Hi.
I have a serious problem with a Windows 2000 Server.

·After entering the login & password server does nothing:
- Login dialog disappear
- No message "loading user settings" appear
- Ctrl+Alt+Del does nothing
- Workstation can access server files.
·"Safe mode" works
·"Safe mode with networking" works
· No virus or trojans found
· Reinstallation (repair) does not solve the problem


If I unninstall SP4 all works fine.
Reinstall SP4 make it fail again.

Does anyone know what is happening?

Thanks in advance.
 
Let it boot. Don't log into it. Connect to it from another machine as an
Admin via the "c$" share. Delete the user profiles on the Server, assuming
there is nothing of particular importance in the profiles (there shouldn't
be on a Server). *Don't* bother the Default User or the All Users, just do
the actual users Profiles.

Now login in Safe Mode. Make sure the DNS points to the AD/DNS Server and
*no* other DNS Server.

Now try logging in normally.
