Windows Server: Unexpected restarts
I have been tasked with producing a monthly report providing a total number of unexpected restarts of all of my Windows servers - physical and virtual. Windows Server 2003 - 2012R2. What's Up Gold is installed here but I don't really see a report for that. I am wide open to ideas.
Thanks

Well that's not quite what I was asking about. I'm looking for a rollup report of all computers - not one. I'm not talking about blue screens - I'm talking about what WIndows Server calls an Unexpected restart. But thanks.
Sorry I misread your question.
I've just used event viewer but I will definitely see if I can find something that better fits your needs.

To monitor for Event ID 6008 ?

To verify I'd right click Computer, hit properties and go to the advanced system settings. From there hit advanced again, then settings under start up and recovery at the bottom. disable automatically restart. If it blue screens. .it will sit there until you restart it.
I had a similar issue on a new server install I did for a company who used gaming computer hardware. Ended up being a NIC driver that was causing the blue screens.
