Cracked Again, the Headache

Well, the network is back up, and all seems to be well ... except for one tiny problem: the bloody email server. The unique identifier for the Exchange server was lost in all the recreation of the network passwords and users. And just as promised, there is a unique one for each user, never to be regained if that user is deleted or the identifier is lost. So the server couldn't join the network, although everything was talking nicely. Solution (and yes we read the hacks): rebuild the server. Long process, which does not appear to have worked out as planned ... Good news is email queues nicely, so little seems to have been lost.

I hope the fact that you posted at 7.43 am doesn't mean you've been there all night.

No, but Sean was. Decided one person staring at computers was sufficient.
