The kernel power manager initiated a shutdown transition

we are running SBS 2011 standard on our network and the server shutsdown every week. The domain only has one server 2000 which is the main dc and runs all roles. SBS 2011 is only added to the network as normal file server and not a dc.

I get the following events in event manager.

The process C:\Windows\system32\silsvc.exe (SYSPROSQL) has initiated the shutdown of computer SYSPROSQL on behalf of user NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM for the following reason: Legacy API shutdown
 Reason Code: 0x80070000
 Shutdown Type: shutdown
 Comment: Licensing Compliance Service caused a shutdown. Please look at the events under Microsoft > Windows > Server Infrastructure Licensing > Operational for details.

and the other event id:

The FSMO Role Check detected a condition in your environment that is out of compliance with the licensing policy. The Management Server must hold the primary domain controller and domain naming master Active Directory roles. Please move the Active Directory roles to the Management Server now.

This page refers to SBS 2008 but I would guess it is the same issue: http://forums.techarena.in/small-business-server/1344624.htm

Seems your current configuration is not valid.  So either mess around trying to fudge it or get yourself a valid (and therefore correctly licensed) solution.

ASKER
We bought the server with 35 CALS. Server is able to see the DNS server. Server has 1TB free space and 16GB memory. I have seen on the forum that many have tried changing the new SBS 2011 to host all 5 FSMO roles but this doesn't normally solve the problem but add more problems to the current problem.
