Re: SBS 2003 R2 Shutdown Problem

Many thanks for everyones comments.

What is Trend ?

The other thing I forgot to mention is that just before christmas we added a
win 2003 std R2 server to run terminal services. The sbs2003 server is
configured as the license server.

I have only just noticed that reboot or shutdown does not work as we have
not had to reboot the machine until now.

Now that's a good idea! I like it. Thanks, KJ. I'm such a die-hard
command line guy that I honestly haven't gotten nailed by forgetting.
But I've known enough others who have, certainly.

Besides us old dogs who, even with an icon on the desktop would forget from
time to time, the UPS system shutdowns, software addons /installs (less
often an issue on SBS) windows updates, and about anything else besides a
blue screen will run the shutdown script.



The other thing I would do if I had a Trend environment is to do a
similar script for Trend as I have done for Exchange. Manually
shutting down Trend before you begin the restart. And call that
script after the exchange, I suspect, though I'd have to experiment.

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.

Old dog Exchange guys were always forgeting... until it was too
late. If you create a group policy object - computer shutdown script
(linked to the domain controllers OU) then you need not worry about
forgeting - it'll just run for you ! (DCs that don't happen to have
Exchange Services work fine with your script and other similar ones)

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
