Hi there,
I've got a problem that I've had start to happen on two of
my WS2003 boxes. They are both virtually identical build,
no special policies or changes.. vanilla.
When I press CTRL+ALT+DEL, the logon box appears, but the
username and password boxes are greyed out. The domain box
is still there, and you can select either the current
domain or blank, fine.
When I use a Remote Desktop Connection to get to the
server (I normally just use VNC) I get a normal logon box,
and am able to logon to the server. It appears just to
happen when you try to logon interactively.
I did try rebooting one of the affected servers last night
remotely, and then found it hung at the "Applying Computer
Settings" section. After a two and half hour drive to the
site at 11pm, I managed to get it working only by doing a
safe mode boot and disabling unneccesary services, then
gradually re-enabling them. As yet I can't find the cause
of that problem.
I had tried searching newsgroups etc for about two weeks
before I took the plunge to reboot the first affected
server, and judging by the problems I had last night, I'd
rather not do it on the other remote server.
Any other information you want, just shout.
Regards,
Paul
