Scheduled tasks?

Is this a DC? What kind of apps are running on it?

We stripped down the services running to only the essentials and this has solved it. Next weekend we'll allow ancillary services to run 1 by 1 until we find the problematic service. <br />

Thanks for the input and working the thread.<br />

Strange server problem HP Proliant ML350 G4 running SBS 2003 R2:<br />
<br />
Every day at 6:37am and 6:37pm the server locks up and freezes and you have to reboot two times for it to come back online. &nbsp; The first reboot puts you into applying computer settings.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Hardware diagnosis is clean, I have run full virus and spyware scans, have all unneeded services stopped and was on the server when it locked today but it just froze.<br />
<br />
No AV scan, backup or house cleaning running at those times. Anyone seen this? &nbsp;

Server Freezing every 12 hours on the minute.

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.

Microsoft Server OS

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.

Server Hardware

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
