Autoupdates are enabled, however there is nothing to update, 2000 server is EOL

hmm. ok, just a thought. happened to me a few times until i installed a windows update server locally and disabled auto updates.

Did you use Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) ? I have used it on larger deployments but find it diffcult to keep up with.

It wouldn't be. It's a technet/resource kit tool.

net statistics server will give you uptime on pretty much any windows box.

When I was at a large company, there was a novell server that had a 4+ year uptime.

We also couldn't find the damn thing. (A fairly large company which had certain networking aspects run by a corporate entity so we couldnt get a port address from a switch arp listing or anything.

Agreed about right tool, right job. I do windows & linux. For some things I like 1, for another the other.


For a file & print services though I don't think Novell netware stil has yet to be beat.
