Mysterious shutdown/reboot

[SharedNews]

I have a 2003 server sp2 that for the past 2 weeks has rebooted itself every
thursday at about 2:15 pm. Nothing in event logs except the previous
system shutdown was unexpected. This server is not facing internet and has
Symantec NAV up to date, ran malicious spyware detector and rootkit revealer
and nothing looks malicious. Is there a more detailed log that might help?
My next step is going to be turn off the automatic reboot on failure to see
if a BSOD pops up and to phyically watch it at the given time.
We do have a UPS that has the replace battery light on- so I tried removing
that also.

Any other ideas welcome

Carl

Hi Carl:

In my experience, problems of this kind " unexpected shutdown" are related
to the UPS or a electrical problem. I would sugges to connect directely de
server to the power supply and disable or uninstall the UPS software.

Let us know how it goes..

Well, I disabled the APC UPS service, disconnected the power from the UPS
and so far it hasnt shutdown- at least not at the usual time.
