All our servers and company laptops went down at pretty much the same time. Laptops have been bootlooping to blue screen of death. It’s all very exciting, personally, as someone not responsible for fixing it.
Apparently caused by a bad CrowdStrike update.
Edit: now being told we (who almost all generally work from home) need to come into the office Monday as they can only apply the fix in-person. We’ll see if that changes over the weekend…
Note this is easy enough to do if systems are booting or you dealing with a handful, but if you have hundreds of poorly managed systems, discard and do again.
Yeah I can only imagine trying to walk someone through an offsite system that got bitlocked because you need to get into safe-mode. reimage from scratch might just be a faster process. Assuming that your infrastructure is setup to do it automatically through network.
