Re: Reboot command no longer works in Task Scheduler

What errors are present in the system log at the time machine reboots? Do you have a handle on what process is memory leaking?

You can script it.

Fixing the memory leak and blue screen stop error makes the best sense to me.

Hi, for the system log - I've changed this to overwriting events older than 7
days already. So I am hoping this will fix the problem. However, I want to
find out if there is a free faciliy from Microsoft where I can request for an
email notification if a certain ID is triggered. Example, on my Exchange
Server event viewer log file, if there are IDs such as 8250, 8026, 2102, then
I would like a program to notify me via email. Is there such a facility?

The reason for this is that when the domain controller shuts down
unexpectedly, all domain servers are affected, the Exchange Server event
viewer log file generates these ID codes. So if these happens, an email
alert will enable me to respond quickly. Does this make sense?

Control Panel|Administrative Tools|Event Viewer|"file"|Action|Properties the
default is to overwrite events older than 7 days and max log file size of
512 kbytes. You can change to "Overwrite Events as needed"


"The shutdown has to work on each Saturday to refresh the server memory."

It would be better to locate and fix the leaking process.

Take a snapshot of Task Manager|Processes just after startup. Then check it
again later to see what process is ballooning. Also take a look at Task
Manager Processes|Mem Delta a consistently positive value usually indicates
a memory leak.

This tool may also help.
