Hi, At first, please make sure that your server is up-to-date. And could you please let me know when the issue occurred? I think Daves suggestion to verify the issue. At the same time, I suggest that you could download the server manager on your Windows Server 2003 to manage your server: Title: Server Manager (SrvMgr.exe) URL: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=8053 Regards, James James Xiong TechNet Community Support
