Good-evening everyone, I posted this earlier and several people tried to
help me out. I was wonder if someone can help me out with Windows
Small Business Server 2000 domain controller and client desktop logon with
administrator account. I have a domain controller which has been in
operation for quite some time. The original administrator account has been
renamed for security as is all our other clients ever since the beginning of
the server's life span. But when I try to use the account to login to any
client machine joined to the domain, whether it be a new install or not, the
system stalls at Loading profile and settings....
window, but the mouse is still active, and the blue animated line on the
window still scrolls. When I remove the Home Folder of the administrator
account it works fine. But when I add back the home folder it fails. The
Home Folder is a network share. After waiting for 30 min or so, the login
succeeds and all the mappings are correct. I have a feeling that the login
is trying to query the AD for this property and is not returning the value
of the Home Folder. I can of course still login to the Server and login
to server using Terminal Services with this renamed administrator account.
Any help would be great. Thanks.
