Hi,<br />
I am not certain it is Crypto'd because none of my users are indicating they are getting the screen popping up telling them to pay your ransom in BTC in order to unencrypt those files.<br />
<br />
Is there anything else it could be?<br />
<br />
What do I do next?<br />
<br />
I have ran malware scanners on the server and nothing has been found.<br />
<br />
thank you,

It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
