Did you say that a client machine has automatic updates going which kills the server or the server itself??? The other thing to check is power settings on the server's NIC. <--this can cause problems similar to the one you describe Lucas W.

Local Windows update messing up Citrix / Terminal Server Hi list, We have a Citrix farm in which occasionally one of the servers becomes inaccessible (KVM and network). The only thing to do is restart it with the On/Off switch. We've been researching this for months now (it only occurs about twice a month) but didn't find a solution. This week the issue occurred with only 4 users on the server (Published Desktop). I couldn't find anything in the RMS reports and I had a look at the ISA-logs (iexplore was present in the reports). About the time the issue occurred there was a occurrence of a Windows update connection. I resolved the IP-address and it turned out to be the local address of a client having an ICA connection with the server involved. Now the question is, cause I don't see any logic, could the local Windows Update be the reason the terminal server becomes inaccessible or am I on a wrong track?
