| 275679 | 2004-09-26 00:43:00 | Hello, Whenever I turn the server on, an RPC error window comes up and tells me it's shutting the server down. I stop it with the shutdown -a command, but then all the host services error and Windows generally starts complaining about something. I have installed both Data Centre 2003 and Standard 2003 with the same effect. Both on fresh installs. I took the hard drives out and scanned them in another machine for viruses with updated definitions, because the server also gives errors about how the installer service is unavailable. I am now also scanning it across the network - but in none of these scans have any viruses shown themselves... I can't use Windows update, it doesn't work for some reason... I think it's a virus - and unless all my install disks are virused then it must be on the machine. Infact, I scanned the install disks and got nothing! So does anyone have any suggestions? How do I stop this from happening? How do I fix it? What's the actual cause? |

Blaster? Have you install a firewall & see if that helps? |

| 275681 | 2004-09-26 01:01:00 | Was it updated before u got on the net? If it has access to the net. Has it got a firewall on it? Or was a firewall enabled? I take it one wasn't since it might be blaster, or sasser, that hit it. Have you tried the Sasser, or Blaster removal tool? To see if they'll detect/remove it?? |

| 275682 | 2004-09-26 01:02:00 | I thought it may be blaster, sasser, or another variant on those - but no antivirus picks them up... Furthermore, I can't install anything :@ |

| 275683 | 2004-09-26 01:02:00 | Also have you tried unplugging the computer which has 2003 server from the network/internet? | stu120404 (268) | ||

| 275685 | 2004-09-26 01:06:00 | Hmm sounds like whatever it is, it may have disabled admin rights. You could try the trend micro site and do a scan if it is online http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ With a firewall on if it has one. |

| 275686 | 2004-09-26 01:10:00 | Thanks everyone.... ... I just realised that I can't copy or paste... or open any network properties, or management console properties.. (i.e. event viewer...) |

| 275687 | 2004-09-26 01:21:00 | Neither blaster nor sasser came up. I also can't click and drag anything... or delete anything... ??!?!!?!?! |

| 275688 | 2004-09-26 01:24:00 | Does it bring up any errors when u try and delete? Like you dont have admin rights or something?? It DOES sound like something has disabled something / which affects the admin login / rights |
