I have a PDC (NT4 SP6) that has crashed 4 nights in a row in the middle of the night at close to the same time. The only thing out of the ordinary running on the server at the time is Diskeeper 5 defraging the system partition, but it starts at least 2 hours prior to the time the server has been crashing. I have a system event that is the last entry each time the server goes down.

Event ID: 4
Source: Otman4
Type: Information
User: N/A
Description: OTM closed

Does this mean anything toanyone? I have looked all through Technet and all over the Web searching for clues at to what this could be refering to, so I am hoping someone out there might have some insight. Thanks

Just because the Diskeeper program kick off two hours before your crash does not mean that it may not be the cause. Try disabling it and see how your server does. No clue either as to the "Otman 4" identity.

OTM is Object Transaction Monitor. This is new to me, as well. If this doesn't ring a bell to you let me know. I'm curious about the error myself.
