The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

How to tell what process / app causes outgoing login tries on 2003 server?

Asked by Kaptain1 in Networking Hardware Firewalls, Network Software Firewalls, Web Servers

Hey Experts!

Here's a mystery...

I got a W2003 Ent. server that's running a few apps (hotel booking system from web), a backup software, and a few other databases that are used on LAN.

Our web-master emailed me today saying that our server (lists our IP and server's computer name from his firewall logs) repeatedly tries to log-into his server (probably web or email, not sure) every day at around 7:20am and after failing to do so, stops the log-ins after about 20 minutes of trying. And he's wondering whether something's wrong with settings or if someone's trying to hack his server.

I looked all over at the server and can't find any programs that may be able to log in to his server for any reason.

I want to install some kind of an application that will tell me what service or what process / program is sending out traffic to his server.

Is there any other way to handle this?

Please advise.

Thanks in advance!
