Server 2012 R2 Standard Randomly Restarting

[bhargate]

Afternoon all, we have noticed that one of our servers at a primary school is restarting randomly with the following error:

 

The process wininit.exe has initiated the restart of computer XXXXXX 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 -1073741819. The system will now shut down and restart.

 

The server is Server 2012 R2 Standard. Has anyone come across this and have any potential fixes?

You need to remove recent Windows Updates. There's a long recent thread about it.

Can you link me the thread please so I can look at this?

There is a thread on here already. Has the server recently installed the January updates?

 

MS has issued a fix for server 2012 now

 

Windows Server 2012R2 - http://download.windowsupdate.com/c/msdownload/update/software/updt/2022/01/windows8.1-kb5010794-x64_3b350eb34833c9a3ac71d973db3fd8ae86a6b220.msu

Basically M$ brought out a Windows Server update which:

 

1. Caused DCs to constantly restart

2. Stopped VM hosts starting their VMs

3. Completely stopped ReFS working

 

In particular for Server 2012R2, this was KB5009624.

 

Then they brought out a patch - KB5010794.

 

On mine this was found in 'Optional' updates, long story short... I ticked both, installed, restarted... all good (so far)!

Yep same story here, so far all is well.

hi

 

I have just done a scan and both updates are appearing (KB5009624 & KB5010794) - do we skip KB5009624 and just install KB5010794?

 

Thanks

[Koldov]

Do both (at the same time)...

 

KB5010794 is just a patch to correct certain issues with the KB5009624 monthly update.

 

KB5009624 weighs in at 546.9 MB (as it is the CU).

 

KB5010794 is 81.1 MB (as it is just a patch, so doesn't replace the update).
