And Then...

Dave just did something really stupid.

And I'm going to pay for it by calling one of our clients at 0630 when they get into work tomorrow and walk them through the fix.

Sometimes, I'm dumb. Especially around 10 at night.

Heh. Nice.

Myself, I was remoting into a client's server so I could perform an automated rebuild on their database, then reboot the server. Only, one other workstation in the office was on, and the software open on it, so the rebuild utility wouldn't run. Without remote access to the offending workstation, I couldn't kill the program, so I to figure out how to just isolate it.

When that failed I had the bright idea of isolating the server. By disabling its LAN connection.

Oops.

I remote desktop into my home machine every day to check e-mail, Quicken, etc., and have done variations of this before. It usually involves dicking around with my router's configuration.
