Any Ideas?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Hello--
I have recently converted .Net 1.1 Web App to 2.0. There are approx.
25 Users that use the Application some are Citrix-ing and VPN-ing from
a distance (many states away). The App is running on a Win2Ksp4
Server, and using a Sql Server 2K sp4 (and Reporting Services sp2).
This also means that our WebApp running on 2.0, will sometimes in a
dynamically generated link provide a link to a Reporting Services
report in the 1.1 framework.

Ever since the conversion we periodically enter a "Stuck" State ...

What we currently know about the "Stuck" state:
- If caught early it seems that non-WebServer Services are responsive.
- When Stuck, the system exhibits no CPU strain and no Memory problems
(at least initially, I have only been on the Server once in this
state).
- Over time (maybe 10 mins???), other Services start dropping.
- Eventually, all Services will freeze, and The Server becomes
completely unresponsive.
- The only way to get out of this State is a Hard Shutdown (using the
power button on that machine).
- The earliest indication that we are entering this state, open a new
browser to http://nw-app/nwintranet/ ... if it loading very slowly
(and never finishes)... It is Stuck.
- If caught early enough (under 10-15 mins???), a Shutdown command
will work from The Server .
- If caught too late (greater than 10-15 mins???), a Shutdown command
will not work.


This insidious state is entered and the event log really does not
consistently show a repeated error. Any Ideas about what and how to
best monitor this Server to get down to the nitty-gritty?

Regards,
--Rich
