Windows Server 2008 R2/SQL Server 2012 SP1/SharePoint Server 2013 (post PU1)/Project Server 2013
FYI: this could be sharepoint or project - figured I'd start here since it applies to the March PU
I installed the SharePoint and Project 2013 Server and installed the March PU after creating several services and installing project add-ons such as PowerPivot.
I restarted the server after the PU was installed, and ran the SharePoint 2013 Products Configuration Wizard, which failed.
Thinking that the Products Configuration Wizard sometimes is not as good as running a power shell script I went to power shell, and ran the following command
psconfig.exe -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -force -cmd applicationcontent -install -cmd installfeatures, which failed on configuration task 5 of 6.
Did some research and found a command which was said to work, psconfig.exe -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -wait -force, it failed but on configuration task 3 of 4.

for the logs my PSCDiagnostic log has the following warnings/errors
WRN Failed to add the service connection point for this farm
WRN unable to create a service connection point in the current active directory domain. Verify that the SharePoint container exists in the current domain and that you have rights to write to it.

From the upgrade log file the only error in the file is:

I tried all the suggestions in the below link - however I'm still unable to upgrade

I have tried numerous things I have found, however it seems this only occured in SP 2010. This is a fresh install.
I hope I gave enough info to answer questions. I'm stuck, I can get SP/PS up and running after the failed upgrade (it stops the SharePoint - 80 and SharePoint Central Administrator found under IIS Manager).
One odd thing I noticed, under windows services, I changed the services to named service accounts(timer/trace/admin/etc), however after running the psconfig.exe command the services go back to pre CU users (farm admin + local service) I'm unsure why this happens also.
