sswords -

Our server group has been reviewing the logs and they're not seeing anything out of the ordinary.

They tried to kill the MSSQLSERVER process but couldn't until DTC was disabled.  Not sure what this has to do with it but as long as DTC is disabled, they can kill and successfully restart the service.  Certainly not a perm. fix but it is one thing that was discovered so far. 

We did a dbcc check and the database looks good from that aspect (i.e. everything is there an doesn't show signs of corruption).  Just a bit frustrating because nothing is really jumping out indicating what the issue is such as errors in the database and/or server logs or event viewer.

Thanks for your post.
