Hello all,
We have around 200 Win2K Pro. desktops installed on our campus. The erratic behavior was first brought to our attention last fall, and then it re-appeared again earlier this year, and for the third time this past week.
The erratic behavior,
1. Spontaneous reboots. The user can be in any application and the system will simply restart.
2. Losing mapped network drives.
Next, the reason I mentioned the specific times is because, it was then that the campus, faculty, staff and students machines were hit hard by viruses. Blaster in the fall, MyDoom at the start of this year and this week, Bagel and Netsky.
When we have infected computers on our network, Win2K pcs exhibit the above behaviors. These erratic pcs *are not* infected with the virus. When we do finally eradicate the virus from our internal network, these pcs are stable again.
Anyone have any ideas as to what's going on and what it is that we could do?
TIA
Chelvan.
