Spoke too soon, just about when I posted the above outage the the network switch went postal.
Fortunately there was a hot spare but there was some time wasted at the DC trying to diagnose the fault before repatching.
Fingers crossed I'm not jinxing it again...
Kind Regards

Well first attempt at an in place server operating system upgrade didn't go smoothly, error in the script, easy to do when the script itself is a 150kb plain text file.
Restored the snapshot taken a couple of minutes before upgrading so back to original, oh well, try again after I've sifted through the script.

Ah, ha. So that is why the site kept going dead on me this morning. I figured I was banned for being a bad boy.

I did say it would just happen, no point in saying in a post site down for maintenance as it would be down
But for now a lot of reading through a script to do

Over the next few days we will be attempting the upgrade again so if the site looks down just try again later as there is no point posting we're doing it now as it would be down
