Windows Server 2011 SBS won't boot after updates....

I just installed a Windows 2011 SBS Standard server a few days ago. It was running fine until I installed Windows updates and rebooted last night. Now it loads until I see the arrow but then reboots itself. I've tried every safe mode boot option and repair option but no luck. Any other ideas?

Hello,

Try safe mode with networking.

Did you manage to get a backup of the server?  Do you know what updates were applied?

Tried safe mode with networking. I have a backup but I really don't want to have to reload Windows. There was 99 updates. I don't know what all they were.
I am able to get into Directory Restore Mode and on to the desktop but when I reboot again, the same thing happens.
You can try to boot with ERD commander and remove the updates that you installed yesterday. Hope this will fix your problem ...
I have a call in with Microsoft Professional Support....
