Manuel,
Are you running and APC Powerchute services? I have this issue with any
of my win2000/win2003 servers after I updated. I found that the services
were taking forever to start up and thus causing the server to act like
yours.
The solution was found on APC's website which stated that due to the
expiration of the Sun Java Runtime environment certificates expired on
July 27, 2005, versions 6.x Powerchute will stop running normally. The
fix is to install the latest version 7.04 from the website.

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.
