What are the system brand and specs?
</div>


<div>
It's a Dell Poweredge r410, 16 GB ram, 250 GB hard disk, XEON x 2<br />
<br />
Is not acting as WSUS and the last update apply was a month ago.<br />
I could not see the performance or resource usage, I was unable to log into the system and was not letting me do any remote administration.

Hello,<br />
My domain controller hung up today. Even though the system was up, all services were unresponsive except for DNS (since it was responding to nslookup queries). I wanted to RDP into the box but it hung on &quot;connecting&quot;.<br />
After hard rebooting the box, I filtered through the event viewer but there are so many events that I got overwhelmed.<br />
<br />
Can someone help with any idea on where to start troubleshooting?<br />
<br />
By the way, my domain controller is a Windows 2008 R2.<br />
<br />
Thank you!
