Server 2008 Upgrade worked... then update killed it!!

hi guys,

i did upgrade windows server 2003 r2 2008. after quite time (overnight) greeted windows server 2008 login box, logged in , services started did else, jumped straight on network , had internet! whilst checking stuff out got .net framework 4.0 setup dialog box appear no buttons, informing me updating installation of .net framework 4.0 , let me know when it's done.

after 10 minutes or running smoothly, several computers on network had succesffully connected , being issued ip's , access network related features normal, .net framework 4.0 prompted me reboot.. did. after reboot nothing hardly works, i'd around 30% of services start , when try manually start remaining i'm greeted 1053 error on each one. no longer connects internet , windows dialog boxes crash, network center.

the problem it's live server , needs running asap! i've tried sfc /scannow , error saying windows resource cannot run, both in safe mode , normal. safe mode allows connect network , more services run, still not 100%. when restarting out of normal mode gets stuck on "stopping group policy..." message on shutdown , hangs, isn't case when leaving safe mode.

because it's fresh upgrade have no backups restore of server 2008, literally worked on initial boot after installing updates has not worked since.

any advice appreciated!

hi,

 

from problem description, understand issue occurred after installing .net framework 4.0 on upgraded windows server 2008 r2.

 

you think issue related installation of .net framework 4.0. have tried uninstall .net framework 4.0 verify issue still remained or not?

 

at same time, noticed 1053 error, please paste detailed information received analyze issue. windows server 2008 r2 dc. right?

 

please make sure have followed procedures migrate roles destination server:

at same time, description, noticed 1 sentence “when restarting out of normal mode gets stuck on "stopping group policy..." message on shutdown , hangs, isn't case when leaving safe mode”. , issue lead event id 1053 – group policy preprocessing (security).

 

and there link reference:
