System Shutdown:The system is shutting down. Please save all work in progress and log off. Any unsaved changes will be lost. This shutdown was initiated by NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. Shutdown will begin in 59 seconds. Shutdown message: The system process 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\lsass.exe' terminated unexprectedly with status code - 1073741818. the system will now shut down and restart....Help!! there are 7 Microsoft articles on this all with Hot Fixes and I don't know which one to use!! I'm not getting any of the system event ID's in the logs they are showing in the articles. the only event log item is "the previous shutdown at whatever time was unexpected" Plus none are the exact status code - 1073741818. It's happening on a Windows 2003 R2 SP2 server.Thanks,d.l.t.
