FREEZE NIGHTMARE
LockedWe have a continuous hanging situation with our computers.
We have 40 Windows 2000 identical clones (athlon 2.2, 512 RAM, 40GBHD). LAN OS is Windows Server 2003, Small Business. SQL and Exchange are running on the same server. Cabling is Cat 5e, and 2 24-ports Trendnet main swithches. Internet connection is a 512kb DSL, connected directly to one of the switches. I have followed all the precautions, update all the W2K stations with MS windows update, installed anti-spam utilities (MS Spyware and Spyboot), have Symantec Corporate Ed. at the server, updating daily, etc. etc. etc.
Sometimes, when one station is hanging at all times, I have exchanged hard disks with another similar PC, and solved the situation. Lately, I’m changing the boot to the lan mode at some PC’s, and login directly to the domain, instead of defining the users locally at W2K.
Please help!
