One my users reports that he cannot access our Sharepoint MOSS 2007 installation at midnight each night.

I look in the Event Viewer and every day this error appears at 12:25:20 am:

I'm confused by the fact that the timestamps inside the Event Description range from 11:55 PM to 12:08 AM the following day. So how come the event time is 12:25 AM?

And further, where else should I look for information about this error?

  • What does the event log on the database server tell? I'd imagine that's the cause of the problem. Do the cleaning staff vacum the server room at that time and take the plug from the database server?

By the look of it I would say check in SQL Server. This probably has to do with http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943345 defragmentating databases or rebuilding indexing. Could well that this was setup as a maintenance plan so check under there. Maybe something in there also takes the database offline.
