Hi,

We have a Poweredge 2500 SBS 2000 which is having hanging
problems but still works as a file server Sometimes!
Administration seems a problem, with the SBS 2000 system
sometimes missing the (to do list), (about screen eg
licenced no., ID, CALs Microsoft registration blurb
disappears, etc), DHCP going up and down like a yoyo,
Exchnge server wont configure. Cant defrag, dell open
manage software does not work or even run.

Never come across such a mess! I would think a complete
reinstallation but could it be hardware??? eek!

Antivirus OK

Dell had some problems with the PERC RAID controllers that could cause data
corruption. Dell has a free snap upgrade available for the controller, but
do a full backup first. The upgrade killed two of my three drives. Just
contact Dell. Sounds like reload time for you. Good luck!
