[THIN] Re: IMA Service stuck "stopping"

I found an article at Citrix about it getting hung when the perf monitors get 
out of whack.  I have a bunch of perfmon errors in the event logs.  Although 
the gist of the article is that it happens and not much else.

I'm already running SQL 7 on a Win2k server and everything is patched and up to 
date (including MDAC)

KILL command?  I don't have that one.

The odd thing is that eventually, the IMA service stops.  eventually as in four 
hours or so.

Greg,

We've been seeing the same thing going on here.  Doesn't appear to have any
rhyme or reason to it.  Best guess so far is that there are MDAC issues
between our Citrix servers and the old NT4, SQL 7 box that holds the
DataStore.  We're moving the DS to a Win2k / SQL2000 server this weekend to
see if that will clear up the issue.

As far as restarting the IMA service, the only way we've been able to do it
is to bounce the box, or kill the PID with the KILL command.
