Server Hung and was not accessible

We had our server hang and was not able to access some of the shares on the server.

Windows Server 2008 R2 running on VMware ESXi 5.1

Vmware tools are installed

The errors shown consists of Event ID 1000 with Source as VMware Tools. But, each event is different from the other. I am attaching the event ID screenshot. Not sure what happened, that after the reboot it we had our DFS service which was stopped, started and it actually cause issues in accessing the DFS share.

Appreciate your input on this
