Hi all,

I have noticed that we have had random shutdowns of servers. Some
actually still ping, but you cannot get to a console or other
interface to see what is wrong and have to reboot them. The only
thing that shows up in the Event logs is the "The server shut down
unexpectedly...". I checked the power sources that they are
connected to and the are fine. Any thoughts as to what it might be? Also,
we run virus scanners, so I'm pretty confident that it isn't
that.
Thanks,

George

Do you have good, managed UPSes on all these servers?

I am facing the same issue with Windows 2003 server. No event logs.
When I connect to it from RDP it asks for a reason for the shutdown.
Beats me! A few days ago a Korean bot launched a password attack on
the FTP service, if this is relevant.
