> that's like every sysadmin's nightmare. Not worst case scenario, but it definitely was up there. I'll always remember it, both because nothing you normally had access for would work because no access, and my contingencies really paid off. I had just come off a project fully automating configuration and deployment for our more common infrastructure components; auditing and meeting various security baselines. Its nice seeing hard work you had just finished and tested in action working better than you thought. Most of our time spent was ensuring all relevant data was migrated from the sprawl of endpoints to a central fileshare with integrity intact with no malware. Entrypoint turned out to be one of the employees using a dropbox file-share. The previous admin had been directed to allow it by a person in upper management on a one-time basis for WFH. Their home PC had been infected and spread laterally. It was a brief blank stare/mental facepalm moment finding that out. Ultimately everything was back up and running, We made recommendations; and their IT wrapped everything else up.
