Check to see if the pool is stopping. If it keeps stopping, you're going to have to dig into the event viewer to find out why. You could also try the bypassreboot and bypassdbupdate keys, and run the patch again. It can sometimes fix issues like that but not always. If the pool stops, you'll get the 503.
This screenshot is from a 5.5 system. Let me try and find one of our 5.2 systems to see what the pool is set to.
Edit: Yes, our 5.2 machines are set to use v2.0. The application pool is set with these settings:
Framework 2.0.50727
Pipeline mode: Integrated
Start application pool immediately checked
Set to use LocalSystem account
Is the application pool staying running or when you check on it is it stopped? If it keeps stopping you might have to do an event viewer dive to try and figure out why.
Staying running and still getting a 503 error huh. If you pull up the page, get a 503, and the pool is still running, I would still suggest taking a look in the event viewer. I haven't seen a 503 except when it was an application pool problem. That doesn't mean it can't be something else, but that has been what it was every time I've seen this.
