Server 2003 shutting down
Hello I have a server 2003 that shuts down unexpectedly, I believe it hardware due to it does not leave any events in the event log but my customer is telling me the last IT service they had told them if they don't use the server as a mail server or had used it as a mail server and not using it the exchange role it will shut down every 4 hours... I never heard of anything like this in my life but I just wanted to run that by you guys to make sure ....any one heard of anything like this or have any sources that can back this up or dispute this

Never heard about such a thing because the unexpectedly shutdown has always only hardware reasons. Nothing else makes sense. Check even if you pluged in two times a kvm to the hardware (front and back) this makes this issue too.
sounds weird but there is a possibility of some dependency and need to know what happens in the background.
I would first recommend to analyze dump file at C:\windows to see the cause of unexpected shutdown. also check Recovery options of Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service properties, if it is set to restart the server if it fails.
