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!

Windows 2003 Server Application Error (explorer.exe)

Asked by Kelly_W in Windows 2003 Server

Tags: Windows 2003 Server

Hello all,
This is a very strange problem but rather long, so please bear with me.
This is on a NEW server 2003 R2 terminal server with all the latest patches.  By new I mean one week old.  And no, it does not have any viruses or maleware.  I have run both types of scans and everything reports clean.
What is happening is that whenever anyone with admin rights logs in through RDP/terminal server We get the following in succession in the event viewer:

First:
Source:  Application Error
Category:  (100)
Event ID:  1000
Description:  Faulting application explorer.exe, version 6.0.3790.3959, faulting module kernel32.dll, version 5.2.3790.4480, fault address 0x0000bef7.  

Second:
Source:  DrWatson
Category:  None
Event ID:  4097
Description:  The application, C:\WINDOWS\Explorer.EXE, generated an application error  The error occurred on <date> @ <time>  The exception generated was 800000001 at address 77EF4BEF7 (kernel32! RaiseException)

Third:
Source:  Winlogon
Category:  None
Event ID:  1002
Description:  The shell stopped unexpectedly and Explorer.exe was restarted.

These come up within three seconds from the first to the third message.  The user has to click on Close button on two different Windows Explorer error boxes.  After these messages go past, everything seems fine.  I am very leery of letting this one slide by, I am just wondering if it is a sign of some bigger problem.

By the way, every night I have a program that will automatically reboot this server and logon with an admin equivalent user and I get these errors not only on the console but also whenever an admin equivalent user logs on through terminal services.

This is a production server so I cannot up and reboot anything during the day.  It has to be done after hours.

Thank you,
Kelly W.
