Remote Server: Please wait for the System Event Notification Service
- by Jeff Handley
I was rebooting a remote server (Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard) over remote desktop and the session now shows the blue screen during the shutdown sequence, and the message "Please wait for the System Event Notification Service..."
It seems that everything is still running on the server (for instance, http://jeffhandley.com is still responding), but I need to get the machine to finish the reboot sequence.
How can I force the machine past this point? It's been stuck there for about 30 minutes.
