Hi all,
The title pretty much says it all. I'm looking for some ideas and opinions.
Recentlly started supporting a company with HP Ploliant ML310. Server has SBS SP1 applied and is fully patched and up to date. The server has an issue whereby it reboots at the same time every week (occationally misses a week but then will do it the week after). This happens at the same time (within a few seconds) each time. This week however it was an hour later than normal- then I realised that the clocks went back last weekend and so essentially it's the same time.
I've run many AntiVirus, Malware and Rootkit scanners and found nothing. I thought possibly a problem with some hardware but I really can't see that being the problem given the fact it happens at exactly the same time.
Considered the possibility that SBCore service may think there's another SBS server in the infrastructure but nothing in the event logs indicate that.
The logs show the problem started in December last year (I've only been working with this company a few weeks) Spoke to the company that own the system and they can't think of anything that changed in the system or on their network back then. As I said the reboots happen at the same time on the same day however, looking ta the logs, there has been the occasional deviation from the routine.
Last thing. I work on the system remotely so I'm not sure if the system is rebooting gracefully or just shutting off and then restarting. The event ID for the error is 6008 (Source= Eventlog; Description= The previous system shutdown at <time> on <date> was unexpected.)
Anyone any ideas? Anything would be good to give a new angle to look at.
Really last thing. DCDIAG and NETDIAG both run fine- no fails.
Cheers all
