PROBLEMS:Well, win2k is an alrenative, more or less
« on: September 14, 2010, 03:07:05 PM »
I have 2 win2k servers at work, one compaq and one dell, different ages about a year apart, both > 5 years old
.
For some reason, one or both at times will reboot, leaving no entries in event viewer, save that on reboot, both will register "error 6008: The previous shutdown was unexpected..."
It's as if someone yanked the power cords and they restarted.

Was told it was power related, but there is a third server (NT) on the *same* power circuit that NEVER crashes. Put one of the servers on a battery backup - still happening at random, no visible cause/indication/rhyme or reason...

Did noticed that twice I rebooted the switches and hubs we have here (3Coms) , and the server that is the dhcp and dns server rebooted as soon as I powered the switches back up.

Any ideas? This is getting a bit aggravating.

Thanks in advance.
