Colleagues,
Just some information what went on here the last 24- 36hrs when my system was down.
48 hours ago the system inexplicably cut abruptly a few times without any obvious reason ... no power issue, no thunder/lightning ... just like that. One moment it was up, the other moment it was down ... no clean shutdown. No, "whammo" and gone in a split second. I couldn't fault the power-supply so it seemed the motherboard was beginning to cave-in (13yr old and powered-up all the time). Most likely, but I'm not 100% certain, it did something to the C-drive as well as it clicked more than I cared.
I decided to change both in a couple of days. And then it cut again twice in less than an hour and rather than losing HD-data, I decided to pull the plug. I called my RC voice to tell him what was happening.
Years ago I bought a number of identical motherboards for the juniors here, but they've now got iPhones, iPads, tablets and abandoned their hardware. So I canibalised a machine and built a newone from scratch during the night. You know, a lot of cursing about too short wires, different screws to fix the thing ... it shortened my life by at least 5 days.
Then loading the OS plus everything that came with it. In the process I discovered that I had never backed-up the OUTLOOK.PST file since sometime 2013, but as the current one was OK, I again thanked the heavens for so much good luck.
Then, where's the license-key for the DNS-updater? Where is the DNS-updater? Where's the HELP-file?
OK, so we're at the point that the DNS-updater works, binkd is available for incoming mail. Outlook is fully configured and working again. And D'Bridge is functioning too.
Tuesday's DAILYLST was produced, also DAILYUTF and the daily ZONE2-file for the other ZCs. We'rfe back in business.
I guessed to be down for about 24hrs, it became 29.
