19) FORCE NT TO REBOOT AFTER A CRASH
>From Exploring Windows NT
If you spend any time administering Windows NT, you're far too familiar with
the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) which displays the cause of the crash and
gives some information about the state of the system when it crashed. The
BSOD will sit on the screen until someone reboots the system, which could be
very bad for a system that should be running 24 hours a day, like an
Exchange server. You can force NT to automatically reboot after a crash by
setting the value of
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\CrashControl\AutoReboot to 1.
Once you've changed this value, NT will reboot after writing the crash log
file.
