Left our place (school district) under a cloud, within a week the historical grades for all of our High School students disappeared in a puff of virtual smoke. Backups were consulted and were found to have last been completed 9 months earlier. Anti Virus software was found to have been subscribed to on a site license basis and left uninstalled for 18 months, a full license audit found massive discrepancies in the licenses held and the number of installations. All in all, a big mess, hardware wise it was just as bad, took the replacement nearly 2 years to figure it all out and get it into a fairly decent working state.
