FTFY.

It really would have been a good idea to ban Notepad.Maybe there will be a reduction in Chinese productivity?

But I'm guessing that a text editor that doesn't support Chinese characters is of limited interest to most Chinese people.

Having a 90 minute power outage. (Back on at 0010hrs) Booting the computer, doing the updates waiting for a reboot since last week, that I had been putting off due to win10 always renumbering devices.

What happens?

It worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nothing was renumbered. It all fired up fine. (That I have noticed.)

I think that was the longest power cut for decades living here, including the earthquakes (Where we had none!)

Shame my UPS System is only set up for an hour running time.

(I do have a laptop and SDR setup if required)

Didn't fire up the generator given the hour.

(Wonder how many people around here will be late to get up?

Pleasant surprise for a Win10 boot / update :-)

neb:Write down everything, and I mean everything about the situation that you remember: Where you were sitting, what you were wearing, any music you had on, position of things in the room, what you had for dinner, etc. If you've found a combination for which a Windows 10 update didn't cause any damage then you need to let others know so they can get that experience as well.

B*gger, couldn't see where the moon was due to the overcast conditions. Suppose I'll have to resort to sky charts for that critical piece of the puzzle.

Good thought by you. I knew there had to be a non-Microsoft answer!

I'm smiling again.

 

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the sole labelled cable has the wrong label, it was recycled from use elsewhere.

 It's correctly labeled - Switch #1 Port #22.  But cable is connected Port #21.   

Someone prob unplugged the cable (or more likely tripped over it ;)) then reconnected it to a different port.

The pic shows four marked patch cables, two of them written in black vivid going to a printer and workstation.   

Devices connected: 1 DVR, 2 Cisco routers, 2 Cisco switches, 4 AP's, 2 servers, 3 workstations, 3 POS, 2 printers, 1 generic switch, 1 generic router, 2 ETP's, 2 BT jackpoints, 19 CCTV's and a partridge in a pear tree.

Blue cables to every one. None labelled except for the 4 shown above.

I'm tasked with cleaning the whole mess up.

Edit: I smiled as I took the 1st shot below. Yes it's water, main office.

Question I read elsewhere on the interweb:

"Is Kim Jong Un-conscious?"

Enjoying holidays in France pairing strict German hygiene measures with fresh French seafood platters ... be assured we don't take any preventable risk. We don't use ANY public transportation and it's funny to wear protective masks in between totally careless people but - their decision.
