Hi guys,

One of my servers has gone a little **** up... I THINK it's rebooted itself and not all of the services have started up properly (can't say for sure).

All I know is Exchange / RDP aren't running at present.

Tried logging in via vnc and it says there aren't enough resources to log on.

Also tried the remote restart tool with no luck.

Any ideas?
 
I can ping the box and telnet to exchange/spam filter but that's about it.

I'll be able to restart it manually on Monday morning but as it's our Exchange box i'd rather get it up and sorted before then :)
 
Nope, I already stated the restart tool doesn't work, plus it won't even log me in with VNC so I doubt it's going to let me run/start any other services (probably the reason they aren't started, because they can't).

It gives me this error btw;

"Not enough server storage is available to process this command". Strange...

*Does some googling*.
 
Neither I'm afraid, get the same error when trying to remote manage.

Maybe i'll just have to reboot it myself on Monday morning.
 
To be honest any command I see to be chucking at it gives me ""Not enough server storage is available to process this command".

I've also used the shutdown command with the /f too thanks for the post though!

I tried shutting down some services with psservice as well with no luck (same error).

Looks like it's dead good and proper! :)

Get out of your seat, go to the server, troubleshoot from there.

What part of "Maybe i'll just have to reboot it myself on Monday morning." did you not get? :p

Unfortunately I don't have access to my work building during the weekends, only reason I'm so keen to get it back up as it hosts webmail which people are obviously using over the weekend!

FYI if you're already connected to the server at the login screen via VNC (i.e. can see the login screen GUI), this suggests the VNC server was loaded fine / is capturing updates fine, meaning that the error about resources when you attempt to logon is related to the Windows system itself, not VNC.

Yes, I stated this :)

RDP etc... hadn't come up. I didn't for one minute think it was a VNC issue.

Restarted it manually and she's all fine again.
