Openfire Requiring Server Reboot

I am trying to figure out why my openfire 3.8.0 server with LDAP AD integration with Win 2008 Server is periodically requiring a reboot so my Spark clients can reconnect to it. So far what I have seen is that it’s usually needed after a weekend or holiday break from the office that the connections fail and the server needs to be rebooted. Post reboot everything works fine and is always working when I leave before the weekend or break. When these connections fail my clients receive the error message stating theat their user/pw is incorrect or there is no connection to the server.

Maybe some scheduled tasks are running on the servers (or AD) at that time (backups, reboots, updates).

From what I can tell the only thing I have scheduled to run over night every night is the Win Server Backup Utility, but this issue is only periodic and not a daily thing. Auto updates are set to download but not install to avoid the pesky auto reboot issues with that, and everything I am seeing in the task scheduler are tasks set by the system but it could be something set in there. I will see about disabling some of the things that are going to run over the weekend and see if that solves it…will let you know!

Thnx wr00t

Ok So i have not seen this before when having to reboot the server, but i got in this morning and had an error in my openfire process window.
