Most services does not start

This problem occured the first time first of august. I belive it was after
automatic updates.

When starting the server the following message pops up: "At least one driver
or service failed to start during system startup."

When looking in Services most of the automatic services are stopped. It is
not possible to start them.

After some searching I found this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/956189
Thought that was the problem.. But it does not work after reserving ports
and uninstalling updates.

Its also recommended to reinstall SP2, but it seams I can not do that since
the "cryptographic service" is stopped.

Any advice?
 
Re: Most services does not start

Something that messed up,....call MS Support Services.

They do not charge for problems caused by Service Packs or Patches.
"Remind" them that they aren't supposed to charge for that when you call.

Re: Most services does not start

Hello Ola,

What OS are you using? If SBS please post to:
microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs

Also have a look on this one about the cryptographic service:

Re: Most services does not start

I called.

They told me to wait for 8 hours. If I paid (a lot) I would only have to
wait 2 hours.

So, if they can help me I could wait. But if not, I would rather start
re-installing right away..

Thanks for the tip anyway!

Re: Most services does not start

Then call them back and get a different idiot on the phone that has more
sense. Problems related to Service Packs or Security Patches there is no
charge because it is "Microsoft's fault" that it happened.

Almost sounds like the password for the account used to start the
services is changed.... Check to see what account is used to start them...
