It's tuesday morning. The shit storm that is a Monday is gone. Yay! Sort of... Anyway, a collegue of mine decided to take it upon himself to install Server 2008 R2 SP1. Anyway, upon arriving at work I am greeted with a rather paniced co-worker. After installing SP1 the server refused to boot up. Instead, all you see is a a lovely black screen with an error code C0000034. Nice!
After about 5 minutes of Googling, I discovered the cause and resolution to the error. My questioning of my co-worker confirmed the causes outlined in the article.
Turns out that one should not install SP1 and Windows updates at the same time. Complete one set of updates before continuing with the other.
The fix is rather easy to apply. The solution provides you with a VB script which will remove the pending Windows updates and allow the SP1 to finish installing.
The complete fix can be found here:
