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...

Servers on Windows? Even domain controllers can be Linux-based.

I'm a long-time Samba fan, but even I wouldn't run them as DCs in a production environment.

I meant sssd, that I've seen working as a DC, if my memory serves me right. But I've never been the person setting up a domain controller, so.

EDIT: No, it doesn't serve me right, from quick googling sssd can't into DC's. Kurwa.
