Re: Errors in Directory Service Event Viewer



Hi

If this "just " started out the blue it might be worth doing some hardware
diags before anything else - check HDD with manufacturer utils , RAM etc ,as
a couple of those event point to h/w issues

If its not h/w when/what happened or dont you know.....?

Did you get all the way thru that massive "user action" list - user action!..
it should say users job for next 24 hours

Good luck

Regards
