2003 Server fix required, Error 4016
I have a 2003 SBS Premium server which every 2-3 days cuts off users network access.
Upon going through the MMC I find a 4016 error just before it dies.
I havnt made any changes to the server for months so I doubt it's a configuration error.
Any ideas?

The server went for a snooze for a while.
Does it create an output file?

As I said it pretty much crashed the server after I clicked the run diags button

Ok.
I ran the file.
It doesnt say if anything fixed nor does it indicate an output file?
I am suspicious if it executed correctly.

I have 1 Nic installed and am using the following setting
IP 192.168.0.1
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.160.0.100 (thats out router
DNS
Primary 192.168.0.1 (thats the server itself)
any other ideas?
I Did notice that I have less than 10 gigs of free space on the 320 gigs of hd space.
Maybe its failing on shadow copy???

Only events that happen afterwards ie mail down etc.
I did change the forwarders last night for the DNS.
Lets see if that works

Do you have any good links for re-installing the DNS?
And how long does it take?

yeah bt how do you reinstall the DNS?

I think I know how all this started.
We signed up for a DSL plan using a different network... Different IP addresses DNS etc.
Happened within a week of handing in out application form for the ISP.
ISP said they hadnt made any changes .. I find it odd that my DNS has been ok for 3.5 years and then collapses

in 24 hours if its stilll up then I will post points.
It seems that it was the DNS forwarder that was the issue which I think changed with the ISP (different network but same ISP).

and it's down again.
I had 2-3 good days and then it died with a 4016 error this morning.
I think it needs the DNS reinstalled tonight.

These are the event errors that I get as per below:
The DNS server timed out attempting an Active Directory service operation on ---. Check Active Directory to see that it is functioning properly. The event data contains the error.
Interesting to note that I dont always get an error when the server fails

ok.
The DNS is re-installed... Interesting to note that a lot of machines were sharing the same Ip addresses as others which were logged on at the same time???
So I deleted the zones
So im waiting to see what happens now

I looked at this suggestion earlier.
I think it's a DNS issue . I have a standalone server and do not replicate though.
Are you suggesting to still remove my DNS entries?
Then delete my system32/dns folder
Then uninstall and reinstall my DNS?
My CPU useage is only around 2%
