Re: Serivce Pack 2 for Windows 2003 enterprise server fails

Because I am always losing shadow copies or my shadow copies just stop
working.

I figure I rather go to Service Pack 2 - see if that would resolve the
issue - if not proceed with a support call.

Usually when we open up a support call they want you to be at the latest
service pack.

Ok, Eric, but why the hurry to install it?

I agree. But HP said already they can give me no timeframe for their
software to be compatible with Service Pack 2.

And sometimes early adopter means early pain. I really don't this issue
or new XP/Vista installs as a Microsoft issue. Vendors really need to
step up and update things! SP2 was in beta for a very long time.

Rodney,

The funny is that I started the call with HP Services and no one from
their support even said anything about Secure Path not being supported.
I was up front with them on everything when I started the support call.

I learned a lesson in all this, it is treat a service pack like an new
OS installation. Microsoft wants everyone to go to the latest and
greatest but vendors drag their feet to make their products support it.

Go back to my original post, vendor support is critical. See

Here was the deal - Microsoft got me an hotfix that replaced my
licdll.dll and it allowed us to install the service pack but.....

Our HP servers has Secure path running on it, this cause the server
to go into an endless loop of rebooting. So we have to wait until
SecurePath or their MPIO qualifies for Service Pack 2.

PSS has this issue right now.

They are saying that the server has too many hotfixes to apply
Service Pack 2. Hopefully they will come up with a solution or
fix soon.

just tried 927891 and still nothing.

I ran the KB931940 and it does not detect any hotfixes that would

from installing.

Yeah I know, it seems like it always happens to me.

Are you kidding about the test server, we are a small college we
have barely
enough money to buy production servers.

Everything that was on the server is SP2 compatible, I even run
the tool to
check to see if it is SP2.

space should not be an issue, we have 30 GB free.

Nothing in the event log, only thing that is showing anything is
the log to
the server pack. It is hanging on the backing up registry part
during the
installation.

Eric you always have most interesting issues. I hope this is a
test cluster
and your hardware vendor has blessed SP2 already. I know EMC
has not - yet.

What is running on this cluster? How much space is left on
the C Drive?
Anything in the event log?
