What a great place to share :) Here you will find flashes of brilliance caught for all the world to enjoy. .. Actually, these are brief articles describing how I fixed a problem. Every day, I find information online that helps me solve a mystery. So this is me giving back to the community. Thanks for stopping by.. and don't forget to tell your friends!
Frozen servers courtesy of APC and Sun !
Warn/Inform all customers you know who are running
APC's PowerChute Business Edition version 6 and some lower versions of 7 !
I fought with two servers for many hours while troubleshooting an issue that I now believe stemmed from these services failing:
APCPBE Server
APCPBE Agent
APC's article and repair information
"Due to expiration of the Sun Java Runtime Environment certificate, versions 6.x of PowerChute Business Edition will cease to operate normally as of July 27, 2005. Failure to upgrade will result in PowerChute Business Edition no longer providing monitoring and graceful shutdown of your system."
I just resolved an issue using this information on a Windows 2003 server where the console login was hanging prior to displaying the desktop or icons. Beware!

Windows NT Server 4.0 does not do Safe Mode . This is the first step from APC. I used HiJack This to remove the service executables during reboot. Unfortunately, this caused the uninstall to give an error. I manually removed the remaining program files after rebooting. There are still two disabled APC services, but the server is happy again. :)
