I was in a hospital today and pretty much every computer shut themselves off to do windows updates.

The receptionists
The check in kiosks
The doctor's computer
The nurses computers
The checkouts in the cafeteria

All at different times too. It caused massive delays to basically everything. From what I hears Several of the systems failed to update too and tried to do it again when switched on or just stayed off. It was like this basically all day.

Whose fault is this? Windows? The IT department's? This was at one of the best hospitals in the country too.

The entire idea of a forced update is an ungodly, Indian concept

I thought enterprise versions of windows didn't update automatically unless an administrator kicked it off?

>>105633068 (OP)
I have the perfect solution to this problem!

I'll give you a hint:
If it was white people, it'd still be getting news coverage every day.

Microshit for filling the company with Indians.

>>105633334
lmao no it wouldn't. hospitals have always been lowkey shit-shows

>>105633068 (OP)
sounds like a shitty sysadmin

Jeets, but also your IT who allowed an update during the middle of the day like that, though they, too, may be jeets.

Tell me anon, what does a hospital computer need Windows for? What does Windows do what any other OS can't do?

>>105633718
Some of UK healthcare’s most basic infrastructure runs of MS access databases from the early 90s - no money for anything so cannot replace. Also need shit fixed instantly by if it fucks up, cannot tinkertranny for hours while people are dying.

>>105633718
Be easy for IT monkeys to fix in case it breaks

>>105633718
>What does Windows do what any other OS can't do?
Run old and terribly-designed software that only works on a specific version of XP.

By "easy" you mean, calling the hotline of the license provider?

>>105633794
Every country is like this, the FAA just said it'll take 4 years and billions of dollars to update their computers off floppy disks and windows 95.
Only took a few helicopter crashes and all of New Jersey being unable to fly.

>>105633817
What software exactly? Doctors I know here use a Citrix VM running at a provider.

>>105633068 (OP)
IT department not configuring their update policies properly.
If they had properly configured group policy to only restart outside of active hours and a WDS server on the corporate network that all the computers point to, with proper testing of updates before rollout, this wouldn’t happen.

>>105633794
Seems to have worked well in OPs case

>>105633875
Well that sounds it should be somebody's job to make sure that happens

>>105633827
a good commentary on modern society that helicopter crashes (jeopardising rich people) effect change while very large numbers of poor people dying due to shit hospital IT systems is merrily ignored

Middle management/finance fall for all the cloud salesmen bullshit so it makes IT’s job harder

>>105633884
Had it myself recently with 10 to 11 update, could use PC while most of the install happened and it politely asked me to restart and gave me time to finish my work. Actual downtime was about 10 minutes during which I took a shit.

>>105633862
Usually it's the software end of medical equipment that the hospital doesn't want to replace until it has to.

>>105633922
>restart
Linux usually doesn't even need to restart unless there's a Kernel update (only necessary in case of a security update in the Kernel which is absolutely rare). You normally just restart the services and programs that were updated. That's what unattended-upgrade does.

>>105633960
"Windows on medical equipment" already has a very scary sound to it. Equipment of several 10000 Dollars could easily come with a tailored OS.

Interface with proprietary technology like a MRI that costs 40 billion dollars with completely locked down firmware

And in these 40 billion Dollars was no room for a proper OS?

never trust microsofts automatic updates

The whole 45 year DOS/Windows dominance, the worst system option of its time, is proof enough for me, that this planet will never success.

>>105634236
Typical jeet reading comprehension on display.
The OP is about the global microsoft outage, from the perspective of someone in a hospital at the time, and asks who was at fault.
The outage was not limited to hospitals, and the OP never claimed that it was.

How is a whole shit-stained race of animals this fucking dumb?

>>105634326
Back there unix costed fortune and linux was a playground for few selected CS retards. Meanwhile windows had AUTOCAD and such engineering programs and it costed nickels.

>>105634343
Because DR-DOS, and other alternatives didn't exist, right?
Oh wait, it was sabotaged by the AARD code, because Microsoft knew that their version of DOS was shit.
Btw. We still use drive letters. A system that stems from DOS times when the main storage medium a floppy disk in drive A.

>>105634331
you fucking retarded poopjeet, go stir more shit into your curry

>>105634399
Dr dos existed basically to lawsuit microsoft. Drive letters are based and obviously I know them because I actually used a: floppy drive.

>>105634331
The global outage is because of clueless retard IT workers (redundant) mindlessly pushing out updates, and claiming that it isn't getting news coverage at all is asinine. And yes, this kind of incompetence is common in hospitals, especially nonprofit ones.

Sounds like it was an IT fuckup. Someone seriously underpaid and undertrained is getting fired. Most of those guys are making 20-30 dollars an hour.

>>105634019
That sounds complicated and expensive. Shareholders won't be happy to hear that. How about we pay a bunch of students to write it on winXP and never update it because updating sounds expensive as well.

That's literally every medical equipment company for you.

>>105634443
The OP is not about any of that, you’ve tied a random tiktok thumbnail uploaded by the OP into being the premise of the story. The OP’s post is not about CrowdStrike and is instead about Windows updates.
Go cry into a bowl of masala you poopskinned ape.

>>105634437
>Dr dos existed basically to lawsuit microsoft.
DR-DOS is the original, it was copied (under license) by Microsoft. But the copy was more shit than the original. So Microsoft introduced the obfuscated AARD code to make their software crash when it wasn't running under MS-DOS and then they lied to the customers telling them, that the issue was the OS and not their software and that they should use MS-DOS because it was supposedly more stable.

>>105634437
Drive letters are based until you want to move your working directory to another resource. And then your shit software still needs gigabytes of cache under C because "that's how we always did it".
I rather have a mount point that I can flexibly put anywhere.

>>105634625
then use mountpoints in Windows dumbass

>>105634636
That no one supports.

>>105634644
They don’t need to support it, mount another volume as a directory on C:
for example, you can mount D:/Niggers as C:/ProgramData/FaggotAppCache and the application is nonethewiser

>>105634675
I have never seen a software doing that. People would rather buy a bigger C drive.

>>105634807
NTFS does. Pretty sure it uses reparse points to accomplish it. It should behave similar to symlinks unless M$ is nuts.

Ok I googled, it's reparse points. Honestly I hate drive letter volumes too, so I would probably use this.

Hospitals are notorious for having insanely shitty IT departments. The pay tends to be the worst in the tech industry and the management completely clueless about IT. Combine them together and you get the medical sector being staffed by those who can't get a IT job anywhere else.

>>105633224

No, OP's just being a turd.

>Hurr my hospital can't pay their I.T. department to get up at 2AM to push updates within 2-4 hour windows before morning shift gets up, and then sleep for the next two days to recover to normal office hours

>>105634280
how the FUCK is crowdstrike still around after that shit? How did they not get sued into oblivion?? Did anyone get fired??

shitty MSP

they probably farmed out the contract to ranjeet and friends in new delhi and they updated everything on local time which of course is during the business day for everyone in the hospital

>>105634926
Good to know. I may apply to work at my local hospital.

Managing a large MS network without setting AD policies and WSUS is just asking for shit like this to happen.

Out of hours aka when the hospital is least busy and routine procedures are not taking place, going department by department and maximum 50% of machines in a department at one time.

>>105637273
based on how dark it is outside those windows I'm assuming that's what happened. God damn /g/ is retarded today.

I'm an RN. Hospital IT and or SWE seem to be some of the worst and they get paid shit. All our computers are completely filled with bloatware. One hospital i worked at the IT department stored the password to our high speed VIP network (doctors) in plaintext.
