I had an issue where there was a bad USB hard drive plugged into the server for backup. &nbsp;When the server would try and access the drive it would freeze. &nbsp;I would try removing anything that is plugged into the server. &nbsp;Other thing to check is memory, you can find some memory utilities on the internet, but you would have to take the server down to run those. &nbsp;

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).

The Microsoft Server topic includes all of the legacy versions of the operating system, including the Windows NT 3.1, NT 3.5, NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 and Windows Home Server versions.
