If kill.exe & pskill.exe don't work, I don't know what will. Is it a single-DC environment? If not, force a replication and bounce it -- shouldn't be a problem.

Does anybody know a good way that I can kill this process and start it again without causing a stack failure in the kernel? (already experienced that killing a thread a while ago). If anybody knows a good tool to use and possibly where it can be acquired from, I would appreciate it. Otherwise I will have to reboot the DC during downtime, but I don't like it not having protection for that period, I much rather bounce it now.
