Thanks to all for the help. We have been up and running for a dozen days
without a crash on the DC. Solution seems to have been to place a parabolic
antenna on the wireless access point.
Ingenious... think someone here posted this or they sent me to a site with
this link. Whoever it was - double thanks.

The event log errors you're seeing are as a result of the server going down..
You have to resolve the stop error, one way or another.

I was able to get the crash with a machine inside the network:
CLIENT MACHINE SAYS:
The master browser has received a server announcement from the computer
MYDC
that believes that it is the master browser for the domain on transport
NetBT_Tcpip_{AE9618C6-E870-4AB3-AAA4-D6EDE7A1F0E4}. The master browser is
stopping or an election is being forced.

I'd suggest something wrong serverside.

The server restart log is at 7:16 for this particular crash:
The client says:
The system failed to register host (A) resource records (RRs) for
network
adapter
with settings:
Adapter Name : {7790AD42-FFC6-43CD-AF09-5F4275B39533}
Host Name : solsticedev
Primary Domain Suffix : terraatlas.local
DNS server list :
192.168.16.2
Sent update to server : <?>
IP Address(es) :
192.168.1.2
The reason the system could not register these RRs was because either
(a)
the DNS server does not support the DNS dynamic update protocol, or (b)
the
authoritative zone for the specified DNS domain name does not accept
dynamic
updates.
To register the DNS host (A) resource records using the specific DNS
domain
name and IP addresses for this adapter, contact your DNS server or
network
systems administrator.

http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
The server code is a bit less revealing:
The reason supplied by user TERRAATLAS\Administrator for the last
unexpected

I connect to the domain via a wireless access point - one job is to
develop
databases and frequently I move a large backup file from a laptop to
the
domain. Unfortunately, the connection is not always what it should
or
could
be and the SBS DC interprets the missing packets as a bad sector on
the
hard
disk, shuts down the domain... wow, so annoying! The simple
solution
is
to
never try to move a large file from the access point into the domain
but
that
is not a practical solution for this infrastructure.
Which is this. There is a WAP just over 50 feet away from my desk.
It
is
authenticated through IAS and SBS sees it like a machine on the
network.
The
IAS keeps just anyone from using it - anyone can login if they know
the
WAP
password, but it won't get them authenticated. That part is fine.
Since moving files conventionally seems to fail frequently I try to
use
the
ESE.DLL in conjunction with the ESEUTIL.EXE that comes with Exchange
and
then
pipe it:
eseutil /y "G:\BIGFILE" /d "\\dcserver\Users\myspace\BIGFILE.bak"
Neither this nor the file transfer method works. The minute the WAP
gets
fuzzy and some packets are lost, SBS says - aha, I lost the file -
must
be
my
hard disk so I am going to shut down and kaboom, down comes the
domain.
What can I do to fix the server so that it doesn't interpret the
file
transfers as a bad disk?
Yep, I have been doing this for about a year - I go back, run the
chkdsk
for
bad sectors on the mirror - nothing - the disks are fine. It is
essentially
something in the makeup of the way SBS is interpreting the file as
it
comes
across from the WAP.
If I didn't think it would raise hackles all over the place, I would
call
it
a bug. Think of a disgruntled employee on a WAP and you'll get the
picture.
