If the server isn't even responding to an IP ping then I would guess you have something going on that is causing the system to lose connectivity. &nbsp;If it only happens at night, then I'd suspect the most likely causes are either backups or virus scanning.

I am running a Windows Web Server 2008 (64bit) amd IIS 6.0. Every night around the same time, out event logs fill up with these warnings from Event ID 5010: &quot;A process serving application pool XXX failed to respond to a ping.&quot;<br />
<br />
We have a 24/7 Monitor on the web server and the server also does not respond to ping requests at the same time as these warning are showing up in the Event viewer. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Any idea what is causing this and how to resolve it? Thanks

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.
