That would be a question to the experts. When I solved it, I was just
too tired to go after the cause of the issue. The customer didn't care
as well ;)
 
His hardware was cr@p indeed. Old, but never failed for any reason.
 
All I can tell is that I didn't apply W2k3 SP1 on the ISA Box (DC's
don't have it applied yet and the customer has some SP1-imcompatible
apps on them) and it has got Automatic Updates turned on.
 
Jim, why would that happen?

Hi Tiago,

Nice tip. Thanks!

What I would wonder is what created the initial problem. I'll bet a
quarter that some hardware is going to meet its maker soon.
