Reminds me of a place I was in for a short while. It was a smallish company, retailer with 20 or 30 shops around the country and a smallish head office with about 10 "I.T. Guys", of which I was one. We'd been having an issue with an air con unit in the primary server room (which housed pretty much everything that the company needed to work - Exchange, SAP, web site, etc). So a guy comes out to fix it, a member of the I.T. "operations" team brings him into the server room and about 30 seconds later, everything goes down. Every machine in the building loses network connectivity.Cue people running in and out of the server room, scratching their heads and panicking, while the rest of the office went to get coffee and bitch about "a whole morning's work, gone".Turns out it was the just the network switches which went down, so when they came back up, very little was lost, and only Exchange needed a reboot. The WTF is that the member of our I.T. team went into the room, couldn't locate the Air Con unit, so he went over to one of the four UPSes (with a big "UPS" written on it), assumed that it must be the air con ('cause it was huge), lifted up the plastic casing protecting the "Emergency Shut Off" big red button, and pressed it. Officially, the air con repair guy was blamed.Of course, things like this happened all the time there. One day a developer was working on an older server that wasn't being used for much except his stuff, so he walks into the server room, presses a power switch on a server, before the wailing and gnashing of teeth started outside. Apparently that was his method for rebooting a machine. And of course, he chose the wrong server, despite them being very clearly labelled.At least they changed the code on the server room door after that.
