PerfMon is your friend for something like this. Load up some memory and CPU counters and start watching it. I'm guessing that one of those will start to creep up, and from there you should be able to narrow it down.

Nothing in the event logs...just the logs stop at a certain point. If I reboot the server on a regular basis (2 or 3 times per week) it's all good, but I hate to do that. I'd like to find out what's causing this problem. Any suggestions where to start since there appears to be nothing in the event logs? Server is Windows 2003 and is one of our DCs. ~ 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 ----------------------------------------- This message, and any attachments to it, may contain information that is privileged, confidential, and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
