Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 Log file..?

[Guest VorTechS]

Hi,

 

I just tried installing Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 from download

notifications and the installer looks to get pretty much near the end and

then fails with a generic message.

 

I couldn't see anything in the event logs illustrating what the problem

was... where can I find the logs?

 

TIA

Should be svcpack.log in the %systemroot% directory.

Hello VorTechS,

 

Under C:\WINDOWS you can find svcpack.log

Looks like WMI is broken. This article may sort it for you.
