Well. Let me give you some background on this fellow. He was charged with automating the Windows Updates for the app and DB servers. There were critical on-prem SharePoint servers in the mix. A raft of new tools were employed, most open-sourced. There was Chocolatey, React, Jenkins, Yarn, and more. The fellow worked by himself until done. The process was tested and then deployed. Right off the bat, there were glitches, particularly with the SharePoint servers. Somehow, one got corrupted in the attempts to reapply failed patches. The standard SharePoint updating processes failed after that. MS support spent a couple of weeks, and the issue got worse. An infrastructure team member suggested a tweak and got the server back up, but it was shaky at best. All future patching for this box was frozen. With a bit of egg on the fellow face, the hotshot developer decided to quit. The support team then had to deal with technology they did not know. They had to support something that didn’t really work. Eventually, all his code was pulled from the servers, and an OOTB solution was put in.
Now, can you determine how many project dimensions it failed on?ullamcorper mattis, pulvinar dapibus leo.
