Members rog951 Posted November 19, 2007 Members Share Posted November 19, 2007 Damn dude, that sucks! This is why I prefer engineering to IT (slightly). If the server takes a dump on Thanksgiving, you're gonna be at the office while I'm eating a turkey leg and watchin football! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MattACaster Posted November 19, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 19, 2007 So what happened? Did you get it fixed? If so, what did you do? Not fixed yet. It's gone down 4 more times since I last posted. Our domain controller is a Windows 2K3 machine running inside of our IBM iSeries. The theory floating around is that we are getting noise on one of our old Twinax lines that our terminal run on out in the shop and that is shutting the Windows server down. However, I just disconnected that controller and the damn thing shut down again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you know how to fix the problem?? I can't be that difficult, right?"...and then you punch him in the face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
