I have a Windows 2003 Server Standard edition that
does not seem to want to install patches after I
loaded the Windows 2003 bastion host security template
available from Microsoft at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=14845. I used
version 1.3 which is the most recent revision. I have
tried both Windows update and manually installing
patches. In both cases it goes through the install
process very slowly (1+ hour for a single patch) and
then at the very end the install hangs without a
completion screen. The patched do appear to install
correctly if I check versions on replaced files.

This is installed on a Compaq Proliant ML350. I only
mention this because I have installed the same
security template on a test server before implementing
in production and I do not recall this behavior. The
test server was actually standard PC hardware so that
may be causing a difference in behavior. This server
runs as my firewall. The firewall software is the
only software loaded on top of the OS. I had the
firewall software loaded on my test server so I really
don't think it is the problem.

I have done numerous searches on the web trying to
find some explanation but I can't seem to find this
problem documented anywhere. Has anyone seen this
before?

Thanks

Daniel Owen
