We have a 5 year old IBM Server with NT 4.0 SP6, 256 RAM = I received complaints of very slow network services so logged onto the server to check services. It was so slow I had only managed to scroll through 1\2 of the services after 10 minutes so gave up and rebooted the Server and things returned to normal.
** I reboot once a week [the last being 4 days ago]
** Diskkeeper [defrag software] was not running
** There were NO indications in the event logs of
anything wrong
** C:\ drive - currently 27% free space or 16%
according to Diskeeper
** d:\ drive - the majority of the pagefiles are here
and they are fragmented
This has never happened to my knowledge. The server has 'crashed' and rebooted itself 3 times in 5 years that I know of which is a reason I started rebooting once a week over a year ago - since then it has not crashed.
I need to know what this is a symptom of or whether it is kind of normal once in a while or whether I was just witnessing the beginning of a 'crash' or what.
I would greatly appreciate any clues.
Thank you
Ron
