HP Media Smart Server Shutting Down Automatically RRS feed

    Hey everyone,

    I have a media smart server from HP.  It seems like the unit shuts down by itself.  Sometimes in the middle of the back and sometimes just randomly.  Is there a setting or something I am missing that causes the unit to shut down by itself?

    I don't think it is overheating.  It is on the top of my desk with nothing around it for a couple of inches on all sides.

    Thanks

    Tony

    Hi,

    Is there anything showing in the logs which might indicate something?

    It's certainly not because of  'a setting',  so as this is a new unit, I would get in touch with HP unless someone else knows what it is.

    Have you checked the event log on the server?  Perhaps there's a message there that will be useful.

    You can connect to it using Remote Desktop (use the administrator account to log in), then view the event logs in the usual way. (Note: You'll see a warning when you connect via Remote Desktop. Take it to heart; there are things that you could do, some seeming very safe, that could damage the functionality of your server. Viewing event logs is safe, however.)

    I am just having the same problem after installing the Windows Search 4.0.  It was fine all along and now it it shutting down.  I can't see from the event log on why it is doing so.  Please help!

    I got nervous so I installed the 4.0 and installed the 3.01 for Windows Server 2003. 

    It seems to shutdown when i RDP into and log off.  Give it less than 5 minutes, then shutdown.

    One thing to mentioned is that the Server is balancing too.

    Let's see how the 3.01 install works.

    That did the trick for me.  My server stopped shutting down automatically. 

    So the install of the 3.01 Windows Desktop search fixed the problem for me.

    Where did you find the 3.01 version for Home Server? I can only find the Windows Server 2003 version and it won't install. I'm having the same problem.

    I got the regular 3.01 not just for the W2003 server
