SBS locked me out ? oh and eveyone including administrator aswell.

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Ok this morning I was using my PC as normal (vista) and it told me I needed
to lock and unlock because I needed to reauthenticate.

So I thought ok, whatever, only it wouldn't accept my password. so I tried
the admin and another user, all failed.

SO I walked over to the server, and attempted to login as administrator,
same thing.


OOOKAAAYY..

I shutdown the server (pulled the plug.) And rebooted in AD restore mode and restored the
system state to last night, rebooted and all was fine.

I probably should have just done a normal reboot to see if that would fix it
but I was kind of thinking maybe I has been hacked!

Can active directory stop working in SBS and prevent all logins? Also my
Worry free trend ran to the end of its grace period (last night) I wonder if
it broke my server when it disabled itself.

It's all go now just don't understand why it stopped. (I checked the
security logs but there was no obvious hacking attempt, I have closed port
80, some idiot (me) left that open sometime ago.)
