1. As soon as I install the services packs (1 or 2) I immediatelys see (you
can physically see hard disk activity on the server) an increase without any
workstations being conected. Even when only one workstation is connected
and with no activity it remains the same.
2. The above disk activity accures every 15-20 seconds and then repeats.
This is definatly not part of normal networks usage / network disk requests
/ writes.
3. The logs look ok. The only one that comes to mind is this one:
"Failed to save the Routing and Remote Access service configuration in the
registry. The registry key:
System\CurrentControlSet\Services\RemoteAccess\Parameters\Ip, registry
value: - could not be accessed for writing. The VPN configuration of the
server is incomplete."
Thx
