RE: windows server 2003 restarting (rpc service failing)

I would check the services console and specifically the settings of the rpc
service, it may have been configured to reboot if the service fails, change
it to just restart the service rather than the entire server, under normal
circumstances that service failing shouldnt cause a reboot.
