I am mid way through a rollout program for Backup Exec 12.5. After 10 servers I had experienced no problems, then suddenly the last 2 servers have both restarted themselves midway through the install. I was watching the 2nd one closely and it was whilst it was finalizing but before it got to installing the remote agents I had selected.
The install suddenly closed along with all other windows, I was logged off and then briefly saw "Windows is shutting down" before my remote control session disconnected.
Looking through event viewer I found the below messages indicating the restart was caused by a patch for MS SQL Server 2005. Looking through the event viewer for one of the other servers this patch was installed but did not cause the server to restart. Can you please explain why this has happened.
