Server 2000 not shutting down.

[brrymnvette]

I have to hold down the power button before my server will hust down. How can I figure out what is causing this? I looked in event viewer but didn't really see anything that would jump out at me. All of the BIOS and such are all current. It's a Dell Poweredge 2800 and I've used Open Manages to check all that stuff to make double sure I'm current. I haven't made any changes to the system at all. This just started happening like a month ago. I thought it was a fluke until I just had to do it again. The last time I clicked restart on my way out the door Friday and when I came in on Monday it was still at the "Windows is shutting down" screen. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Andy

run sfc /scannow from start | run. have your 2000 install disk ready. this will check the integrity of your system files.

Will this affect the daily activity of a program on this server? Will it bog down the app that is running and accessed by 60 machines right now?

Thanks,
Andy

if there is a file missing it will ask you for the cd so it can install it and it usually goes fast

Cool, I'll run it today or Monday. I didn't want to run it til I heard back. Thanks guys, Andy

Server 2000 Doesn't allow the computer to shut down using the power buttong because it is a "Server" (I don't think)

Yes, it does. You have to hold it in for 5 seconds.
