Hi! I've collected some errors I get trying to do several tasks on a 2008 R2 fileserver. (Opening Server Manager, Services, looking at file permissions, open the reg. editor...) I haven't tried a restart yet, because of the criticallity of the server Has anyone out there seen this problem? Freddy

open powershell and run the following: Get-WmiObject win32_service | Sort-Object State | select name, startmode, state Check the output to make sure you dont have any services that should be started, but are not , and that you dont have any services stuck in start/stop pending.
