Euh, there where no updates from MS..., tomorrow is patch Tuesday. I always auto update workstations and since a year or so, also servers... I don't have the time anymore to do this al manually, and it's more secure, viruses and Trojans are very nasty these days...

I initially assumed there had been a power outage but then became aware that none of the clocks had suffered the same fate. It took a while to figure out what had happen but after checking the event log it was noted that a MS auto update had gone through on the server.... Yes, I know what you are going to say; "Never auto update on; and especially not server." There had been an auto update and the update affected the active directory and these effects rippled through to each station and each station was auto-rebooted. So never have MS auto-update on...
