Windows Server 03 auto update causes share point services to fail

lindseyschlabac · 10-24-2008, 05:15 AM

So the our windows 2003 small business server automatically was updated last night by Microsoft. It was then automatically restarted. Normally this works fine.

When I got into the office i noticed the error message that at least 1 service or driver failed at start up and then it said to see events log.

So I checked the events log and it is giving me this error message. Windows share point services 2.0 error. It is giving me this error 3 times or so per minute in the event log.

None of our desktop computers can access the server.

Anyone know what the problem might be?

thanks

A temporary fix would be to remove the update and restart. Last nights update was for a Critical Vulnerability that involved network traffic.

We actually got it working by restarting it the 3rd time. But I am curious as to how I could have rolled back the update? We don't have system restore on this server.

Or any other tips on protecting myself from this happening in the future?
