I have a DC running on 2000 server. Every time I go to the network
connections tab my computer stops responding. I have a feeling that the
machine might be infected with a virus.
Can some one tell me if they have come across this problem before.

Thank you
Raul

Hi,

You haven't by any chance PowerChute 6.x UPS software (APC) installed
on the computer?

If so, upgrade it to v7 or uninstall it and see if that helps.


PowerChute 6.x cases a lot of issues, much more than what is described
here:

PowerChute Business Edition - Customers Using 6.x Must Upgrade to 7.x
due to Java Runtime Environment expiration
http://nam-en.apc.com/cgi-bin/nam_en.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=7202


This is how you can disable the PowerChute service if you are unable to
uninstall it:

Start Regedit.exe

Locate the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\APCPBESERVER
Set the "Start" value to 4 (means disabled)

Locate the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\APCPBEAGENT
Set the "Start" value to 4 (means disabled)

Reboot the computer.

Thanks Torgeir, I just had the exact problem and you helped me to fix it. :)

I experienced this a few weeks ago with a SBS 2003 server, cured it, but
didn't think the problem extended to 2000 Server as well....

Many thanks
