@phenomlab Yes, exactly, but it is more tolerable since they are mainly carrying cargo…

@crazycells but there’s still the risk exposure with an unsupported operating system that will never be patched.

I guess this was inevitable

This was such a pain. We had to touch pretty much every computer in the hospital and clinics. It took them approximately three days to get back up to about 98% running again. That was crazy.

@Madchatthew I should imagine this was painful to say the least given your line of work.

Yes, a lot of units were using their downtime workflow. Surgery was priority to get back up and working and then going to the rest of the hospital and clinics from there. It was pretty awesome seeing IT and our department come together and work on getting the facilities back up and running. We had good leadership that was good at directing people on where to go next and such. Some of our other regions didn’t have quite as good direction as we did in our location.

@Madchatthew And were you itching to get your hands on the systems to fix them yourself?

@phenomlab I was. I was one of the ones they gave access to, to help fix the computers and get them back up and running. It was fun running around the floor again fixing computers. Reminded me of my IT days haha
