omid.koushki

last week , i try to work with Windows 2008 R2 server but my system restart frequently . after research i find Reboot problem. If these servers are using File Share or SMB v.2, srv2.sys may cause this problem.

This is SMB 2.0 server driver. You can download hotfix KB2552033  for Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 with your own risk until Microsoft officially release it.
