What about server hardware log, similar to Dell's OpenManage that logs events at the hardware level-i.e. Cpu temp memory errors disk condition etc..? Contoller conditions etc..

And while you’re in there it wouldn’t hurt to reseat cards and RAM. From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bill Humphries Sent: Thursday, January 23, 2014 11:55 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [NTSysADM] terminal server unexpected restarts Hi all, I have a new client that uses a terminal server that has quickbooks enterprise and a sql express LOB application installed on it. It is server 2008. It has begun randomly having unexpected shutdowns/restarts. Event viewer system and application logs seem to be clean prior to the shutdown. I recently inherited the system, and they were mostly fly by the seat of their pants DIY before they brought me in. It’s an HP ml350 with two sata drives in it..not mirrored. <gulp>. It’s a plumbing company with 24 hour service, so having the thing down for long periods of time troubleshooting isn’t very doable. Any suggestions where to start looking for the issue? RAM? Bill
