w3wp process missing
Hello all,I need your help.From yesterday morning on our server (Win2003 std, exchange2003, sqlserver2000) our internal websites, hosted on IIS 6, are not available.No errors are indicated.I noticed that the w3wp process is not running.I tried (after restarting IIS, without problems) to launch it by command line.Nothing happens.I also tried the command w3wp -?, and nothing happens again (it doesn't show the help screen, I mean).The only thing that we recently did on the server is the antivirus change (from Symantec to Kaspersky): it was on last weekend.But it functioned correctly until yesterday.Nothing about this in Kaspersky logs, I also tried to rollback the antivirus definitions but nothing changed.I will be able to restart the server only monday morning, if this is necessary.Have you any ideas? What can I check?Thank you in advance!Alessandro
