Was IPMI useful in solving the CrowdStrike boondoggle?

  Since one of the solutions was to reboot "up to 15 times" I would imagine so.

  Yep, because on enterprise servers in a rack somewhere in a remote datacenters, IPMI is what allows admins to connect remotely, restart, and get a remote console to remove the offending files (or just keep restarting).

  I suppose it was useful only for a part of the problem, as most CrowdStroke™ machines were client and kiosk...
