We have a Windows 2000 Server (SP4) that likes to hang after performing its automatic Windows Update. It hangs at the "Windows is shutting down" message after closing out the login box, and the scrolling bar merrily scrolls but the system continues to hang indefinitely.
The problem does not occur after every single WU run, but it does happen more often than not. Event logs show nothing useful; they appear to show the machine shutting down but never coming back up =P
As this machine is in production and I can't take it offline during the week to investigate it (over a weekend I hope to try disabling services to pinpoint a troublemaker, if any), I wondered if anyone had run into similar problems and whether they had any success in resolving it.
Any takers?
