Damn you Microsoft!!!!

Yeah...this is all my fault...but it is so much easier to blame someone else than myself so here goes.

I was playing around with the GPO tool in the GPMC on my 2003 DC and *thought* I was only doing a preview...or whatever its called...of one of the canned Microsoft policies and accidentally applied it to my domain.

Whoopsie!!!

Now I have had to spend the last day or so ripping it back out and I have been pretty successful. My saving grace is that we are a TINY developement environment and that if it got TOO out of hand I could wipe out the domain and start from scratch and not really lose too much. Except for the Mac and linux integration...so I guess blowing away the domain isn't really an option as recreating all that would be a pain in the ass.

Moral of the story: Pay attention to what you are doing! Even if the chick from upstairs with the really nice rack comes by to visit.

So feel free to make fun of me....

YARGH!! I hate it when people speak in acronyms. WTF?

Adrian Cronauer: Excuse me, sir. Seeing as how the V.P. is such a V.I.P., shouldn't we keep the P.C. on the Q.T.? 'Cause if it leaks to the V.C. he could end up M.I.A., and then we'd all be put out in K.P.
