We recently upgraded from 3.7.7 to 3.11.11. This included initiating a tentacle upgrade from the Portal.
The install on one of the Tentacles seemed to have some issues with restarting the service. The installer then seemed to decide it should restart the system. I’ve included the relevant event log entries below. This is obviously a concern. We were just lucky that it wasn’t a live production server it happened on. Is there any way to prevent this from happening? Thanks.
