By the time many of you read this you will have had the patch for this, but in case anyone brings up a domain controller or has object success/failure auditing enabled without this patch this will help. I had servers rebooting seemingly randomly, and of course the log entries were no hel. I thought it was the VMware customization process and/or the VMWare network driver.
It turned out to be a known bug in 2012 R2, when the server (or in my case, domain controller policy) has auditing enabled. I was able to test by renaming objects on these DCs, and sure enough the "Windows Detected a Problem and Will Restart" message popped up.
One option is to turn off auditing. This wasn't an option for me, as there is a somewhat heavy compliance requirement for it where I am. Anyway they released this patch on 3/10/14 and you can download it without the call to Microsoft now. It is part of a rollup patch but I installed the standalone and the issue went away.
