Hi...
 
I have a Windows 2000 Server box sitting in a closet that does the job of
running my website, BBS and Echomail software. The box only has a network
cable and power plugged in - no keyboard, monitor or mouse - so when I need
to get in there I just remotely-connect to it.
 
Upon installing five recent updates (one to direct, three to the OS and the
malicious software update), I had to reboot. Thats fine, and everything
works properly - except now the box will "hang" for around 5
minutes before resuming all tasks and then the dreaded "At least one
service failed to start" message comes up.
 
Upon examining the event viewer it tells me that the Automatic Updates
service hung on starting - how does one start to diagnose that problem?
 
I *cannot* use the box in safe mode as that would disable a critical
service necessary for me to remotely-connect to it.
