Re: SBS Hangs for 4 plus hours



I cannot reboot right now as it is in full poroduction, but from memory I am
sure that all ran correctly prior to the login screen. When I log in
remotely as 'me' (also with admin rights, the same lockup happens)

if I reboot the server and all 'seems' okay without loging in, obviously I
will not be able to monitor anything - catch22...

Currently I am logged in as Administrator and can browse sharepoint - we do
not use Exchange server although it is running - (which leads me to another
point - in the task list I have STORE.EXE running and taking up 138,492K of
memory - the CPU usage on the servr is really low as always - can I end that
process without adverse effect?) aslo can I stop all exchange server
processes and still use sharepoint.

if it turns out to be an admin rights issue what is the solution?

thanks

The back up never processed
