Last couple three times I tried to get Deneb (the Windows Home Server) to do updates, it came back and told me it couldn't do so right now. If the problem persists, please reboot the server.
So I did, and it didn't help. Then it occurred to me that I hadn't updated the DNS settings for Deneb, so it was still trying to use the DNS's in New Jersey that don't exist any longer.
Why didn't it tell me that it was having problems contacting the DNS? Wouldn't that have been a more specific, and more helpful, error message than just "It don't woik. Try later."?
UPDATE: Of course, this doesn't rate compared to the all-time greatest useless error message, from the original PC BIOS:
"Keyboard not found. Press F1 to continue."

Enclose all spoilers in spoiler tags:

Spoilers which are not properly tagged will be ruthlessly deleted on sight.
Also, I hate unsolicited suggestions and advice. (Even when you think you're being funny.)
At Chizumatic, we take pride in being incomplete, incorrect, inconsistent, and unfair. We do all of them deliberately.
