Q & A: SBS 2003 server restarts automatically

[chicagotech]

Q: My SBS 2003 server restarts automatically in every 2 hour and give an error: "Error (id 1014)". Any suggestion how to fix it?

A: Quoted from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555087

This issue can occur if the Windows 2003 Small Business Server integrated setup was not completed. Windows 2003 Small Business Server must be a domain controller and hold all FSMO roles for the domain. In order to facilitate migration from an existing domain, the Small Business Server can function for 7 days after installing without being promoted to a domain controller. After that time, the Small Business Server must be promoted to a domain controller using the integrated setup. If the integrated setup is not completed, the SBCore service will initiate a shut down of the server.

RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, complete the Windows 2003 Small Business Server integrated setup. To access integrated setup, select "Windows Small Business Server 2003" in the Add/Remove Programs applet in the Control Panel.
