Hi Jim and Mike
We actually had the same problem on a DELL server after a hotfix post SP3
(about the same time as the first RPC patch, or maybe slightly before it).
Dell suggested reinstalling the OS. We demoted the domain controller and
that worked for a couple of reboots but then it started to fail. In the
end we had to rebuild the server, reinstalling everything from scratch. It
works fine now, with all patches and fixes except for SP4.
Sorry I cannot offer any more promising news.

Hi Jim,
I've got the same problem with a Compaq 1850R and a Compaq 3000R. Only
my failure to be able to reboot without manual intervention occurred
sometime after SP3 with a patch. The computers seem to start the reboot
process but then just end up with a blinking cursor in the upper left hand
corner. I have other 3000R's patched the same way and they weren't
affected. I have yet to figure this out and will anxiously await any
answers you get from this mailing list.
