I have one of our servers Win2003 EE SP2 out of sudden the following services stop: automatic updates, computer browser, cryptographic services, distributed link tracking client, logical disk manager, secondary logon, server ,wireless configuration , workstation.
when I try to start server service it give me error 5 access denied, and this service will not start until I restart the server and all services will run normally and after one or two days the same problem repeated.
Any idea how to solve this problem, I am sure no updated or any new application installed on the server the only thing that we had problem in master browser in the PDC and we solve the problem by restarting the PDC.
We have apply the following fixes with no luck:

Anything in any of the event logs on our about the time that the services stop?

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7032
Date: 11/28/2012
Time: 2:31:23 PM
User: N/A
Computer: Server02
Description:
The Service Control Manager tried to take a corrective action (Restart the service) after the unexpected termination of the Windows Management Instrumentation service, but this action failed with the following error:
An instance of the service is already running.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

That log is not very helpful. Is there anything else you can note about what happens just before these services stop? Before this started happening, did something change on this server?

In the meantime, I'll try to do some additional research.

no changes on this server, and I cant find anything in event logs
