Because you did it the wrong way round! DISM first, to have a good image to compare against THEN run sfc to compare your system to that image

This kind of outage could have been prevented if we just centralized everything HARDER.
/s, right?
SMTP is about as simple as it can get. There’s no good reason for mail delivery to be affected. It should still be moving emails around even if you can’t access them.
But MS has extended SMTP so hard they have no idea how it works anymore or how to properly troubleshoot it.
I would assume they've broken their DNS servers or some other similarly low-level infrastructure to the point where something just isn't resolving behind the scenes anymore.

Why don't they just ~~ask Copilot~~ tell the agents to fix it?? Oh, they did?

Just rollback to the last known good backups...
They do have backups, don't they?!
Who disabled shadow copy??? No restore points either????
The technicians who haven't been fired yet are probably waving a green papier-mache progress bar in front of their bosses' faces whilst insisting they're looking for a solution
Time to just FFR
(FDISK Format Reinstall, the old way to fix Microsoft problems)
Just switch it off, wait a few seconds, then switch it on again. It's not hard.
Linksys sure did make pretty routers. Those WRT54Gs were iconic
You have to run it in the clou...
So glad I wasn’t working today.
Depending on your job it could mean a pretty light workload.
I woke up to alert messages from my company. Logging in now to see how little work I have to do this morning 🤗
5 emails instead of 100+, this last weekday is smiling upon me.
Sadly my Teams seems to be working intermittently, and I can access the documents I need to read on SharePoint, so not a complete write off. Still, no emails, and especially no Jira notifications is a blessing.
I shut everything down and went to touch some grass. I'll just tell everyone next week that I couldn't log in ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Seeing Teams online was a let down for sure. I'm not sure how the company would communicate without it. Would have been hilarious.
My conspiracy theory was this this was a deliberate attempt to force users to actually start using Teams instead of email.
The problem with this ploy is that even email that doesn’t work is more useful than Teams.
Hahaha it seems to be working, Teams here is abuzz!
I got a text message from Microsoft at 2am

Maybe they tried to move stuff from Linux onto windows servers or they’re running defrag.
