Re: WinCF2 Maintenance reboot between 12:30 and 12:50am EST

installation of update is still going at this time so reboot is not done yet.
 
Re: WinCF2 Maintenance reboot between 12:30 and 12:50am EST

updates may restart IIS a time or two, until completed, I will post before reboot.
 
Re: WinCF2 Maintenance reboot between 12:30 and 12:50am EST

Rebooting in 5 minutes.
 
Re: WinCF2 Maintenance reboot between 12:30 and 12:50am EST

Rebooted, windows is being a bit slow to start, watching it boot here.
 
Re: WinCF2 Maintenance reboot between 12:30 and 12:50am EST

windows is just coming to black screen after splash screen and sitting there, I am working to see if can get anywhere else with this.
 
Re: WinCF2 Maintenance reboot between 12:30 and 12:50am EST

rebooting to safe mode to check if a update went bad.
 
Re: WinCF2 Maintenance reboot between 12:30 and 12:50am EST

Looking like we are going to be a while fixing this.
 
Re: WinCF2 Maintenance reboot between 12:30 and 12:50am EST

Safe mode is doing similar to non safe mode, going to try a few more options.
 
Re: WinCF2 Maintenance reboot between 12:30 and 12:50am EST

Rebooting to Last Known good brought ping up, but still seems to be hanging, we are going to wait a bit and see if it completes here now.
 
Re: WinCF2 Maintenance reboot between 12:30 and 12:50am EST

Trying a windows repair job now.

Even the windows recovery console is hanging when you select the windows installation, it seems these windows updates didn't just update, but search and destroy :(
 
Re: WinCF2 Maintenance reboot didn't go well - working on it

Working on some recovery of the OS now, will update when I can.
 
Re: WinCF2 Maintenance reboot didn't go well - working on it

It is a good thing I went to the store and got my Mountain Dew before this struck. Looks we'll/I be needing it. At the moment I'm taking a backup of the OS HD array just to be on the safe side before a windows reinstall.

The HD and content themselves, is showing to be fine, it is just booting up windows that is an issue. We may need certain OS files later so the backup is being made.

Windows setup is even hanging on 'searching for a previous version of Microsoft Windows' right now, it looks like the OS partition may have to be formatted to even get windows to fully reinstall at this point, still working on it!
 
Re: WinCF2 Windows Update reboot didn't go well - working on it

Windows is re-installing at this point now, on a newly formatted partition.
 
Re: WinCF2 Windows Update reboot didn't go well - working on it

update forthcoming....
 
Re: WinCF2 Windows Update reboot didn't go well - working on it

I have gotten a baremetal recovery to start working to last week for the OS. That is the update, that will prevent the mess of having lost DSNs for clients. We'll know more in the next15-30 minutes now.
