Here's one for you. Windows 2000 server, SP4, spontaneously reboots. No messages in the error log other than the standard eventlog service starting up, and the usual "previous system shutdown was unexpected" BS. Now - I've already enabled a screen saver (and disabled it, tried both ways) and removed the auto update service, so I know those are not causing any of it. I've made no changes to the software since the server was installed. System settings were updated today with a few of the standard tweaks I use (fixed file size for swap, closed the gap on the registry size allocation and setting the dump to 'minidump'). No effect. No hardware changes either. Also, the version of BackupExec that I have running on it, is not subject to the reboot bug in MS's Kbase. As a matter of fact, the Otman5.sys driver file isn't even there.
So... what the heck?

Another suggestion I just put in, ensure that NetBIOS Over TCP/IP is enabled in the WINS tab of the network settings. Tried it, watching the boxes...
