Memory leaks. We were running ICVerify Network edition on there and apparently it leaks like a sieve, so we were rebooting it like every night. Now we just reboot a couple times a week, because ICVerify is still on there, but we dont use it anymore.

I checked and sure enough, she didn't have an IP address. I finally figured out that our DC which handles the DHCP leases, one DNS, etc was locked up. I couldn't even get a picture on the monitor. When I rebooted the machine and logged in I noticed that it stopped logging anything around 8:15 this morning, but there were no messages in the event log from around 8:15 until the system came back up after I power-cycled it this morning around 8:45, however, there were some interesting messages *after* the system came back up that I chalked up to just having recovered from a power-cycle event. Any ideas where to look for the problem? Unfortunately, we let maintenance lapse on the server. It's a Dell Poweredge 2900, if that matters any. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin -- Stefan Jafs ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
