Symptom The Cisco CRS server keeps rebooting due to the Cisco CRS Node Manager service failure.
Error Message A Microsoft Windows message shows a server reboot in 60 seconds due to

Engine, CRS Administration, Datastore, and Desktop services.
Recommended Action Complete the following steps:
Step 1 Go to the Windows Services Control Panel. Under the Recovery tab, change First/Second/Subsequent
failures action toTake No Action.
Step 2 Look at the Cisco MCVD log first to identify the failure service; then go to the log of that service to find
the reason.

Second failure: Reboot the Computer; Subsequent failures: Reboot the Computer.
