SBS 2011/Server2008 Random reboots



Remote procedure call service crashes on a computer that is running Windows Server 2003 SP2, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R

    Symptoms

    On a computer that is running Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack (SP2), Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2, a Svchost.exe process that hosts the remote procedure call (RPC) service crashes. When this issue occurs, the following error message is logged in the Application log:
    Event Type: Error
    Event Source: Application
    Event Category: None
    Event ID: 1000
    Date: <date>
    Time: <time>
    User: N/A
    Computer: <computer>
    Description:
    Faulting application svchost.exe version <version>, faulting module rpcrt4.dll, version <version>, fault address <address>.

    Cause

    This error occurs because the remote procedure call service does not wait for all the asynchronous RPC calls to be returned before the service reallocates the structure. Because of this behavior, the asynchronous RPC calls access an incorrect reallocated address. Therefore, an access violation occurs, and the RPC service crashes.

    Resolution
