I'd stopped with VAX/VMS 21 years before. How old are you?

Started using VAX/VMS in college in January 1983... so, I've passed the half century mark.

I thought it was going to end badly at one point!

Well the MS security update for SQL Server works. No one can access the database now.
You cannot even start the service.
Well I need to get to work finding the fix for the update.

Ah! Finally, the perfectly secure system

So. MS have finally realised the potential of WOM1?

Quote: When the CU4 setup package runs on a SQL Server instance, the setup program creates a temporary mdf file to get a certificate using the SQL Server instance’s default database directory. The setup program tries to save this temporary file in this directory. In this case, the directory “E:\SQLServer\Data” for the SQL Server instance didn’t exist causing the CU4 setup program to fail the installation.
I’m not really sure why the SQL Server default directory was set to “E:\SQLServer\Data”; however, to fix the problem I created the directory “E:\SQLServer\Data” and restarted the server. After rebooting it, all SQL Server services were running properly and I was able to log into Microsoft Management Studio without a problem using my domain account.
To make sure this issue didn’t occur again, I modified the database default directory to an existing directory. I logged into SSMS and right clicked on the instance name to get to the properties option. Under the “Database Setting” option, I changed the “Database default locations” data and log values (see Figure 2) and used “C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Data” as the default directory.
Maybe this happened to you too?

Well, the reason Bill Gates tried to shave a couple seconds off of the boot time of Windows, claiming this would save the world countless thousands of man-hours each year, is because he wanted, out of the generosity of his heart, to compensate us for the countless thousands of man-hours wasted each year fixing the latest MS update breakage.

This is the Lounge. Don't bring "tasteful" into the conversation.

Don't Worry about it.
