Mysterious shutdown/reboot

[Guest SharedNews]

I have a 2003 server sp2 that for the past 2 weeks has rebooted itself every

thursday at about 2:15 pm. Nothing in event logs except the previous

system shutdown was unexpected. This server is not facing internet and has

Symantec NAV up to date, ran malicious spyware detector and rootkit revealer

and nothing looks malicious. Is there a more detailed log that might help?

My next step is going to be turn off the automatic reboot on failure to see

if a BSOD pops up and to phyically watch it at the given time.

We do have a UPS that has the replace battery light on- so I tried removing

that also.

 

Any other ideas welcome

Hi Carl:

 

In my experience, problems of this kind " unexpected shutdown" are related

to the UPS or a electrical problem. I would sugges to connect directely de

server to the power supply and disable or uninstall the UPS software.

 

Let us know how it goes..

Well, I disabled the APC UPS service, disconnected the power from the UPS

and so far it hasnt shutdown- at least not at the usual time.
