Are you sure its actually freezing? Maybe your shell is just freaking out. Next time it happens try to connect to it with server manager on another machine and see if you can shutdown services gracefully. Cold boot when services are running makes me fear a DB corruption.
We had that happen here, and oddly enough the problem went away on its own. e- -----Original Message----- From: Tener, Richard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 09, 2002 6:58 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: exchange server freezes I have to switch it off -----Original Message----- From: Joyce, Louis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 09, 2002 9:38 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: exchange server freezes Do you have to physically switch it off or does it still allow you to choose shutdown and restart?

I was just wondering if I were to reappley SP6a would this prevent the problem. I havent installed or removed anything on this server for a long time. I checked the event viewer and I couldnt find anything that would cause the server to lockup over night. It is strange this ussually happens when no ones in the office and the backup is running. Maybe another solution would be to reinstall backup exec. Not sure any suggestions.
