We recently did a fresh install of SBS 2008, configured 25 users with client workstations. Everything worked fine for the first day, next day when we started the server, windows update started automatically and there was a message saying “Configuring updates: Stage 1 of 3 - 0% complete. Do not turn off your computer.” Problem is that the message was stuck as it is for the next two hours until I manually restarted the system. But the message appeared again and stuck.
I tried searching for some help in MS Knowledge base and came across KB949358, which says I need to rename pending.xml and remove key - HLKM\Offline Components\AdvancedInstallersNeedResolving
and HKLM\Offline Components\PendingXmlIdentifier. Well I did exactly as mentioned, system restarted but now the screen looks like booted in Safe Mode. However all users are able to connect the server and work fine.
But this is not the proper solution right? Screen should not be like safe mode screen. Will this get fix if I do a clean re-install of SBS ? Or is there any other fix for the same? Thanks for helps.
