windows hell, originally uploaded by photo_obscura.

today, i had an installer coming from dell to put two new servers and a storage unit in and configure our os and sql servers in a cluster. the hardware install went quickly, but the software install and configuration took a bit longer than anticipated.

we had a problem getting domain account permissions set up as our controller was allowing the accounts to be added, but the new servers weren't seeing the domain in computer manager. i was pulling my hair out by the end of the night and finally just pulled my directory server out of the rack and put in a spare, configured it and went home (after a 13 hour day).

they are coming back tomorrow to finish the install and i have a lot of anxiety about whether i configured AD correctly so we can get this working. i guess we will just have to wait and see.
