Explorer.exe is pretty common, particularly if the server has been running a while. Generally caused by an app that eats memory.

Most people aren't in yet here to get good stats, but I noticed several of our servers that I patched last night had explorer.exe failures right before they were rebooted. The error report came up when logging on after the reboot, and it's in the application event log as a 1000 application error, followed by a 4097 DrWatson. Haven't noticed anything not running as usual this morning (except for the 3 servers that decided to have RDP not work after their reboot--same old problem that has been happening since July--see the previous thread if you care). Patched about 80 servers. -Bonnie -----Original Message----- From: Oliver Marshall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 24, 2008 3:52 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Out of Cycle Critical Windows Patch ? Chaps, The update that was sent out last night, has that caused any issues elsewhere? We've had a spate of calls from users about problems today, several servers which were set to auto-update for various reasons have had varying levels of failure. It's mentally busy here for a Friday, and the one thing they have in common is that all the machine rebooted for an update last night. Is it just us ?
