Active Directory is essentially a database, and like most databases, it has index and journaling for recovery in the event of an unexpected shutdown. A "normal" reboot would not have caused this though. So keep an eye on your event logs to look for corruption...and you should determine *why* the server rebooted on its own. Even if windows chose to reboot, it would've cleaned up after itself, so it sounds as though the problem is in a lower layer than the OS. Think hardware...which in many cases will still write event errors before it results in a reboot, such as RAID corruption, a S.M.A.R.T. drive throwing errors, etc. And if your server isn't on conditioned power, it should be. These types of probelems, in many cases, is dirty power. SMB class UPS's will clean that right up for ya...

Had a SBS 2003 R2 reboot by itself a couple of days ago. When I came into
the server room, on the screen it said that the Active Directory was
rebuilding indices. After it finished, I was able to log into the console,
but very few of the services were started. I shut down the server, waited a
couple of minutes, then restarted the server, and it seems everything is
running OK. Any idea what that means? Is this anything I need to worry
about?
