This morning, one of my users (Windows Vista user, FWIW) called and said she
couldn't get online. I checked and sure enough, she didn't have an IP
address. I finally figured out that our DC which handles the DHCP leases,
one DNS, etc was locked up. I couldn't even get a picture on the monitor.
When I rebooted the machine and logged in I noticed that it stopped logging
anything around 8:15 this morning, but there were no messages in the event
log from around 8:15 until the system came back up after I power-cycled it
this morning around 8:45, however, there were some interesting messages
*after* the system came back up that I chalked up to just having recovered
from a power-cycle event.

Any ideas where to look for the problem? Unfortunately, we let maintenance
lapse on the server. It's a Dell Poweredge 2900, if that matters any.
