Hello All,
We're experiencing some strange behavior with some of our Windows servers. For unknown reason they seem to shut down.
This occurred while we were executing tests via Azure DevOps pipelines. (not sure if related)
EventID: 1074
The process C:\windows\System32\svchost.exe (sp-na-re-m80-1) has initiated the shutdown of computer sp-na-re-m80-1 on behalf of user NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM for the following reason: Other (Planned)
Reason Code: 0x80000000
Shutdown Type: shutdown Comment: C
I've done a little investigation, see the screenshots attached.
I'm hoping someone can shine a light on this and guide me towards the root cause of the shutdown.

Hi there,
seeing your screenshot, I went here
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/shutdown/system-shutdown-reason-codes
and checked for shutdown codes again and found this:
SHTDN_REASON_FLAG_PLANNED
0x80000000
The shutdown was planned. The system generates a System State Data (SSD) file. This file contains system state information such as the processes, threads, memory usage, and configuration.
If this flag is not present, the shutdown was unplanned. Notification and reporting options are controlled by a set of policies. For example, after logging in, the system displays a dialog box reporting the unplanned shutdown if the policy has been enabled. An SSD file is created only if the SSD policy is enabled on the system. The administrator can use Windows Error Reporting to send the SSD data to a central location, or to Microsoft.
also found this that might help

(thx to google translate) this is not a scheduled task. But I found out for 1 server there was a Azure task which does bring the server down at night and starts it up in the morning.. 1 down, 1 to go :)
