Hi,

Did you determine cause of the failure on your machine? I have exact same message on W2K3 server this morning. The box has been stable for years.

Thanks,

Bob
Hi Bob!

Ya, my box was stable too.  I don't have a clear direction as to the real problem, but the back up tape drive failed a while ago and I thought that this hardware failure may have been part of the reason.  Antoher was the print server.  I kept getting messages asking for driver installations for printers not connected to the network.  I re3moved it as a print server and I disabled the taped drive hardware in the system.  So far I haven't had any issues within the past week, but I'm cautiously optimistic ... LOL!!!  I hope this helps :)
This really helped confirm some direction.
Hi,

Thank you for sharing your findings, if I find anything I think may be helpful I will post it for for you as well. My hunch is that the specific error code can be the result of many different casues, but I will share what I find.

Thanks!


Thanks Bob!!!!  Much appreciated
