I have a win2k server running TS as an app server. Recently the Admin account
stall at a blue background and won't finish loading the profile. All the
services can still operate. The users can still connect but I have no
functioning user account.

I have tried deleteing and renameing the adminf profile folder in Safe Mode.
Since Windows usually recreates profiles when that happens. No luck.


Has anyone seen this before.
 
Can you attach via a remote computer? Create a secondary admin account from
the network and attach?

To create a local admin account remotely
Go to another server or workstation:
Right click on "My Computer"
Manage / Right Click on "Computer Management (Local)" Select "Connect to
Another Computer" and enter the new computer name. If it doesn't ask for
credentials then before you attach map a drive to the admin share (C$) and
attach as the admin.

You should now be able to go to Local Users and Groups and create a new user
and elevate its permissions via adding to the adminstrators group.

Once you have done this you should be able to create another local admin
user. This way if you are having trouble with the network admin you may be
able to bypass this and log on locally.
