Guest robr Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 I've installed many service packs, but never this particular one and this just doesn't seem right. I'm using RDP to install SP2 and it completed downloading and started installing approximately 3 hours ago and the progress bar is maybe 15% of the way done. It does seem to still be running. This is a brand new clean Server 2003 install, the very first thing I did after installing was run Windows Update. This is on a Dell PowerEdge 2850 with 4gig of memory and a 15K SCSI drive. Any ideas or is this actually "normal"?

Guest robr Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 Re: Server 2003 R2 x64 SP2 taking forever to install Yes I am, that's how I can see the progress. Ah!!! Nevermind, there WAS a prompt but it was hidden behind the Windows Update IE window. *SLAP* On Sep 20, 3:06 pm, "Mathieu CHATEAU" <gollum...@free.fr> wrote: > Hello, > > are you connected with /console ? > It may be asking something and waiting for an answer ;) > > -- > Cordialement, > Mathieu CHATEAUhttp://lordoftheping.blogspot.com > > "robr" <rrothb...@gmail.com> wrote in message > > news:1190314923.956905.142120@19g2000hsx.googlegroups.com... > > > I've installed many service packs, but never this particular one and > > this just doesn't seem right.
