Pure speculation, but the time frame to me screams: User runs a manual query that in their experience takes a long time to process (they don't know why) so they set it to start as they leave for the day, and then take action on the results the next day... On Fri, Feb 18, 2011 at 8:48 AM, Ziots, E

Any scheduled tasks in Windows or within SQL? Or, a task running against SQL (maybe check other servers or workstations that reference the cluster for their DBs for scheduled tasks). Could also fire up a performance and netmon capture during the timeframe to see if anything jumps out at you.

Also that's a very specific timeframe...even if it's not backups on the cluster, could there be a backup or scheduled task on another server on the same switch in that timeframe? Feel free to tell me to STFU...I'm just spitballing. :)  - WJR On Fri, Feb 18, 2011 at 07:48, Ziots, Edward wrote

Stupid question/suggestion: Have you tried taking the passive node offline to see if the database disconnect still occurs? Changing switches, as you mentioned would be my next, saner, suggestion.  - WJR On Fri, Feb 18, 2011 at 07:48, Ziots, Edward wrote: > I have a two node X64bit Windows 20
