Hello All,
There is a Linux kernel server ,
Linux 2.6.18-164.2.1.el5
It generates a message "IP Service microsoft-ds is down "
and after two days the server goes on halt and will not allow me to do anything until i restart the server.
Any idea on why is it happening.?
You should go look in your logfiles to get an idea of what is happening.

Is it always stopping at the same time or after the same elapse time from the above message? The former suggests a scheduled job, whilst the latter is a service deciding that the error is fatal and stopping your server, so you would need to know what microsoft-ds is.
What trace information do you get in the /var/log/messages?

I would also ask, what is your definition of "halted"?
Is the server definitely down (ie, panic'd) or is it just unusable (ie,alive but cannot login because too busy or something)?
What evidence have you got that it's completely down?
As Neo said, are the system logs telling you anything? First place to look.
