Hi,

Like clockwork, every two weeks, we have a couple of
servers that reboot at 8:39 am.

The system event log has this entry:

The previous system shutdown at 8:39:13 AM on 7/8/2004 was
unexpected. Event id = 6008.

There doesn't seem to be any physical relationships to the
servers. Some of them are on different plugs and
different breakers.

Has anybody seen this behaviour before ? Perhaps a virus ?

We are running windows 2000 server with sp 5.

Thanks

Ned
