Re: MS Critical Patches - Reboot - Did not reboot.

Hi Miller,

Thanks for your immediate reply. Well, I am not even worried about the RDP
issue I am facing. My problem was today (after around 8pm) I had scheduled
the install of critical patches. As many systems were not patched.

I patched several DCs and rebooted them and it came back. I had a DOS
window open when I rebooted one of my DC which holds the RID pool manager and
Infrastructure master. I had a DOS windows open wanted to see when it goes
down and it comes up using PING SERVER -t. I did not see REQUEST TIMED OUT
but was getting a REPLY all the time for more than 45 minutes.

So, I tried connecting through RDP and could not connect. If the server has
come back up it is fine for me and it is not a problem.

The EVENT IDs I see are:

The last even ID before it was supposed to go down was 1074 - USER32 and
after that I have 7036 Service Control Manager.

After this I have WARNING for the following EVENTIDs
40960 SPNGEO in System Events. There is no sign it shows that it started

Usually it will show Eventlog service started or lsass event ID 1000
database engine started.

But, I don't see any kind of events like this on this domain controller. I
infact pulled the event logs by connecting to another DC and from there
pulling the info of the DC which was supposed to reboot... I can check it on
Monday, but just want to make sure as it has both those FSMO roles.

In regard to the RDP not working properly, I have faced this in my previous
job where sometime in October or November I remember or before that I had no
problem in connecting via RDP through my VPN when I installed the patches and
rebooted the server. But, after sometime it stopped connecting via RDP after
the first reboot, so I had to go physically to the datacenter to do the
updates. Same issue I am seeing here on these servers. Not sure when this
started happening, but itused to work but it stops working. Not all behave
like t his, but some servers behave like this.

Hope this helps!

Hi Neil,

Every bit of info helps, what are the event ids? Also have you already
looked them up at eventid.net?
Do you happen to remmember what patches they were back in october? Is this
Server 2003 Sp2? Are you also unable to connect to the server via computer
management?

Hi,

I applied couple of critical patches from April till now as the previous
admins did not install any of these patches. But, one of my domain
controller
(which holds the Global Catalog) was rebooted after the patch install.
Reboot
command got issued, but it did not time out when I tried pinging with a -t
for almost 30 minutes. So, I thought something is wrong. I tried RDP in
again
and could not.

I have noticed this RDP problem cropping up from sometime in October of
last
year, when I applied patches and after that I could not RDP onto the
server.
I will have to reboot the server twice to get in through RDP again. Well
this
is not my main concern, but my main concern is the above problem. I am not
physically at the site to look at the server what is going on with my
Domain
Controller, which I might go in tomorrow to work or on Monday morning if
nobody calls in with login issues, I might reboot the server again.

If anybody could let me know why all the domain controllers rebooted and
this one did not. I have couple of event logs which I can throw it in
here,
if needed.
