Win2k Server Shutting Down



Our Terminal Server is having a problem. We are running an ERP application
(Syteline) on our network that requires user RDP sessions to the Terminal
Server. Once a week, generally on Tuesdays and Wednesdays users will all of a
sudden start getting kicked out of the TS session and not be allowed back in.
They receive errors stating that the server is unavailable, and to contact an
admin. When we check the server’s event log, we receive the same error each
time this problem starts to happen and it is the only error that references
to the issue at hand.

Application popup: userinit.exe - DLL Initialization Failed: The
Application failed to initialize because the window station is shutting down.

Once we see this error we know that the only thing to temporarily fix the
problem, until the next week, is a server reboot. Which causes our whole
company to come to a holt until the server is back up. My manager seems to
think that it is the windows auto updates, and that each time the server
automatically updates, it wants to reboot. But we have turned off the auto
updates, including the updates service and the problem persists. Although,
even with the auto updates are on, the server should not try to shutdown
after an update. Has anyone else had a problem like this? I don't think it
could be hardware; we recently replaced the motherboard, ram, cpus and fans
for the server, as well as updated all the firmware. A dell tech did all that
work and the problem was happening even before that.
