Daniel_Purton Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 I've been having problems shortly after installing Windows Server 2003 enterprise edition. When i have connected to the internet i am constantly getting and error that says "windows must now restart because the remote procedure call (RPC) service terminated unexpectedlyintialized by nt authority. Shutting down in 60 seconds" What does this mean, I looked through the help files but found nothin of use, does anyone have an idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datalore Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 It sounds like you have a variant of the Blaster worm, which exploits the RPC service. You should first run an up-to-date virus scan, or use a specific tool to remove this worm. First, to stop the machine from shutting down, go to the command prompt and type "shutdown -a" without the quotes. You may download a removal tool here. I also recommend searching Google for more information.Microsoft Information Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chem Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 Next time, the first thing you do when you install Windows (or any other OS) is download the updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
