We’ll be seeing more “accidents” like the one yesterday that bricked over 8000 PCs.

Maybe the RIF'd IT folks laid out a time bomb? Any way login as localadmin right click Computer, go to Manage, Services and applications, stop "Application Identity". Go to the properties for that service and disable it. Reboot and please STFU. no localadmin account? be on the LAN, call the HD and also STFU
None of you commenting must be in IT. It wasn't intentional. These kind of updates are pushed out all the time. The only issue I have is that it should have been tested before pushing it out. It was a fairly easy fix for those connected to the company network but for those on VPN not so much. As for automation being the savior of the company. Lay down the pipe.
What's the fix?
Things are getting better. Automation will Help move us forward. Finding those big new logo sales is key. IMO they allow to many sales reps to sit on accounts while they wait on free orders. Make excuses, but you know who you are.
It was a pretty invasive gpo edit for it not to be intentional. Unless they really did get rid of the best IT people we had. Which in that case they need to sack the lot of the IT management team from CIO down to staffmanager of the help desk. That kind of f--- up is unacceptable. If someone did something that stupid to the production network they and a few managers would be out the door. Totaly unacceptable action that can't be blamed on the monkeys banging the keys this has to be blamed on the clowns running the circus.
What exactly happened and who all was affected? And when you say "bricked" are you seriously saying that 8000 PCs are dead and are not recoverable or either will take a decent amount of time to fix?? Bc that is a sh1t ton!
Maybe they should have thought about that before laying off so many in IT
I am sure it was intentional but it is dumb as hell to do that. If you are caught, wouldn't there be legal fallout? Plus it just punishes us peons more than it does the executive. Nothing like being on a cut and your computer c-aps out.
