Been having some issues over the past few weeks with my DellR710s
8 Physical Servers with 24 VMs running Windows 2003. After a reboot (during start up scripts) have the following error present.
Servers Blue screen while running startup scripts prior to the log in window with the following error.
STOP: c000021a {Fatal System Error}
The windows Logon Process system process terminated unexpectedly with a status etc
The reason I am posting this in here is due to all the trouble shooting I have done I am starting to lean towards ESXi being the cause.
This error only appears intermittently on the servers but has occurred at least once on all VMs and as often as 6-7 times in a row before a successful boot.
I have also built up a fresh server utilising the same host and the VM will receive this error during the build after one of the the reboots and the build will stop half way through.
Have tried updating ESXi and Re-installing ESXi however the problem is still present.
Looking for any other options/ trouble shooting/ experience anyone may have to help resolve this.
Thanks
