Hi there,
We have Windows 2008 SBS with Exchange 2003 SP3. From WSUS console last week I approved RU11 and attempted to install it. I installed it among several other updates as security updates for Server 2008 (KB2862966, 2859537), Update for Server 2008 (KB 2863058) and MS.NET FW 4 (KB2840628). First time it took forever and probably I was not patient enough and rebooted the server. The statuses of all those update were "Failed". I updated it another time and rebooted. The status that time was "Successful", but Exchange was down and Outlook clients could not connect to it accordingly. I found that several major services were down. I search the Internet and found the very similar situation with other RUs. I checked my services and found that all MS Exchange and some other, including IIS were down. Their start up type was "Disabled". I changed all of them to Automatic and my Exchange began working again. Is the community or/and MS aware about this situation? Am I so unique or just it is my luck? Should I leave it as is or do something?
How serious it is and should I expect any negative consequences in the future?
Thank you.
