Installed SP1 for Windows 2000 onto a Compaq Proliant Server running Windows 2000 Advanced Server. After reboot server boots normally until the splash screen with the message 'preparing network settings' appears, the systems just hangs at this pointwith the message above. Only able to reboot.
Tried Last Known Good Config with same result. I can boot in safe mode to the logon screen ok but no network capability.
I have installed SP1 on three other servers without incident...there's always one!
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers Scott

In the end I had to run the repair option on the W2K AdSvr install disk. I didn't have an ERD so had to replace all files. This did the trick, luckily!!! My problem is a good advert fro ERDs and good backups!
