Further info from the event logs
The problem happens about once a week. It starts in the DNS logs with ID
4015 Critical error in active directory. over about 1 hour, these entried
change to DNS ID 4004, then DNS ID 4000. Soon after, every user will loose
access.
There is also an entry in the System log
Services: SVR
ID 2019
The server was unable to allocate from the system nopaged pool because the
pool was empty.
I'd really appreciate help with this. What is the consensus about applying
the /3gb switch?
Regards
Nick
