win cf Maintainance

[maheep]

Some urgent maintenance is going on wincf and hence its services will not be available for few minutes.

 

[Ravi]

WinCF services are back now.

 

[maheep]

Going to reboot the server to complete the maintainance operation

 

[Stephen]

WinCF did not reboot properly, we have a tech onsite evaluating the situation.

 

[Stephen]

We got it back up with help from the on-site staff(would normally be me, but I am over 1500 miles away on vacation right now), they said that windows seemed to be hanging on boot, we are checking the logs to see what service was hanging now.

 

[Stephen]

I found something I have never seen before, but it said windows did not logoff the user properly, so it had a registray error, windows had to repair the registry before it could boot.

I am used to this server taking a bit longer than others to restart, but no where near as long as it took this time.
