Oh dear, technology can be a pain...

We had a bit of a disaster in the office this past weekend. There was a power outage which resulted in all kinds of disruption but by far the most significant was the loss of our Active Directory Server. I won't bore you with techy speak for why that's really bad news but to cut a long story short, we now need to re-create the user accounts (usernames & passwords) for all the people in our organization, re-create all the e-mail groups, network permissions for shared resources and the user profiles that people are using to store their settings.

It's amazing how much we depend on a computer system every day and when it fails nobody can do ANY WORK whatsoever!

Crazy.
