Well, there is might be another way to catch the culprit...who did the rebooting... ..it might be a painful way, but it helps, i believe... It is so called :parts by parts troubleshooting:
First of all, what can be done is install all the hardwares only that you were told to.. *The below descriptions that you have given.. Here's the configuration: Hardware: Dell 2550 Dual PIII 1133 Mhz (BIOS v A05) 2 GB RAM PERC 3 PCI RAID Controller 4 72 GB Fujitsu Hard Drives Intel 8255x-based Integrated Fast Ethernet NIC DRAC-II card External PowerVault 128T LTO Tape Library connected via Adaptec AIC-7899 PCI SCSI card $$ Then, INstall only WIn2k Advanced Server with the latest Service Pack... ## Leave them alone in the server room... ## Make sure that no user able to get in to the server room to do funny thing(Malicious users) $$ Make sure no Terminal Services INstalled and is isolated from the production..] ## Lets see if there is any rebooting going on... IF at this stage , it does... well , we are able to know that the culprit is not on the softwares that you are about to install, instead the problem might be the Power Related issue or the hardwares ... Might turn out to be POWER Distribution System?? ELectricity Flikering?? IF at this point of stage, nothing happens, You can try to install the below softwares that you have sketched out for us(excluding Win2k server that have installed earlier) and with ONE AT A TIME by looking out of the possibilities on rebooting.. +to catch the culprit) Hope this helps although you got to do it one by one..installation.. No choice since can't determine at what stage that rebooting occurs or which are the main cause for this problem... Chers, Kenny Lee.
