You really need to give us some more information if we are to help...

First off, what is the stop code? Without that, we might as well blame sunspots for the BSOD. What kind of system? What other roles does the server hold? What was your friend's stop code?

And let's get some more clarification on what you mean by "2k3 SP1 PDC." Win2k3 (and Win2k) domain controllers all have read-write AD databases that are synchronized-- there is no such thing as a "PDC" in Win2k3. There is, of course, the "PDC Emulator" role that a DC can assume for legacy client support, but that's a different issue. Are you saying that only DC's that serve the "PDC Emulator" role are affected? Has this been verified using ntdsutil? Have you tried to restore the last known good config? Any luck with Safe mode? Did it ever properly load after the patches were applied? How did you apply the patches?

There are lots of people on this list that are willing to help, but we need something to work with.

Hi list ,

After deploying new set of microsoft patches released
this months , we experienced a heavy crash on out
domain controller systems which are based on windows
2003 SP1 !
just after a clean install of  last 5 patches ,
windows will no more boot ! nice blue screen of death
is what MS dedicated to us !
another friend of mine , in his own network
experienced the same . cool point is that _ONLY_ PDC
systems are affected to this unexpected crash . no
other 2k3 SP1 server had any problem with patches .

anyone else have had same problem ?
what the hell is going wrong ?
