RE: Changing Password via Terminal Services causes Server Reboot (



Hi,

It looks like we've tracked this down to the Acronis Software. We did a
clean install of Windows 2003, Patched it all up, and then installed the
Acronis software. The problem then ocurrs.

I've put a posting about this on the Plesk forums at:
http://forum.plesk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=22774

and the Acronis forum at:
http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=73952

Cheers,

Roland
