[AccessD] Access Development PC Keeps Dying

It's been a while  but I seem to remember a puter we had doing the same
thing.  Automatic Updates were turned on and set to run in the early AM.  It
was choking on a particular update and then restarting.  It would then try
again during the next cycle and choke again.

Emne: [AccessD] Access Development PC Keeps Dying

All,

We have a single PC set up for Access Development  (The only PC with the
Full Version of the Office Suite).

I use Remote Desktop to access this PC.

Recently, it has been going offline about two or three times per week and
must be manually rebooted.  This happens at night when it is not being used.

I have a couple questions.  These really aren’t Access questions but I
thought that others in this group may shed some light on them.

Is there some sort of log (XP SP3) that would help me discern why this PC is
dying?  I came from the IBM Mainframe realm and I am familiar with mainframe
system logs.

Also, I would like to set up an automated process (Perhaps with VB Script)
to discern when this development PC goes offline.  This script would run on
another server a few times each day and then send an e-mail if it detects
that the Access Development PC has died.  Does anyone have ideas on how to
do this?  I have limited VB Script experience.  Perhaps this would be
possible with VBA, I am not sure.

Thanks,
Brad
