Hi, I have a problem with a Server Running Windows 2000 Ad Srv [SP 3] Essentially the server will be running fine for around 3 hours - and then it will shutdown for no reason (full shutdown and power down).
Nobody is doing it remotley, there is no power problems in the room - nor any hardware problems.
I have eliminated DIMM problems - so it does seem to be something to do with the server software.
The Server is a Compaq ML 570 2.6 GB RAM x 4 Zeon processors running E2K SP 3.

what about the power options in control panel?

perhaps it is set to shutdown after a certain amount of time.

Sorry - should have explained, the weird thing is that there is nothing in the Event Logs, not even the usual "The last system shutdown was unexpected" - and get this when the system comes down it takes about 7 seconds to shutdown (which just does not happen with Exchange Servers - so i can only assume something is killing an important process).
