Are you using 2003 server?  All my 2000 server are set for the default "Take
no Action" on the recovery tab.

Just a heads up...
You all have heard on the RPC exploit that effects Win NT/2000/XP/2003.

We just got a taste of it in our Italy office...and it is BAD!  VERY BAD.


Win XP / 2000 / 2003

You will notice that the DEFAULT recover setting for the RPC service is to
(Drum-Roll)
RESTART the server after 1 minute.

Guess what, it does.   
Server restarts every couple of minutes. 

WOW.

Take it from me... PATCH EVERYTHING NOW.   Yes.  Everything.

More Details.
