We have two brand new Win 2003 VMWare instances that serve as our Midtier servers. We are running version 6.3 Patch 21 of both Midtier and AR server. These were brought up in January, one for our Production environment and one for our Development environment. Back in April, our Production servers IIS configuration became corrupt. It would not start back up. In the event logs, we saw that it was a slow degradation starting a 7-10 days prior, where it began having to restart IIS. After that period, IIS would no longer start up and our users got the error of Service Unavailable. We swapped our Dev server into Prod, and rebuilt the old Prod server into the new Dev server. Another 6 weeks go by and the new Prod Server had the same issue, completely shutting down on Memorial day. So we swapped out the servers again, taking the Dev server and making it the Prod server. I have a gut feeling that we will see this again. The previous servers were running Windows 2000, and ran flawlessly for 5 years. We are tentatively upgrading later this year, but I really do not want to go through this exercise every 6 weeks until we finally have them upgraded.
Has anyone seen this kind of behavior?
