Thanks for the quick reply Mike.
Here is what I have learned thus far (now that I'm on site).
The server apparently had a problem this AM, and the administrator account
(which it was logged in as) never logged off properly. I can see the
Administrator account still logged in at the console in TSAdmin, and
attempts to force the log off process have been unsuccessful. I found an
error stating --Windows cannot unload your classes registry file - it is in
use by other applications or services. The file will be unloaded when it is
no long in use.--
I found a utility UPHClean that is supposed to fix the apparent leak, but
since I'm unable to access control of the desktop, i'm unable to install it.
Enabling the Telnet service to remotely install the app, has proven
unsuccessful.
It looks like the server still has the administrator and other system
accounts still loaded in memory, and therefore Exchange and other services
are unable to start.
Rebooting has not helped. After sitting at the "applying settings" screen
for about 2 hours, I was able to finally see that the system was locked by
the administrator. When I unlocked it, it showed logging off.
2003 must keep profiles loaded accross reboots? Or remembers what it was
doing last before the problem?
This is getting bit long winded, but the additional info may help in a
specific corrective action.
Thanks for your assistance.
