I will spell it out for you in detail:
1. The file userinit.exe must exist.
2. It must be in the location indicated by this registry key.
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows NT/Current Version/Winlogon/Userinit
3. It must be intact.
4. If you think that it may be corrupted then you can
replace it with its original from your CD. Make sure to
keep the original!
5. The system drive letter must be C: (unless you have a
totally non-standard installation).
6. You can check the system drive letter with a Command
Prompt that you run on the problem server, using
psexec.exe.
If the above instructions make no sense then I recommend
that you ask an experienced server administrator to assist you.

Hello again..Thanks for your time here...
Now can I simply copy the good files from the CD or from one of the good
systems in order to replace the corrupted ones and see if this issue gets
addressed.

Don't forget to check the other items I mention in my
first reply. They must ALL be correct!

Hello guys
I have a problem with a server in one of our remote sites. We
normally
connect to this server using VNC. for the last two weeks we are
unable
to
log
on into it, basically what's happening is that when you type your
credentials
(Username/Password) the system attempts to log you on but instead of
loading
the desktop, it takes you back to "press contrl Alt and Delete"
window.
All
network shares can be accessed without any problems, is just the
fact
that
we
are unable to log on to the server that is presenting an issue. I
have
also
tried Remote Desktop and reboot the machine but didn't work either.
I
there
any way to solve this problem remotely (may be through the comand
line)
without having to phisically repari the system installation.
Another question... is there any way to see/and or stop running
services
on
a remote system.
Thanks and regards
EDSON
This usually happens when the file userinit.exe is not in its
expected place or if the file is corrupted. Its location is
shown here:
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows NT/Current Version/Winlogon/Userinit
You should be able to examine the file by looking at C$
on the remote machine, and to check the registry entry
by opening the registry remotely. By running a Command
Prompt under psexec.exe (www.sysinternals.com), you
can check that the system drive letter is correct - it is in
most cases C:.
You can start/stop services with sc.exe, or with net start/stop
while running a Command Prompt remotely with psexec.exe.
