Hi,
does this happen also, if you logon locally to your server (or via Remote Desktop) and run the console from here?
there may be various causes, i.e.:
- a "mad" Add-In (try uninstalling the add ins - the latest installed first)
- faulty backup database files or limited disk space (check the event log on the server)
- authentication issues (which may caused by time difference or more than 5 minutes between client and server)
- other issues with the server
- issues with the network (or security software)
Best greetings from Germany
Olaf
