Hi,
I just applied these MS updates to two(2) Win2k3 Standard Edition servers
both running MS Exchange 2003.
One came up no problem. The other allows a terminal session but will just
spin after accepting login credentials - "Applying Computer Settings"
The shutdown command is not being allowed due to the server doing some other
higher processing (maybe the terminal session loop?!?).
C:\shutdown -r -f -m \\foundry
foundry: The computer is processing another action and thus cannot be shut
down.
Wait until the computer has finished its action, and then try
again.(21)
I thought I could restart TS via the Manage Computer MMC but this service
has all the control options grayed out. It was set to Manual startup and so
I tried to change it to Automatic but after I applied it the MMC just hung.
So I have seen this in 50% of my servers. I am running RTM version with all
prior updates.

Subject: Latest patches: restart issues?
I'm having multiple servers having issues restarting after installing
the latest patches for Win2K3 (SP1 or RTM). The server will still
respond to ping, SMB/CIFS, Exchange, SQL, but not terminal services. I
can issue them a shutdown -r -f -m \\servername and they will restart at
that point.
Anyone else experiencing the same thing? This isn't with all servers,
but I've had a couple doing this.
