Ugh...well, I'd hope you have regular backups of your server anyway....do
you know the KB number for the critical update that caused this, and can you
boot into safe mode and uninstall it?
Generally on servers I update only one thing at a time, reboot, make sure
all is good, and then continue - makes it easier to figure out what is
causing the problems.
