I'm having a problem with my domain
controllers locking up certain services. Is
there any way for another program to
monitor the services and notify me when
they stop or are locked?

You could use a combination of the System Event Notification service (make sure is set to automatically run) and Alerter Service (same). Go to Control Panel, Server, Alerts, and put in the computer or username you want alert messages to be sent to.Anyway, this may not be a very reliable way. You can also do it with some scripting and a bunch of Resource Kit utilities.
We have been using for some time now IPSwitch What'sUp Monitor product with very good results. It is a network monitor, alerter and service monitor as well. You can define your NT services (quite easy!) and chose the way you want the program to react (it can try to restart the service and/or notify you by e-mail, net message, pager, telephone). It is a good tool to monitor your tcp/ip conectivity and also it has a database that you can use to pull out reports on network/server/service performances and uptime (graphics with peaks and lows, or pure numbers). www.ipswitch.com (you can download an fully functional evaluation version)
I hope this helps.
