On the phone with PSS due to SP2 causing mass problems with a clients SBS 2008 setup. Sharepoint pulls up blank..OWA, "service not available..then it is..then its not, missing icons..etc, Connect script doesn't work, general slowness.... Removed SP2 all works perfectly. Reinstall..same problem. Not many error logs other than the expected ones.. A few IIS cannot set bandwidth, connection throttling, etc..
Found issues like this all over the Internet in the last couple of weeks with all sorts of wacky solutions... After 8 hours of PSS, several tier 2 and tier 3 apparently...Remove the Kernel Authentication patch, 973917, then remove SP2..Then reinstall SP2, and then reinstall 973917.. Oh yeah then had to reinstall Exchange Rollup 9 because we kept getting Outlook prompts for reauthentication after all of that...Then the rest of the patches that came out afterwards for 2008.. Told the tech when they broke all this down, (sarcastically) "Sure..Whats another service pack?" After removing Sp2 twice, reinstalling twice, sure why not......then... she began to explain what a service pack is and why they are important... They don't get jokes very well. I was so tired at this point, I just let her ramble while my mind went off to a comforter, soft pillow and the gentle sounds of my wife sleeping... Just thought I would share my pain, and who knows..maybe this may happen to you in the near future and you will have a leg up.
