Unexpected Shutdowns

[Soul]

Anyone else with Windows Server experiencing unexpected shutdowns?

I also need my Windows 2003 server to autologin and then lock the workstation but am having no luck at making that happen. I have tried tweakui but it doesnt seem to work. I have some programs that I cannot run as services that I want to run as soon as the server comes online and I can't depend upon me logging into the machine manually to guarantee that this happens. I need this asap.

Anyone have any ideas?

If your having problems running certain things as services you can try the latest Firedaemon http://www.firedaemon.com/ to run services on your windows 2003 machine. Also make sure you download the latest service pack that just came out.

I know you can run apps as services the problem is that these have a gui to which I would prefer to keep access.

So far no luck on the autologon. I had tried most of those registry settings already. The only one I had not tried was ForceAutoLogon which seems to only persist the change to all future logons. So right now I am hosed if the machine unexpectedly shutsdown. I have to manually log into the box to bring this apps back online.

Yay... forget my last message it finally worked. Took it about 7 minutes to reboot and bring all the domain services up so that it could function correctly.

Thanks

Still need to determine why it is unexpectedly shutting down. Anyone else with a windows box have it unexpectedly shut down at about 2:15 est last night?
