Very strange problems with SBS2003

[Guest JJ]

"Atleast one service failed" error is coming during startup.

Log on takeeeees long time.

Then application task bar is not working okay, help & support not opening.

Cannot copy/paste anything. No network adapters found.

It kind of looks a bit same than SP2 problems allthough worse.

I tried to alter RSS and offline settings provided by Microsfot pages.

I cannot install any KBxxxx files as it claims that Cryptographic service is

not running. Actually most of the automatic run services are not running !

I cnanot install analyzer either as it won´t let msinstall to run.

Event viewer is not working, it won´t let open any logs.

 

WHat can I do ? It has been working fine over a year and now suddenly it

stopped to open web pages and after reboot all these problems came along.

I haven´t installed anything for very long time. There has only been

automatically downloaded updates installed lately.

(windows updates)

SP2 has been there for awhile already.

 

There is huge amount of data to backup (how?) and I really don´t have time

to format and reinstall everything :(

 

I appreciate any help of course !

 

BR, JJ

Note that SBS is its own beast - do not approach it as you would a non-SBS

server. Try posting in microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs for more expert

help, although I suspect you may need to get someone in to help you out with

it (or call PSS).

Why ask here? This belongs in a SBS group, not this group.
