When it has been planned and announced and I show up and someone says wait, my response is "sure, ill give you a couple of minutes to shut down" and that is it. As for management and in particular with the current state of weekly patches from MS, downtime is not an option, it is a necessity. Management may not like it, but they really have no choice. Feel free to point out the thousands of companies that had to shut down for days after Nimda to rebuild their network. Besides, this is not really something management needs to be involved in. Of course they don't like it, but they have no choice. It is a simple fact of life and everyone needs to get on board or get wrecked. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Chandrasekhar Varma Sent: Wednesday, October 10, 2001 7:38 PM To: MSWinNT Discussions Subject: Maintenance and planned downtime Hi, How do you guys rollout packages & fixes that require reboot. We normally do that in the weekend and send out a mail to the staff giving them a time frame in which their systems might be rebooted. But many a times we found people still working and asking us to wait. We are planning on talking to the management team convincing them to give us a dedicated a time when we can roll out packages / fixes, without sending a mail ( we would of course send a net send). Would this effect the downtime of the site. How do you calculate the site downtime? If we have to do that what other things can we use to drive across our point to the mgmt team. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks Chandrasekhar Varma This message is confidential and may also be legally privileged. If you are not the intended recipient, please notify us immediately.
