Really random issue..wondering if anyone else has encountered it and/or knows a quick fix besides a complete restore from backup. Applied some windows server 2012 updates yesterday and restarted the backup DC. When it came back up it did a time warp to 2013. Profile folders are gone, installed programs (ie Quickbooks) are gone with the exception of a couple programs that were installed back in 2013, it is basically a freshly installed copy of Server 2012 with a really old copy of AD users/workstations/groups. So syncing is definitely an issue but that is a fairly easy fix. The bigger concern is all the program files / profile folders that were wiped. Restore from a backup is always a solution but what I am more interested in is what would cause such a thing? Seems like incredibly terrible behavior. |
