In-place upgrade of W2k3 to W2k8 hangs

the setupact.log file generated during upgrading indicates normal. moreover, notice have launched fresh setup. based on situation, it's due third-party applications, incompatible windows server 2008. in way, setupact.log not enough indicate root cause of 'hang' issue.

 

if possible, suggest performing clean setup avoid issue. otherwise, solidly troubleshoot kind of hang issue, need analyze crashed dump file. unfortunately, debugging beyond can in forum. therefore, please contact microsoft customer service , support (css) via telephone dedicated support professional can assist request. obtain phone numbers specific technology request please take @ web site listed below:
