I have a server that for some reason reset's itself every four or five days. It has a ten user license, with eight users and a server copy of filemaker pro. I have turned off the reboot on error and it still reboots. The system log complains about w32time, and I'll admit I havn't configured the dns properly, but would this cause the server to reboot? I will admit now that I'am more a Novell kind of guy, but any help would be very much appreciated.
 
Right click my computer, select properties. On the far left, startup and recovery. Uncheck Automatically Re-boot. Good luck. Glen A. Johnson

cheers Glen but I have already tried this, My next plan of action is to break the mirror and place one harddrive in a backup machine, does anyone foresee any problems in doing this?
 
I can't say for sure, but I'd say it's not going to be any worse than what your going through now. If it's a DC, make sure you run dcpromo first to remove it from the domain, otherwise your other dc's will keep looking for it, and removing a ghost dc is no easy task. Good luck. Glen A. Johnson
