All, this person's issue was that they could not boot past the splash
screen, and they were looking for a way to bring up the server WITHOUT
reloading. For all of your chastising about not following proper
testing proceedures before performing an upgrade, none of you answered
their question.

In the event your server will not boot past the splash after a software
update (or failed one), and safe mode and last known good do not work,
you have but two options:

1) EASIEST WITH NO RELOAD - Boot to a windows Server 2003 disk and
perform a repair on the OS (not the recovery console, but rather the one
that you have the option to perform in lieue of overwriting the windows
installation. Not gonna provide instructions here. If you need them at
this point you should probably call in qualified help
(www.securevizion.com). After performing the repair, you will need to
reinstall ALL Windows OS and OS add-on applications, but your server
will boot.

2) HARDER - Reinstall the OS and recover using your backup
proceedures.


In the event this happened after a hardware change, remove the
offending hardware and try to boot. If no luck perform the first
option.

Hope this helps someone...the original poster has probably already
resolved their issue. For all others, chastising a person in need when
they post a request for help in a forum is non-productive and uncalled
for. It helps not the original person requesting help nor anyone else,
and it clutters the post making searching for an answer harder. My two
cents.. Ray
