Log that shows shutdown events
Whenever I restart/shutdown Server 2003, the server prompts with a window asking me to enter the reason why the server is being restarted/shutdown. Where is this information stored? Event Viewer?

Yes. Event viewer.

Sorry. I didn't mean to sound obnoxious. I just got yelled at for a power outage that wasn't my fault.

We had a power outage sometime after 1:30am today and our Iseries went down. The Dell servers had rebooted and this morning prompted me to enter a reason for the shutdwon. I wrote power outage. Will the log say the power outage happened when I entered the reason or when the actual power outage happened, which was hours before I came into work today. How can I find out exactly when the outage occurred using this log?
Go to my computer... right click my computer... select manage... click event viewer and i believe it should be in your system log
To tell you the truth i am not exactly sure what it will log or when it will log it. As far as i understand it is logged in what i believe to be the system log of event viewer but that really is as far as i know.
Normally it will come up as an error because windows was shut down unexpectedly.

The event showed up in System under USER32 but it showed up at the time when I logged in this morning and entered teh reason for the shutdown, not when the shutdown actually happened.
