    I hate you. Today I discovered a server that appeared to be in working order was actually just hanging on by a thread. The crash when the crowdstrike driver caused the blue screen of death must have corrupted some of the network configuration in the registry. When I couldnt make the failover cluster live migrate to or from that server I ejected it from the cluster and rebooted it, only it never came back up 😥

    Now all my servers are suspect until I can verify that they are healthy.

      Ah yes, the realisation that everything dependable and solid in the world is just a monument to hubris, built on foundations of sand

        In general, I don’t think the concept of a configuration database is bad - at least not inherently moreso than every application putting its own configuration file(s) in whichever format it wants somewhere on the filesystem.

        Whether the window registry is a good implementation of this concept is surely debatable.
