Pete's Log: Oh SharePoint

Entry #2321, (SharePoint, Work)
(posted when I was 44 years old.)

Today was another one of those fun SharePoint administration days where I spent too long trying to read logs and understand why something was failing, where instead I should have just ignored the logs and simply recreated the failing service:

Remove-SPDistributedCacheServiceInstance Add-SPDistributedCacheServiceInstance

After those two lines of PowerShell, everything was back to normal. Sigh.
