Word reaches the bunker that the ACT Government has had a spot of bother with it’s computers today, something about whole departments being unable to logon.

Anyone know anything?

I’m in private sector and had issues… today not yesterday.. stupid encryption garbage they rolled out to my laptop!

Apparently they’ve been on the market in Asia for some time.

As if anyone who cared didn’t have a pre-release

On the topic of Vista, it was funny to read in Australian IT that Harvey Norman had launch parties at midnight for Vista in a bunch of stores. At Chatswood one person turned up, and they were there to return a laptop. ROFL.

NERDS!!!

what is your SAN fabric running on ?

Many ACT websites were fooked over the last few days. “proxy returned an error” on all the act.gov.au sites I tried to visit.

Just another day in paradise for the likes of danman

Yeah it affected at my work as well. It explains why I triple posted in one of the other threads.

The SAN fabric (main data storage for most of ACTGOV) went down this morning. I work in desktops so i’m not sure what went wrong but i can say that it wasn’t Vista!

Plenty of them probably haven’t noticed the loss of service yet.

Ironic. My Fed. department also had some issues, but not the same, and at different times.
It was to do with faulty certificates in the KDC.

my gf has been offline since 10ish

ACTTAB interweb was broken last night for a while. Very unusual as the TABs probably have the best IT networks and backups in the country.

“All Staff DHCS

There are currently some server issues occuring at Callam Offices. This is effecting email, G, H, P and S drives. No further information is available at this time.” That was 10am – I’ve just gotten into outlook again now!

I can currently access inter and intranet, but not the shared drives/email etc.

Someone said “issues at callum” and I took their word for it.

Perhaps they upgraded to Vista? That would account for added crapness.
