Question : Services Crashing Multiple Times Per Day: wuauserv, bits, browser, trkwks, dmserver, seclogon, lanmanserver, audiosrv, sharedaccess, wzcsvc, and lanmanworkstation

Hello,
I am working with a client who has many Windows based servers in their network with crashed services.  This happened around the time of 1) a new firewall and content filter, 2) virus infections on two domain controllers, and 3) the addition of 2000 mac notebooks.  I am leaning towards virus or macbooks causing the issue and here is why.

There are other articles I have worked through with no success and the patch in the above link does not fix things either.  I really wanted to believe that the SMB broadcast issue was causing this though.  I am just about ready to call Microsoft but that is usually a 2 day endeavor without guarantee of success so I am reaching out here first.  

Answer : Services Crashing Multiple Times Per Day: wuauserv, bits, browser, trkwks, dmserver, seclogon, lanmanserver, audiosrv, sharedaccess, wzcsvc, and lanmanworkstation

Just to make sure ,are the Machines (servers, workstations & notebooks)  are patched up alright ? 

especially against this one MS06-040

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS06-040.mspx

this bug seems to be all the rage now, an exploit went public among Malware coders and quite a few threats were released to the wild exploiting this vulnerability, symptoms include repeated service crashing, hidden download & execution of other malware.

until this clears up & you ensure all machines are patched up , try removing any exceptions for windows firewall for file & printer sharing.

Also what does eventviewer say when services crash ?

finally it would help alot if you could post a hijack this log from one of the infected DCs
