Configuring updates: Stage 3 of 3 - 53% complete. Do not turn off your computer - endless loop

Configuring updates: Stage 3 of 3 - 53% complete. Do not turn off your computer - endless loop

 

It is quite easy to reproduce this problem on my Proliant DL360 G5. After

installing Windows 2008 Enterprise, and enable Hyper-V, then doing Windows

Updates, the next restart will bring the server into forever loop at

"Configuring updates: Stage 3 of 3 - 53% complete. Do not turn off your

computer". I have to force power off to end it but when the computer start

up again, it will go back into this loop. Doing a Google search, I found

other people are also facing the same problem, so it seems to be a serious

bug in Windows 2008. Has there been any solution yet?

The methods in KB949358 can break the loop but can't solve the problem. I am

not able to remove the Hyper-V role, neither can I use it. In the server

manager, when you open up "Roles", it says "Roles: Error". When I clicked on

Error Details, it popup a dialog: "Unexpected error refreshing server

manager: Catastrophic failure (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8000FFFF

(E_UNEXPECTED))." When I opened up Hyper-V Manager, and clicked on Virtual

Network Manager, it says "There was an error enumerating the machine's

network switches. Make sure the Hyper-V networking service is installed and

working properly."

 

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950792/en-us mentions about this problem and

saying the cause is HP Network Configuration Utility, but I checked my

server never have HP Network Configuration Utility installed.
