Are you running other server application beside FMS? Everything nice here too until I install other server apps.

Hi! Problem is exactly what allenvaughn posted first. I do not think that someone have to travel here (Hungary) because I found others on the net with same problem and no solution ever, only restart the server or reinstall system. I reinstalled system again. I will not install other applications now, because FM is ridiculously sensitive. It seems if other server application running that problem appears again. Regards, Yesname

Problem is returned and I hate FM now. Nothing changed on system. I do not know why software developers do not fix this bug more than 3-4 years. Maybe they can not? Ridiculous!!! I am so sorry that the previous admin started to use FM. :)

After a clean install (WS 2003 and FMS 11) everything is working fine. I do not know what was the problem with previous system, because did not run other service or application, only clean WS 2003 and FMS 7, then FMS 11. Other application never was installed or removed, only the FMS 7. I think something wrong with FMS 7 uninstaller.

I mean backup of AD, not FM databases. I tried to stop FM server while AD is backuping and start FM server again when AD backup is finished, because there was an idea that FM server lost its connection to the AD when AD server makes back up of system state. After FM server lost its connection it freezes and only the computer restart helps. (sry for my english, hoping you understand what I try to say.)

Of course every backup process scheduled at night. I have written script that close FM databases, then stop FM server and service everyday at night before backup processes, then start FM server at early morning after backup. Unfortunately it is not worked. Today did a clean reinstall of WS 2003 and FM server. I hope this will OK now. Will see on next week. I will write the result.

Thank you for your reply after 1 year. : If the system state backup of the AD causes this issue may there is a workaround. I will try to stop FM service with a batch file before system state backup and after it restart FM service. I am disappointed because this issue is so old and I have not found any workaround yet :

Service freezes when I try to stop it and it is nota solution for the problem: FMS lost the connection to the AD after 1-2 days and have to restart computer, cause I can not stop nor restart FM service. :

Exactly same problem here with a main and a secondary (backup) AD server. Using Filemaker Server 11.0.1.95. We upgraded from Filemaker Server 7. If reinstall version 7 problem is not appearing anymore. Install Server 11 after 1-2 days clients can not login, server must be restart to work again. Got these event logs: Administrator "fmsadmin" no longer responding; connection closed. and after trying to shutdown FM server it is freezes and get message: "Database "XXX" was not closed properly; performing consistency check on 369 blocks..." Have a solution for this problem?
