windows server 2008 hangs at "shutting down"


we have 5 windows server 2008 boxes (x86) not part of domain due software runs on them.  hanging @ shutting down message whenever shutdown or rebooted.  when run shutdown -r -f -t 0 on them, cleanly reboot.  way can determine if there particular service or process hanging during shutdown phase?

hi,

> when run shutdown -r -f -t 0 on them, cleanly reboot

do mean windows 2008 server cleanly reboot shutdown –f switch hang if run “shutdown /r /t 0” ( without –f switch) command? have find related event log?

parameter –f means force running applications close.

start server safe mode, check whether server can shutdown normally. if answer yes, disable non-microsoft services through msconfig.exe.

for more information please refer following ms articles:
