I have Windows 2000 installed with clients having Win98-
XP. Almost every morning the clients cannot connect to my
drive share to the server. You can ping the server from
the client, the server also authenticates the client to
log in, but I cannot access the share. It tells me it is
not accessible. I have traced it down to the SERVER
service. I can restart the service and all goes well.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
 
You don't even have to go that far,..this can be set right in the properties
of the Service on the "Recovery Tab".
 
I've done tried that and it won't let you set recovery
options for the Server service because it runs in the same
process as the Service Control Manager. Also, the service
does not stop when the problem occurs. It is still
running but not working properly. Any other suggestions?

you could set a script to restart the service every morning at a certain
time...but this is only a temporary fix..... use

the "AT" command to
schedule
a script to run (but you'll have to write a batch file/script)

Thanks I will probably use this workaround for now. I had
the system to Automatically reboot every day, but I
believe I prefer your fix although I'll have to stop and
restart the dependent services as well.

**I would still like to know why this happens if anyone
has a clue.

Thanks.

1. write a batch file that contains, call it SvrRstrt.bat:
net stop server
net start server
exit
2. At the command prompt, type:
AT \\computername
Click to expand...
01:00 /INTERACTIVE /EVERY:M,T,W,Th,F,S,Su "c:\SvrRstrt.bat"
Now, at 1am every day, the SvrRstrt.bat file will run... Problem solved :-)
