Granted, if the other options didn't work then doubtful this will... but another option in W2k3 or from an XP workstation

Is it a single-DC environment? If not, force a replication and bounce it -- shouldn't be a problem. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bahta, Nathaniel V CTR USAF NASIC/SCNA Sent: Wednesday, August 16, 2006 8:15 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] Process on DC stuck on stopping Hey all, I have used pskill.exe, procexp.exe, to try to get a the antivirus service on my dc to stop so I can restart it, but it is hung in the stopping state. 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.
