Going through our inventory I found a few machines that haven't been checked in for quite some time. In investigating I found that the Salt service wasn't running. I tried to restart and got this:
So I went to the event logs and got this:
So I went back to the service to check for the path:
and in Windows Explorer:
All appears to be right with the universe so why isn't the service starting?

Funny enough, I saw this setting for the first time in years just this morning! Yes, as B3D says, it's called "Always BCC Myself" and it had to have been selected manually by the exec in question.
Why do I find that not at all surprising that it would have to manually be set?
That's a good thing. It's a good setting, but you'd not want it for most people.
I submitted too fast and didn't finish my thought. I meant more so that it would be manually set and the exec wouldn't remember that he did it.

They would also use the concierge program to hand out bad support info. Then blame customers for using bad contact info. AFAIK the entire setup existed just as a way to avoid providing support.
Who would do that? Oh, wait

We had a corporate meeting yesterday and they keep suggesting that we move from our in house exchange system to O365. NO CHANCE IN HELL! For this exact reason.
on-prem exchange... no reason for it whatsoever...
I'm willing to bet it's not up to date.
It is up to date. Also, cost effective is the reason. 3 year life cycle comparison $6600 vs $500. Who would think that hosted/O365 is the better option, EVER!?
Oh, and my shit doesn't disappear randomly every time MS decides to make some jacked up change to its system.
How many users and how much data?
160 active users and right now about 1.2TB Licensed for 251 users.
Exchange 2016? Free hardware? Electricity? Maintenance? Free SW upgrades? Free CAL upgrades? Does it include the Office Suite or does nobody use Office and just use your on-prem Exchange OWA?
We NEVER had stuff disappear randomly, not sure what that's about, someone messing with their licensing maybe... we manage our own licensing though.
Yes, exchange 2016. Sure there is all those costs but we have servers for other things on campus (File servers, door locking system, etc) so that is already a purchased cost. The digital footprint from the 30TB SAN isn't anything. We buy Office 365 University at $80/4 year subscription for the Faculty and Staff. Students can buy it on their own. And what I use in electricity with a 3 server cluster and a SAN compared to what was used 6 years ago when I got here is chump change.

To be fair. We have done 100's of migrations and have LOTS of clients using it with little to no issues.
Not cost effective for us. We are a school but don't fall under the free to use. So the discount we get for being a 501c3 for licensing (Server, Exchange, CALs) is cheaper every 3 years than the recurring cost of licensing through O365.
Oh yeah that doesn't make any sense at all then.
Yea, it is like $500 or something like that for a 3 year life cycle compared to $2200/year for O365. Now even if you figure in the cost of Veeam, VM Hosts, SAN, etc it still doesn't justify the switch. Especially when things like this happen.
