execution of the changes there’s always room for errors and omissions.
Assuming that we really do come back online with no major issues we have a backup server to bring online and get a back up done - there hasn’t been one in a while… The other thing would be to kit-up the trouble machine with Jed’s CD of standard Windows software. It probably would be good to do a desktop night of upgrading software. This is something that I’m trying to schedule for the second Thursday of the month so that it doesn’t get left behind and follows on the heels of patch Tuesdays.
