      Lovely... plenty of space on a 64-bit OS. Uninstalled the controller, disabled the service, and rebooting now. Exactly the reason I do a maintenance window the night before a weekly visit first thing in the morning. :unamused_face:

        Maybe a dumb question, but are you running as admin or allowing through UAC?

        Not a dumb question, but yes. Also, Windows Server 2008 R2.

          I absolutely love that this is a physical system with no iDRAC/iLO configured, and I can't monitor the reboot past ping -t. I'm missing virtualization right now.

            What's stopping you from adding the Hyper-V role now? I know it's not ideal, but at least it would get you virtualized.

              Doing a P2V on everything you mean?

                I had to add the Hyper-V role to a 2012 box recently. It's just like adding any other role and a reboot. Nothing special that you have to actually do for the P2V side of things. If you didn't know what you did, you wouldn't even realize there was a difference.

                Of course after that, you want to backup the box and install the latest Hyper-V when you can, but that can be planned out later.

                I'm interested to find out what the permissions issue is.

                  I understand that installing the role really just installs Hyper-V to bare metal and then Windows Server then runs as a VM on top. But I don't understand how that helps to virtualize it since it is not managed within Hyper-V, at least no VHDs in the same way that you would manage them having created a new VM.

                    Well, it initialized and took a long time to start. DB migrated.

                    Figured out what was going on I believe. Started the service and everything is moving along.

                      Did you read the release notes? They stated that the database migration will be long.

                        It wasn't as long as I expected. The controller starting took longer than expected though.

                          This error usually means the service was still running...

                            I'd have figured it would terminate as part of the upgrade. I figured wrong!

                              It never does in Windows 😞 In Linux it works great.
