Guest Boe Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 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?

Guest Boe Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 Re: Windows 2003 reboots on shutdown - Start, Shutdown 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.
