We have a w2k3 member server running exchange that periodically reboots for
no apparent reason.

After each reboot, the system error log contains 3 instances of:-
Event Source: LsaSrv
Event Category: Security Package Manager
Event ID: 5000
Description: The security package Kerberos generated an exception.

Followed by:-
Event Source: USER32
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1074
Description: The Process winlogon.exe has initiated the restart of computer
EXSERV on behalf of user for the following reason: No title for this reason
could be found
Reason Code: 0x50006
Shutdown Type restart
Comment: The system process 'C:\WINDOWS\system32.lsass.exe terminated
unexpectedly with status code -1073740972.

Help please, any clues/suggestions/etc. gratefully accepted.

I guess the most sensible place to start is patching, is the server totally
up to date with all the latest windows and exchange patches ??

If So then I'd suggest re-applying the latest Service pack for Windows and
Exchange and then re-patch with all the updates, should hopefully re-install
clean versions of the affected files.

It is up to SP1, but I've just noticed that autoupdates is disabled. I'll do
all the patches and if the problem reoccurs I'll repost.
Thanks for the pointer.

I think someone is on your server. The path to the lsass.exe is wrong.
It says 'C:\WINDOWS\system32.lsass.exe terminated unexpectedly with
status code -1073740972.' and there should be a back slash after
system32 like c:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\lsass.exe

Check the path and see if a file exists called system32.lsass.exe
