Automatic System Shutdown

[APK]

Dear all,
Two of my client computer was on when I leave the office
at night, but when I back in the morning it was shutdown
automatically. No powerfailure, hibernation or
autodhutdown. I check in event viewer, I could find an
MRXSMB is giving the warning, later i check with KB and I
could find this warning over there KB263142, and they says
you can find the information on windows SDK. Where can I
find this (SDK), and what was my problem of shutdown,
is it really because of this MRXsmb?

pls help

Regards
APK

In order to find out what's going on, you have to collect
some evidence, i.e. when exactly the computers are shut
down. Try this:

a) Create a batch file c:\tools\Heartbeat.bat with these
lines inside:
@echo off
echo %date% %time% %ComputerName% is alive >> c:\Heartbeat.log

b) Create a background task that runs this batch file once every five
minutes:
- Start a Command Prompt
- Type this command:
for /L %H in (0,1,23) do for /L %M in (0,5,55) do
at %H:%M /every:m,t,w,th,f,s,su c:\Tools\Heartbeat.bat
(unwrap this line - it's all one long line!)
This command will create 288 background jobs.

Let the system run for two days or so, then check c:\Heartbeat.log to
see at what time the PC stopped running.

Report your results here. When finished, remember to kill the 288
jobs. Simply have a look at c:\winnt\tasks and delete those files
you no longer require.

If you did exactly as I suggested then your batch file
will automatically run once every five minutes. Does it?
Have you had a look at the log file? Did you let the
machine run overnight? Did it turn itself off? Can you
see at what time it happened?
