From: Alessandro on 19 Dec 2009 13:09 Hello all, I need your help. From yesterday morning on our server (Win2003 std, exchange2003, sqlserver2000) our internal websites, hosted on IIS 6, are not available. No errors are indicated. I noticed that the w3wp process is not running. I tried (after restarting IIS, without problems) to launch it by command line. Nothing happens. I also tried the command w3wp -?, and nothing happens again (it doesn't show the help screen, I mean). The only thing that we recently did on the server is the antivirus change (from Symantec to Kaspersky): it was on last weekend. But it functioned correctly until yesterday. Nothing about this in Kaspersky logs, I also tried to rollback the antivirus definitions but nothing changed. I will be able to restart the server only monday morning, if this is necessary. Have you any ideas? What can I check? Thank you in advance! Alessandro

No matter, the process came back restarting the server. Seems that there's an hardware problem, so we have however a lot to do, but not on the software side.
