Hi all,
After years of no problems whatsoever, a couple of things have happened
recently that is causing me some concern. One one Win2K Server the other day
it seemed to just shutdown and I see this in the event log:

"The previous system shutdown at 10:00:05 AM on 09/9/2004 was unexpected. "

And now another of our servers has done the same, "The previous system
shutdown at 5:30:09 PM on 11/9/2004 was unexpected. "
Does anyone know what could have caused this ?

cheers,

Adam
