Re: Server stops responding occasionally

sounds like whatever is causing Websense to start to fail is also affecting remote admin. My guess would be a memory leak of some kind or maybe you need firmware updates that type of thing on the server.

Hello,

We are experiencing an odd issue with one of our Windows 2003 servers. This server is running Websense web-filtering for our organization. However, it "crashes" a lot in that the users start complaining about getting filtering errors almost once every week. When I try to Remote Desktop into the server, it prompts for domain credentials. Once I click Log in, it just stops responding at that point. All I see is a gray screen. I have checked with Websense and they have never heard of any such issues caused by their product. I have also checked event logs and can't find anything significant. The server just doesn't come back to life until manually rebooted. Can anyone provide and help as to what or where to look for any possible errors etc.??

Please and thanks
