Re: the new joined 2003 domain controller cant reboot, help pls

Hey Karen,

Try giving it 5 mins to reboot and check Event Viewer and see if it logs
down anything that hung during the reboot.

Also does it work if you shut down instead?

Are you running WinServer 2003 SP1? Are all of your device drivers updated
(including your BIOS)?

Hi All,

I got a very weird problem with my new configured 2003 Domain Controller,
i cant restart it using "reboot" function. When i chose to restart server
from shutdown screen, it did close down the network connection, log off
etc.Then i could only get a gray screen with my mouse cursor on it,
nothing happened at all. I can restart it by physically press reset button
or power button. I didnt see any error msg on the event log yet...If i
depromote it back to normal memeber server, everything is working okay.
Can your expert give me some suggestions on how to fix it, tks heaps.

Kel
