Hi,

I have my intranet website configured with IIS 5.0 on Windows 2000 server with service Pack 2.
The problem with it is that the IIS service stops in between and i need torestart it everytime.This happens atleast twice a day.

Kindly suggest what can be done to avoid it.
Need ur informative suggestions at the earliest.

Regards

What kind of messages show up in event viewer when the site stops?

Hi,

There is no peculiar message in the event viewer just that the iis service is stopping.

How about the IIS logs themselves have you looked at them to see if there is anything strange about the Time IIS stops? Have you considered applying Service Pack 3? You can set the service recovery to restart the service on failure, but I think you are better off finding the cause of the problem.

Seen this before. It were hacking-attempts.

Windows Update solved the problem for now, but the hackers will find another hole......

Maybe you should consider upgrading to SP3
