System Admin here:

The system suffered a power failure of some sort/rebooted at 11:17 this morning. I have been working with Dell support and Sprocket Networks to get the server back online. We look to be running fine again, but I'm still trying to figure out what caused the outage. I don't see any hardware issues of any sort, so I suspect something external to the box may have caused it.

I've been working on this since 13:00.

Thanks Chris,

I moved this post from the other thread.

Also, Chris wanted me to let everyone know some of the post times might be off on some posts. But, we'll quickly forget about those so it's nothing to worry about.

A big kudos to Chris for helping us with the server.

I bet it's the cat! It's always the cat's fault. Blame it on the cat. They like to pull on wires and such.

One of the system was failing at a site and we were taking serious grief over it.
We sent out our best and it would still fail some times the very night we left...

Put in a camera and saw the janitor unplug the machine so he could plug in his vacuum...

Don't alway blame rats and cats!

Thanks Chris!

The wife said we had a power outage at the house today and the cities 911 system went down as well. One of those days I guess

I notice our 2008 mileages are missing. Did we have to "back up" to before that was added?

Weird, it wasn't showing only moments ago. Ah, well, the vagaries of computers.
