Spent a little more time on this and now see that the server was originally configured with the drives on the highest IDs on the scsi backup plane. Any additional drives pickup lower IDs and the card attempts to boot from these. I'm going to have to break the mirror, move the drives down the backplane and recreate the mirror. A little worried about

Hi, We have a customer who has a hotswappable back plane supported by an Adaptec 2010s Raid Controller. They wish to add additional disks but it doesn't seem to be possible with that controller. It is a Zero Channel card so when I plug in an extra disk the existing mirror is immediately unbootable. We have sourced a 2310 which will do the job but of

Still waiting for memory but I've been chatting to a tech support agent at the manufacturer. He claims to have seen similar issues after 'bum' installations of SP1 for SBS. He advises uninstalling SP1 and reinstalling. I am going to try this on a test server first but would like to hear of any pitfalls, advice or procedures. Thanks, Joe

On every install we have configured 'Automatically detect connection state' is the default. We have setup hundreds of clients using outlook rpc http and have never had to change the connection state. I'm not an authority but I would be very surprised if it wasn't the default. Have you ever had a dial-up that could have changed this? Not sure why the

Thanks again guys, We are going to replace and increase the memory on the server. The issue is that we do see very similar problems on other hardware with AMD processors and mainboards. We are installing only Intel now and have done so for the last six months, but that doesn't help with the older servers we maintain. Of course we don't see any of these

Hi Guys, Tried both your ideas and the server is still unhappy. A couple of new "features" have presented themselves now on this server. CALs disappear In Task Manager the processes are no longer listed on the processes tab and the performance details are no longer on the performance tab. A weekly reboot stops the server from crashing but I'd rather

David, the procedure worked a treat. Earlier I attempted an install with the AV services disabled but that didn't help. Time to look at the second server now. Thanks, Joe

David, Will give Mark's procedure a go over the weekend. Your comment on AV has got us thinking as all three servers were installed over a couple of month around 12months ago. It is quite possible that the engineer who did the installation has used the same av package/version. Time to investigate. Thanks again. Joe

David, Attempted the net stop exifs as you suggested but the service could not be stopped. Microsoft Windows [Version 5.2.3790] (C) Copyright 1985-2003 Microsoft Corp. C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>net stop exifs The following services are dependent on the EXIFS service. Stopping the EXIFS service will also stop these services. Microsoft

David, Thank you for looking into this problem. It has been troubling us for sometime now. We are at a loss as to why these three servers are doing this. All three were built by the same engineer during a three month period last summer and he is no longer with the company. What ever information you require I will post. Thanks, Joe
