Everything Broke....

Well, my network that I built and have had up and running without too many issues, up and decided to break this week. I had my Exchange host, for some reason corupt itself. When I reloaded it the DNS refused to accept it as the Exchange host and computers couldn't resolve the Exchange services through Active Directory.

So, with this may concurrent failures I decided that I just had to rebuild from the ground up. Spent the bulk of this week reloading and rebuilding the environment. It's very handy to have good backups of the useful information. It allows you to do just about whatever you need to do maintenance wise without too much worry.

The one thing that does seem to be working almost all the time is the VPN. *knock on wood*
