Re: Cannot login locally to the SBS box

Hi Larry,
I disconnected the SBS box from the KVM switch and put in an usb keyboard
and mouse. It works, for now. I'll see if it will keep on working.
If the mainboard is gone I have a problem with my OEM SBS premium I guess.
Touch wood, cross fingers.
Thanks again
Regards
Dieter

With no other info to go on, I think you have a hardware problem. If the
system is non responsive with a plain mouse and keyboard directly
attached, I would shut it down remotely, put an obstacle in the way of it
restarting, like a blank floppy or unplug the drives, and do some test
starts.
Might help to have both ps2 and usb kb and mouse at hand, if the server
will allow either type.
And, if all of that was non functional, put it back together, boot it up
normally so people can work, manage it remotely until the hardware guys
can replace the main board.

Hi Larry,
I thought it was unusual. There are no errors in the event logs.
I changed the KVM switch, cables, mouse and keyboards, the lot to no
avail.
I have a user that uses RWW in the weekend to login to the system but he
does that to his own PC, I hope.
When a user does not logoff from RWW but shuts his PC off, could that
cause such a problem?
It sounds like paranoia but I have no clue.
Thanks for your swift answer.
Regards
Dieter

That is an unusual error. When you connect remotely, are there any
errors in the event logs?
The usual thing we see is the server is responsive from the console, but
the admin is prohibited from local logons.
Any chance the KVM switch is faulty? Or that the keyboard and mouse are
unplugged?

Hello,
1 SBS 2003 SP1 server, 1 Windows 2003 member server as a DC, 15 clients
XP Pro SP2 (working on SP3)
Recently I get this unusual error. I cannot login to the SBS box in the
morning, specially after the weekend. It does not respond to the
CTRL+ALT+DEL or mouse or using the keyboard. As far as I can see
everything works as it should, I can connect using the RWW, there's
nothing in the events log that looks like an error.
All programs work, all connections work.
The only thing I can do is shut it down on the remote, but that makes a
mess of some data people were working on. I asked them to stop working,
I checked that they did but afterwards I had to use the bachup to put
the data back.
The most recent change is I started using Exchange and I'm not 100%
sure that everything is configured as it should.
Please what is the best way to troubleshoot this? (apart from learning
a decent trade.)
Thanks in advance
Regards
Dieter
