Hello,
We are currently having troubles with one specific servers in our Backup jobs. This is a stand alone job that backs up basic files on a Server 2003 Enterprise server. We are using no Advanced Open File options or anything else.
The sequence of events before the shutdown is as follows:
The LiveUpdate service Starts, Runs, then shuts down, all in a minute timeframe.
Then the Volume Shadow Copy Service is sent a start control, and then runs.
After that the Microsoft Software Shadow Copy service starts, and then runs.
After that the server shuts down and hangs until you manually reboot it.
I haven't been able to receive much help on this. I have done all of the hardware test as well as ran defrags successfully, and checked the Hard drives for disk errors. Everything seems fine on the hardware level.
I have a feeling it is something with the Shadow Copy services, but I can't pinpoint anything.
Please any help?
