The process works and shutsdown the server but the task is still listed in the task manager along with memory, handles, etc. still in use days later. Is there there a way to remove these tasks without resorting to another shutdown?

If you know the processes name, you can run a command called KILL on it. You may want to look into your NT book for more info on this, but it is simple to use:

KILL MyProceessName

I learned this one by using KILL *.*, which then killed every process on my server - Quite a site :)

I'll let you know how it goes here. I'm curious about the kill *.* you used...Did recycling the power bring up the servers smoothly? EEK!
