Thanks... Again, since Vipre depends on SQL Express, I was afraid to do that, but I took a shot and it looks like I can disable that instance of SQL Express without affecting Vipre any. :-) So, it's disabled, and I told SQL Express not to start that database on O/S startup.

Good to know. Yeah... ICVerify is pretty small... it would work on a desktop, it just needs some shared space and really just needs a dedicated machine. Problem is that the machine it's on is our primary antivirus/DHCP/domain controller/file share/print server machine.... and to remove ICVerify, I'll probably have to reboot the darn thing a couple times...and I really don't want to do that. *sigh* Guess I'll have to, though...

If they decide they want it back, tell them that they need to dedicate a server to the app, or be forced with these kind of periodic disruptions in service and then install it accordingly when the time comes. Note: SQL Express uninstaller is pretty smart, hopefully you have multiple instances and it will uninstall the named instance you select.

Plus I'm also concerned that if I remove it, since it also uses SQL Express (or whatever Microsoft is calling it these days) that it'll mess up my Vipre install, and I *really* dont want to do that....

I'll ask the stupid question of the day... "Now we just reboot a couple times a week, because ICVerify is still on there, but we dont use it anymore" If you don't use it anymore, WHY is it still on there????

We were running ICVerify Network edition on there and apparently it leaks like a sieve, so we were rebooting it like every night.

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.
