Windows Server powers itself off.
slmgr /rearm to add another 180 days
I was surprised my VMs and Windows Server wasn’t responding to pings or ssh. Went over to check the HP host and found it was turned off.
When I powered it back on everything was looking fine so I went digging through event viewer. Had to scroll through a bunch of stuff but one obscure “information” entry in Application Logs that said:
The license period for this installation of Windows has expired. The operating system is shutting down.
One hour as well as a half hour before Windows Server shut itself down, there are a couple of information logs that said:
The license period for this installation of Windows has expired. The operating system will shutdown every hour.
It logged an identical entry when I turned the machine back on as well.
