This entry appears as MSS: (AutoReboot) Allow Windows to automatically restart after a system crash (recommended except for highly secure environments) in the SCE.
This entry, when enabled, permits a server to automatically reboot after a fatal crash. It is enabled by default, which is undesirable on highly secure servers. You can add this registry value to the template file in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\CrashControl\ subkey.
Fix:
(1) GPO: Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options!MSS: (AutoReboot) Allow Windows to automatically restart after a system crash (recommended except for highly secure environments)
(2) REG: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CrashControl!AutoReboot
