Our VMs are good but this just reminds me how much of a house of cards all this software can be. One wrong decision can get you in a world of trouble. We’re struggling with getting backups of the VM’s because they are always in use. And if those huge files get corrupted somehow….
As an IT guy since ’97, it’s making me nervous. I am going to long for the days of physical machines. I understand the cost cutting on the hardware side, but it makes server admin stuff that much harder.

It is strange how quickly “this will make things more efficient/easier to manage” turns into “why didn’t I just leave things alone”. Also a key thing to remember is, do not do anything right before you go out of town or after surgery (that was a big oops for me on both occasions). On the bright side, I am sure that your post will assist others in either not making the same mistake or more likely – how to fix it once they have.

I am so used to command line directives and configuration files using various flavors of Linux and various server/desktop setups, I’m not sure I could navigate Window’s GUI server configs. In fact, I’ve never graduated beyond XP. Even getting into the control panel of a typical Win7 or Vista would probably confuse the shite outta me. At least I know who to ask if ever faced with a Windows conundrum.

When you had one knee-jerk reaction, my reaction would have been to open a window and either throw the machine out it or jump out myself. Sounds like it all worked out for you (I’m guessing at that). I have a very smart son!
