I'll put in a &quot;second&quot; on that suggestion. &nbsp;&quot;Installing update 1 of X&quot; means it hasn't started installing them. &nbsp;And the worst that can happen is that there is a half-installed update which must be manually removed with the<a href="http://support.microsoft.com/mats/program_install_and_uninstall/en-us" rel="ugc"> Installation FixIT Tool</a> before it will properly install.

I shutdown our SBS 2008 server in order to install updates. It has been displaying the message &quot;Installing update 1 of 13, do not power off computer&quot; for about 8 hours now and has apparently installed no updates yet. I believe it is hung up, but I hesitate to power off the server, yet I don't know what other choice I have. <br />
<br />
Advice?

SBS 2008 failing to install updates

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).
