Virtual Machine "Undo" disks make "rebuilding" almost non-existant. It's
really worth the time and trouble to set up a Virtual Server test &
development environment plus being a valuable resource for supporting those
stubborn clients with pre-historic workstation operating systems.

Good practice. Wish I had a total test environment too. I have a "sort of"
test machine even though it's in production. If it goes down my enterprise
customers will not suffer, only I will. I can live with that, however.
Rebuilding my own stuff is not as pressure packed as having a CEO down
your throat.

FWIW, I set all servers in WSUS to download and notify. Then I watch the
windowsupdate groups for "issues" before approving and installing them
(manually) a week or so later. Also the virutal lab "test" machine is
usually the first to alert me to troubles before any real client
telephones.

Thanks for the credit. I hope he gets it fixed which is more important.
As for the fix, yes, nothing from microsoft yet. However, I had 2 SBS
servers and one Exchange enterprise server where the same thing was
happening. I stopped IIS and installed. All 3 servers are ok now. I have
since disabled automatic reboot of these machines. I'm contemplating
setting it to just notify of updates and not even download, forget about
reboot. Can't afford to have this happen again. Had to go onsite to get
access. Ugh.

It is apparently a wide spread issue with many but not all IIS servers.
There are a couple of suggested work-a-rounds, but nothing official
posted by MS that I've found.
Are you using WSUS or just configured the server to get updates from
Microsoft Update and Install them automatically?
(...and I think the KB posting credit belongs to "SBC")

OOps never mind, I see KJ included it, KB917537, also I have update
set to
install at exactly.....3am?!?!?!
-- I was baffled because this does not happen on the other SBS boxes I
have
up around the state. Although the history of them is different, IE
installation period, act.
Again I really appreciat the help. I will post a follow up to confirm
that
this fixed it.

Exchange is
just starting up before AD is ready to provide services.

Sounds to me like automatic updates are trying to install.
KB917537 is an
IIS update that on most systems will not install until you
manually stop
IIS admin and then install it. So if your system is set to
automatically
install then reboot, this will happen every night due to the
failure of
the above update.
So the thing to do is do a manual Microsoft Update today after
stopping
IIS first. Or uncheck install updates / reboot until you can do
it
manually.
That should do it. Why the DSAccess error, i'm not sure other
than to say
the system is not shutting down or restarting properly or there
is a
domain controller that the server can't contact because the same
thing is
happening to that one too.

I am running SBS 2003, with SP1
The daily report says the system has restarted and always at the
same
time
and always the sme error:
MSExchangeDSAccess 2102 7/12/2006 3:04 AM 1
Process MAD.EXE (PID=3128). All Domain Controller Servers in use
are not
responding: hansenhousesbs.CandDHServices.local For more
information,
click
http://www.microsoft.com/contentredirect.asp.
MSExchangeDSAccess 2104 7/12/2006 3:04 AM 1
Process STORE.EXE (PID=2296). All the DS Servers in domain are
not
responding. For more information, click
http://www.microsoft.com/contentredirect.asp.
Other than these restarts the system works great. I have looked
these
errors
up on MS site and they are not descriptive, or refer to Exchange
2000.
Please assist. I don't want this to continue or worsen. THis is
a fresh
install, been up for almost two months. This behavior just
started last
week.
No changes have been made.
