Windows 2008 R2 started crashing
We have legacy windows 2008 R2 both on Azure and on-prem (under ESXi), couple of days ago, all of them started crashing. We restored the one in Azure and restore a previous state, and started isolat...
- ok after almost 3 weeks of trying to figure this out... my colleague was able to resolve this issue. we have an application that seems to have messed up sysmondrv.sys, after he tried to rename both the exe and sys. was able to boot the windows 2008 R2 back up again. The process that led him to the solution was mounting the vmdisk on another vm, and open the even viewer logs, he also made a comparison to the other affected vms which was luckily able to boot first before crashing, and that got logged in which is the important clue.
