Craziness, I say.
So Friday evening I get a call from a very, very small client that is
break/fix. It seems that the phone system was having issues and she had
someone from her church come out and check out the system . But now the
network is down and the PCs aren't connecting to the internet. She
doesn't really know why it is, but the church friend has her trying to
login to one of the three workstation because he says the problem can be
fixed from that PC. I tell her that makes no sense and asks if she
wants me to come out. She says Monday morning is fine.
I show up Monday and the SBS server doing DNS and DHCP and AD has a BIOS
password set on it and isn't booting into windows. I open it up, change
jumpers and erase the password. Everything up now.
No one has any idea how a BIOS password was set. Her church friend did
tell her she should contact ATT and get a new DSL modem because the new
ones will increase speed by several times and the yellowing of the
plastic enclosures of the AVAYA cards means her cards are going bad.
She claims the closet with SBS is always locked, but I don't think it
has ever been locked when I was there.
Happy Monday, all.
