I've just had a similar thing with an SBS 2008 box, and discovered the Raid drives had issues. After replacing one drive the rebuild stuck at 99.83% and after that every 6-8 hours the network cards stopped and the system just froze. Now the box is virtual and running fine since.
So just a thought ... Mike From: Andrew S.

Those would be my preliminary guesses. For permissions manipulation, use FileACL (http://www.gbordier.com/gbtools/fileacl29.htm) OR SetACL (http://helgeklein.com/setacl/feature-set/) ASB http://XeeMe.com/AndrewBaker Harnessing the Advantages of Technology for the SMB market...

I have to reboot it (force power off) to get it to respond again. The server is fine for a day or two when I reboot it, I can access it normally, then access to the file system (this is a vanilla file server) becomes slower, and I never get fully logon once the slowness starts. The server has been in production a few years. After the reboot I don't see anything in the event logs to indicate any issues like I'd expect. There are probably firmware and driver updates available, so I'm going to start there. Anything else? I might just destroy and rebuild it. The file system has some pretty complicated perms, so what are your favorite utilities to backup/restore permissions (other than backup software).
