TS 5.5.1 on Win2K

Anyone come across the following problem.

We have installed TS5.5.1 onto a win2k server and the y:drive keeps disappearing and then reappearing for no obvious reason.

Any ideas on what may be causing this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Paula

Is there anything showing up in iw-home/local/logs/iwtrace.log when you see problems with the Y: drive disappearing?

any messages in the NT event logs?

No errors. As far as the logs are showing y: is created.

Can you run iwstat and see if there is any activity when the Y drive is not available?

pflint

It would appear that our loss of the y drive is due to rebooting remotely through either Terminal Serivces or Tivoli. In order for the y: drive initialise correctly the TS server must be rebooted manually

That should not be the case. I have worked on numerous TS servers running on Win2k, and in almost every case have used terminal services. I frequently reboot over terminal services, and have never observed this behaviour. There might be some validity to the thought of a bad interaction between Tivoli and TeamSite, though. I don't have any specific experience to enlighten me there.
