You might also want to download, install and run a scan with the SBS 2003
BPA to see if it can find any problems with your configuration:

Thanks for your help!

I did check the obvious including free drive space and RAM, a quick look
for any obvious hardware issues and a malware scan.

I will def go check everything on eventid.net and cross my fingers.

The driver issue, is that because a client machine has the driver and the
server does not? If so is it worth installing it on the server? It only
seems to happen when I connect via remote desktop or VPN?

Thanks

That driver is nothing to worry about.

How much space free on your C: drive? Have you deleted old temp files
off the C: and run a defrag. Low idle time could be the server is
spending too much time search for fragmented files.

Those other errors you can probably work through to decide if they are
critical or not.

www.eventid.net is where I go when warning events concern me.

Hi guys, thanks for taking a look see @ my nightmare!

I have had SBS running for about a year but now im getting all these
errors
croping up in the log and im a little concerned! I suspect a re-install
is
going to be required but just in case one of you guru's has an idea
please
take l look at the logs below.

I have looked at the Microsoft support pages for these and really dont
fancy
editing config files directly!

In the event the thing is boned how do I backup (file shares, public
folders
etc) to guarante restore will work, last time it point blank refused to
use
the backups.

Recent history involves adding a security certificate and we have had
issues
with our service provider messing up the configs of our router so OWA RWW
and VPN all stopped working due to port forwards being removed, they are
fixed now and would somethinglike that cause the errors below?

I have had (for a while) warnings about low idle time on C: drive and
processes consuming high amounts of RAM but again can they be related?
Also
events in the log complaining about print drivers not being known, I
think
this is because some clients have printers installed on them that are not
installed on the server, should they be installed on the server too?

Regardless of all the errors everything does appear to be working?

Any and all help will be seriously appreciated!

Server name is replaced with "****" in the logs below

Thanks :-)
