We have a dual 1.8 G5 with 2gb of ram running AFP and SMB only on 10.4.8



After about 8+ hours our 10.4.8 server becomes un-responsive. I lose ARD connectivity, AFP and SMB shares become unavailable, applications take a really long time to open, either the black arrow in the dock pulses or the app beachballs. When I view the activity viewer nothing is consuming excess memory or ram, CPU usage stays below 5%.



After a restart all is fine again, very fast and snappy. As the day goes on though, same story.



What can I do to resolve and diagnose this issue?

Since you paid a lot of money for that software I'd also call Apple tech support and demand they do something about your problem.

Yes, because if you don't demand, they obviously won't help.

I have a variation on macintologist's advice. Call Apple and be polite. It's amazing how much further you will get with people when you are nice.

However in the meantime, have you looked to see the memory usage when the system bogs down? It could be that one of your apps has a memory leak.
