All our servers and company laptops went down at pretty much the same time. Laptops have been bootlooping to blue screen of death. It’s all very exciting, personally, as someone not responsible for fixing it.

Apparently caused by a bad CrowdStrike update.

Edit: now being told we (who almost all generally work from home) need to come into the office Monday as they can only apply the fix in-person. We’ll see if that changes over the weekend…

      And hope you are not using BitLocker cause then you are screwed since BitLocker is tied to CS.

      You just need console access. Which if any of the affected servers are VMs, you’ll have.

        It’s not super awful as long as everything is virtual. It’s annoying, but not painful like it would be for physical systems.

        Really don’t envy physical/desk side support folks today…
