Been up all night because of the outage Crowdstrike caused on our windows servers, looks like it’s taken down windows machines worldwide and caused pure chaos. Hopefully you guys aren’t going through it like I am 
At least I can use my MacBook, a lot of our PC’s are just bootlooping

How are your servers pointed toward crowdstrike? As a proxy? This is my ignorance on the service.Been up all night because of the outage Crowdstrike caused on our windows servers, looks like it’s taken down windows machines worldwide and caused pure chaos.

That should be the new 701, right? Professor Messer on YT is what I’d recommend for a good starting point.

Had to read up a few articles. lol.
Heads have to roll. Mad SLAs broken. Their reputation going to take a beating. Working in defense, only seen the McAfee ( or whatever it’s called now), windows defender or Tanium. Seen the McAfee easily take down services due to errant configuration policies.

Our IT director already told us we aren’t renewing with Crowdstrike after this, I can’t imagine we are the only company that are leaving them

BM#2 whole *** company is down, worldwide. And their solution is to individually whenever the issue is fixed, call every user or have them call in and give them the bitlocker recovery password then have them run some command prompts: lol NORMAL USERS! I hear her calls, 90% of them can't even read off their computer name. I told her Id quitBeen up all night because of the outage Crowdstrike caused on our windows servers, looks like it’s taken down windows machines worldwide and caused pure chaos.

They're fully remote but have offices, Id send everyone to the office to reconnect to the domain, IDK. I dont know enough about it but sounds miserable

Anybody else stuck on a call this morning?
Would have been really nice if the Crowdstrike issue had bricked Teams too.

I work in a healthcare environment but thankfully my department has our own sub domain and my boss fixed our issues earlier this morning. For those using Epic it's been a nightmare for the IT folks I hear though. Can't even imagine having to walk a user over the phone boot to safe mode and run some commands + delete a file.

Thankfully we were able to push updates to our AWS Windows servers and bring them back online. Took a few hours but at least our business is back online
The users/employees is a completely different story and I feel horrible for the Sys Admins. Overwhelming majority of our company uses Windows laptops and they are all locked out. Walking a 55 year old HR rep through safe mode and putting in her bitlocker code sounds like a nightmare…..

Thought it was common sense to never push out an update on a Friday

literally quit worthy or taking all my pto, never mind fully remote places that have a multitude of workers who English isn't their first language . I need overtime, hazard pay, per diem, bonus on top of bonus, comp time, a company car, and still no.
and you likely have to give them the break in case of real Emergency local admin password over the phone too because the laptop aint connected to the network so none of your sys admin tools or active directory admin group user ids will work to delete that .sys file.
