Microsoft takes a dump on my weekend
-
I'm finalizing a migration from Exchange 2013 to Office 365. Part of this means updating a DNS record to point at Microsoft's servers.
OK, easy enough. So I do a remote connection to my domain controller, and run the DNS Manager.
What a lovely surprise! All of the records in my zone are gone, except for two!

@Captain this is exactly why I try very hard to never do anything of any consequence on a Friday.

I didn't do anything of any consequence... DNS Manager did. It took a dump on my DNS records, and now I have to fix them before I go.

@Captain only because you told it to run.

Never tell Micro$soft software to run. That's just asking for it.

Even if this was Microsoft's fault, and I highly doubt that, where the fuck is your backups? Just do a restore.

Absofuckinlutely. My last place had thousands of SaaS servers for a variety of customers and it took us a while to realise that a mandatory change freeze on every Friday was a sensible thing.
Even aside from the people who are slated to be on-call, you'll get far more volunteers to help out when the shit hits the fan on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday night - way less volunteers on a Friday night!More important - all the other teams work skeleton shifts at the weekend so the chances of getting meaningful insight are marginal.
No changes on a Friday!

Idiot.
I'll now read the rest of the thread.

Stop it with the victim blaming.

You don't like what I've become. You're trying to change me back to your preconceived notion of what you THINK I should be. You can't "restore" me, because I am who I am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our contractually mandated change window is Friday night.

Presumably because none of the people signing the contract have to work during them, or handle the aftermath.

I guess they're happy with stuff being broken over the weekend. For some businesses that's actually OK. (I could get away with it with many of our centre's internal services; they don't work over the weekend for safety reasons. Lab policy.)

Alternatively, just add back all the DNS records for servers and send a mail asked everyone to reboot due to a change in domain wide settings.
Computers joined domain should be able to register their DNS records on boot.
