Hi Arpit,

Could you confirm the Operating system please. Windows 2003 doesn't have a Service Pack 2 yet, so you either have the wrong operating system or the wrong patch level.

If you already have SP1 installed you might want to try reinstalling it as a first step.

Hi Chris


This the error which i am getting.


"As per previous closed call 1521217 - we are getting recurring instances of server1 rebooting at 23:30 at night

(happened on Mon and Wed this week.)
The system event log shows slightly different series of events on either day, but it seems that winlogon (see below)

crashes, then the auditor service starts & stops every second until the shutdown.
What might be causing the winlogon error?

Thanks

I take it you've checked the machine for viruses?
Hi
Chris

We have installed the norton edition  on it and it is running fine and dont think that there is any virus on it as the virus is updated every day and is schedule to scan daily and in reports as well that there is no virus on the server.

Thanks
Arpit

There is also the possibilty that a virus attacking the operating system is causing the reboot - without actually causing infection.

A few versions / clones of MSBlast were known to cause this type of problem when attempting to connect to the target, instead of successfully connecting they would cause a reboot.

Does the server have a Firewall in front of it to protect it from the outside world?

And how are viruses monitored and controlled within the internal network?
hi
yeah we are having firewall and that is managed through equinoxsolutions and as we have norton antivirus corporate edition, and all the computers are scanned, so it is done through this only.

Could you possibly confirm the Operating system and patch level?
Operating system is 2003 server, SR 4

If that's really what it's reporting to be then you definately need to go back to RM Support.

You can have Windows 2003 SP1 or Windows 2000 SP4.

If it's 2000 SP4 then the patch you're attempting won't work because of a lack of Windows 2003.
