I just applied these MS updates to two(2) Win2k3 Standard Edition servers
both running MS Exchange 2003.
One came up no problem. The other allows a terminal session but will just
spin after accepting login credentials - "Applying Computer Settings"
The shutdown command is not being allowed due to the server doing some other
higher processing (maybe the terminal session loop?!?).

I thought I could restart TS via the Manage Computer MMC but this service
has all the control options grayed out. It was set to Manual startup and so
I tried to change it to Automatic but after I applied it the MMC just hung.
So I have seen this in 50% of my servers. I am running RTM version with all
prior updates.
