Re: Windows SBServer 2003-based domain controller restarts hourly

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I have also spoken to someone since I posted this question, who suggested
that the Netgear DG834 router could be conflicting with the server (DHCP is
switched off on the router) - could this be a possibility?

If you ignore the warning does the Server restart? Did you do a complete

The problem appears to be documented here

and the solution appears to be documented here

There are no other servers in the domain, though in the past the network
has
been connected via VPN to a network containing another SBS server, this
still
happens from time to time but the problem occurs when the VPN is
disconnected.

I must confess that I am a little out of my depth here, but it seems to
me
that I need to seize all five FSMO roles using ntdsutil.exe. If I do this
and
it is not the solution, can I 'break' anything? Any help / suggestions
would
be gratefully received. Thanks.
