Windows Server 2003 needs reboot every so often
Our File & Print Server running Server 2003 SP2 every so often will not allow remote desktop sessions nor canone copy anything to it, unless arebootis done. The server will be ok for while until the next time the same problem appears and areboot is required. Any ideas what could be causing or what to look for.ThanksKenneth.

Hi Kenneth, Could you please check if there is any anti-virus software on that problematic server? Based on our experience, it is reported that some anti-virus applications, such as Symantec Endpoint Protection,may affect the file sharing function and its performance. If we install Symantec Endpoint Protection as the Anti-Virus software on the Windows Server 2003 file server, this may decrease the performance of the file server. If yes, please visit the following Symantec Web site: Windows Servers stop accepting network connections with Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0 installed http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/ent-security.nsf/docid/2007102613484948 NOTE: This response contains a reference to a third party World Wide Web site.
