I have a friend who is having a strange problem. He is an
administrator for a win2000 advanced server. It is a web
server with SQL server 2000 as its only application. It is
behind 2 firewalls and the only downloads its receives are
patches, etc.

His problem is that he puts in his password in the logon
screen.
he receives a message that personal settings are being
loaded.
a few seconds later he receives a message that his
personal settings are being saved.
then he is back at the "hit Ctrl-Alt-Del to logon" screen.

Now he is one of 3 administrators running this server
(this is a state-owned server that contains several very
large general information databases) and one other
administrator is having identical problems. However there
is one who can still get in ok. He checked the events log
and it says that there was a successfull login and a few
seconds later a successful logout.

To complicate matters, all access is by VPN remote
terminal connections. the physical server is locked up and
access isn't easily obtained and almost always a last
resort that is time-consuming, expensive and generally not
needed.

any help, ideas, or related info would be greatly
appreciated.
 
hello,
this problem may be due to security settings. if
there is no problem and if there are no personnel files in
the profile, why dont you delete your profile and try to
login? I think it will work.

Ran into the same problem.... Was on a TS in application mode. What
happened is I never bought any licenses for it, so my 90 "trial" was up
and it wouldn't let me log on.
