Hello,
could anyone help me identifing cause for almost everydays server restart?
It's a HP blade server with W2K3 Server SP2. It's a file server where
Services for UNIX is installed and shares some data with NFS.

There's nothing in the eventlog before and after the restart what may be the
cause.
When i logon after the restart i could only see error message (serious
error...) and in the dump file there are some things like:

Unable to load image \WINDOWS\system32\ntkrnlpa.exe, Win32 error 0n2
*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for ntkrnlpa.exe

Unable to load image \??\C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\nfssvr.sys, Win32 error
0n2
*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for nfssvr.sys

BugCheck 1000007E, {c0000005, b89bb8ec, b9a43b14, b9a43810}
Probably caused by : nfssvr.sys ( nfssvr!IsCallerFileOwner+238 )

Thanks

Thanks for reply Mainolf,

I have already checked the dump file.

Here is the output of analyze:
SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (7e)
This is a very common bugcheck. Usually the exception address pinpoints
the driver/function that caused the problem. Always note this address
as well as the link date of the driver/image that contains this address.
Arguments:
Arg1: c0000005, The exception code that was not handled
Arg2: b873b8ec, The address that the exception occurred at
Arg3: b93c3b14, Exception Record Address
Arg4: b93c3810, Context Record Address

Seems there is something wrong with the NFS (Services for UNIX) but i have
the last version and all patches.
 
RE: 2003 Server restarts everyday - reason unknown

Do you have any other server software running on it, like Antivirus software?
I have SBS 2003 and put our antivirus server (Symatec CE) on it and it would
restart at least once a day. I even just put an antivirus client on it and
got the same results, so check out antivirus servers and clients. If
everyone around has antivirus, your server should be pretty clean unless you
casually browse with it.
