This guy starts the configuration of some new servers then leaves in the middle. "Leaves" as in "leaves the company entirely". So the script does not work, and erases configurations instead. Luckly, the erasing happens after a daily backup.
So I had to fix this... But i was in the middle of 1400 other things, and the quickest way was to add another script to fix the mess created with a scrtipt with another script. So there came to be another script that restores the backups and aligns it.
So there's a big customer, an important company on a national scale, whose machines erase each other's configurations every day, and then the same machines restore each other every day. All within a daily maintenance window.
That thing has been working for a suprising number of months now.
I really don't want to touch it ever again
