Newly built WIN 2003 server, twenty+ services fail to start, but can be started manually with no issues. This started after installing WSUS SP 2 - any ideas?

Nope, Have checked all the event logs and absolutely nothing shows up, that is what's bugging me. These automatic services fail (20+), but you can fire them up manually. I have never seen this in the last 14 years, I'm not happy about having to rebuild this server from scratch, rats.

But thanks for the pointer.
