I'm perplexed. I have a small network running Windows 2003 standard edition
server.
For about a week now I have serveral services that are normally started
automatically are stopping intermitently. When these services stop (IE
Workstation) all my users lose access to everything outside of their local
machine (printers, network drives, etc. - basically everything the
workstation is there to support). I've reviewed the event logs and the
primary event that is logged when users lose their network connections is the
following:
Source: Service Control Manager
Event ID: 7032
Description: The Service Control Manager tried to take a corrective action
(Restart the service) after the unexpected termination of the Windows
Management Instrumentation service, but this action failed with the following
error:
An instance of the service is already running.
-end
This message is recorded in the event viewer, but I also notice other
services have stopped that isn't always recorded in the event viewer. These
services include the following (not limited to): Routing and REmote Access,
Secondary Logon, Task Scheduler, Windows Audio, Wireless Configuration,
Workstation, Automatic Updates, Cryptographic Services, Computer Browser,
Help and Support.
Again, this happens intermittently. In addition, each service I mentioned
is set to Startup Automatically. Rebooting the server does not resolve the
issue. Each time this happens, I must restart the workstation service
(primarily to get folder redirection back for users accessing 'My documents.'
Thank you in advance for your help.
This is very weird.
