Title: IIS stopping without reason

Forgot about that one! Good eye Jeff!

Until that machine actually goes live, port 80 is blocked to outside traffic (and I am toying with the idea of not using port 80 when it goes live anyways), besides the Index Server service is disabled. Not patched (not my choice, people higher up make decisions I can't argue with) doesn't mean totally abandonned. I update the McAfee virus scan definition list whenever a new comes out, I have GroupShield running on Exchange (updated just as lovingly), I ran three all-files virus checks, on top of the on-access scan, since having this problem, I've rebooted twice (which should have taken care of Code Red if it had been an issue) and I've also ran the Code Red scanner, all to no avail.

It is not a mission-critical unit (yet) as it runs only the users' default home page when they start IE though it was supposed to go live in a week as the IIS for OWA. On to the problem... All IIS services (NNTP, FTP, HTTP) are stopped. I click on one of them at random and hit Start. Nothing happens. I click Start again after a few seconds. The service in question will start and function normally, however anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes later, it'll stop again. There is no message in the log file other than a notice in the Security log that the IIS account logged in and out at start/stop. Besides IIS, that box is running Win NT 4 SP6a Server (no patch) and Exchange 5.5 SP1 (no patch) and it acts as the BDC. I've roamed through the Microsoft KB (not easy, what keywords do you use to describe this when there's no message in the log) to no avail. Anyone out there with a suggestion ?
