The configuration is held in the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CrashControl\AutoReboot

With a setting of either 1 (AutoReboot on) or 0 (AutoReboot off)

The following command should enable it:

reg add HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\CrashControl\ /v AutoReboot /t REG_DWORD /d 1

I would add to this that if you're having crashes often enough that you want to turn this on you have **more serious problems** than the fact that your system isn't rebooting itself after a crash. Find and fix the problem that is causing your crash! – voretaq7 Nov 03 '11 at 16:35
I need to move guest OSes from a distance. Then I'll take care about BSOD. – Nime Cloud Nov 03 '11 at 17:19
Look in the BIOS settings as well - your server needs to know to turn on after a power failure. – dunxd Nov 03 '11 at 21:26
It's "Always ON" & tested. Thanks. – Nime Cloud Nov 04 '11 at 07:15
@newmanth - Good catch, thanks. That was a Google job! – Dan Nov 19 '11 at 20:03
