Windows 2003 reboots on shutdown - Start, Shutdown


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello,

 

I have a Windows R2 X64 SP2 server.

 

When I click on Start, shutdown and tell it to shutdown - NOT reboot, it

still reboots. All my other servers just shutdown but this one always

reboots. I haven't tried a DOS command yet to shut it down but I'd like to

fix whatever is causing it to reboot during a normal shutdown.

 

Any guesses?

Try this command: shutdown -s -f. Does that work?

Thanks - I haven't tried that yet - I'm trying to avoid the DOS command for now and figure out why the standard method isn't working. I saw a thread about this same thing a while back but since I wasn't having the problem at the time I didn't take note.
