Hmm, I was going to say look at the switch, but then sense came back to me, and 
realised this is a TS server :)

I'd say try and grab something which will show you whats installed in IE.. If 
the TS sessions themselves are unaffected, and you can use the same proxy from 
another machine, then fingers are pointing at IE, or perhaps something 
interacting with it - could potentially be spyware? but it seems odd that its 
only at that time in the morning!

what happens after that time, or do you mean that it breaks at that time and 
stays broken til next reboot? and presumably it affects any user on the server 
at the time, ie another user logs in after its broken and its still broke?

The users get no error messages, the browser locks up, part way through
loading the internal intranet. I'm able to access pages OK through the proxy
from a standalone machine. I'm also able to access the terminal server OK
from my machine. The browser locks up for me as well though when I try and
open it. I've not tested ping, telnet etc., although I'll check those out
this coming Monday.

Another interesting fact with this fault is that the machine that is there
now was the replacement for another machine that was doing exactly the same
thing - between 7 and 8 on Monday Morning, it'd lock out the browser.

At that time in the morning, I've got maybe 5 users on the machine.

what errors do the users on the server get when they try and access the
internet? do they go through a proxy? can you try other internet apps (ping,
telnet, tracert, etc) ?

Hi,

Can anyone help me? I have a Windows 2000 Advanced Server with Terminal
Services where every Monday between 7am and 8am its preventing my users from
accessing the internet. A reboot seems to solve it once it's happened, but a
reboot an hour before (6am) doesn't stop it from happening.

Short of running Snort on the server and some form of keylogger to see what
all the users are doing (which I don't think they'd be happy about), I'm
stumped as to what I can do next.

Any suggestions?
