Anecdotal:
I've seen something similar. Patching 4 w2k3 boxes, 2 are DCs. 1 of the DCs
didn't go smoothly.

Full patched RTM.
Install SP1, windows then appeared to automatically reinstall all
appropriate hotfixes.
Restart didn't happen and left box in quite unresponsive state.
Issued restart via terminal services (start->shutdown...) and it came back
up fine.

Incidentally the dc that "failed" is holder of all FSMO roles and a GC.

I'm afraid I can't give any more details than that as I was in a hurry and
just trusting in either MS to build robust patches/OS or failing that, my
backups to allow me to roll back. Despite hiccup the box seems fine now.

Regards
Nick.

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.
