Re: SBS 2003 R2 Shutdown Problem

Trend can be an issue, if you're running it. But there are machines seeing this with no trend on them. I'd suggest using shutdown command scripts that first shutdown Exchange, then shutdown the server. I wrote some a while back and they're posted on Susan Bradley's blog for everyone to use. And they seem to solve the problem on those machines that have shown it in the past. But it means you have to change habits and always use them - if you forget and auto-reboot from the GUI the scripts can't help you.

We have a SBS 2003 R2 Server that appears to hang on shutdown. I left it for
over 24hours (over the weekend) and it had not shutdown. After 10 minutes or
so the screen goes blank and thats it. You have to manually power off the
server and restart it. As we are running mirrored raid the Intel matrix
system then forces a rebuild of the array. This seems to corrupt the access
2000 database that we use for our main system. When users first log back in
they can open the database but shortly after any users who open the database
get a repair required errror.

What I would like to know is does anyone have any ideas about what might be
causing the problem and if not is there any log files or any other method of
tracking what processes are happening (or not as the case may be) when the
system is trying to shutdown or restart.

Cheers
Dave
