Well here is another doozy(sp?) for you windows gurus out there thats been kicking my ***
Ok I have a server running windows 2000 and has terminal services. (this is the same server from a previous thread about the TS memory errors, which has been mostly fixed) Anyways, at random times while users are in Office products the application will flat out hang. Requireing a Ctrl+Alt+Del to close remote desktop then signing back in and all is well. But the slowdowns happens a good deal, about 1-2 times per day per user with ~10 users. It gives no error, neither on screen nor in the event logs that I have seen, atleast none out of the ordinary. I've been turn MS site upside down trying to find answers for this. Found a reghack on MS site and a list of tips from a google search that I will try but Im not expecting much. Only gotten through about 75 pages from google so far so hopefully ill find something on this...
One thing that jsut hit me is that I have Office 2003 installed AND Access 2000 on the machine, which I have a sneaky suspician is causing some of the problems. On that note can I just buy the upgrade for access and fix that or should I buy the full blown isntall for Access 2003 and reinstall that piece? (access itself was not included with 2k3, I installed that component off a 2000 Pro disc because the software was needed).
Also these files that are in use when the lockup occours are from mapped drives(which map to the local server) local access by browsing the C drive, or documents found in the my documents folders of user's profiles. Also, this problem occours in Outlook as well so its for the entire Office suite. If office products are not running there is no problem but after a certain time things will hang on a per user basis (as in, seems the sessions hang) I'm currently trying to gather some time info to see if I can find a pattern but Im not holding my breath.
Any help or documents you might know of about this problem are greatly appreciated, Thanks
