Services Not Closed Properly During Forced Shutdown

 Last reviewed: March 21, 1997
Article ID: Q141588
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows NT Workstation versions 3.5 and 3.51
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.5 and 3.51
  • Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

Windows NT services are forced to terminate immediately during shutdown. Therefore some of these services are not closed properly. For example, a UPS power outage may force a immediate shutdown while the services are running and cannot properly close the services in less than 20 seconds (forced shutdown time interval).

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT Workstation and Server versions 3.5, 3.51, and 4.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
