Cannot login: Server 2003

[Guest Warren Post]

I have just installed Windows Server 2003 R2 x64 SP2. Upon joining it

to the local domain, I received the greeting message and was prompted

to reboot. I did so. Upon reboot and logging in, the machine

immediately displayed a BSOD. I rebooted again. Now I cannot login:

the computer simply returns me to the login screen. This happens using

either of the machine´s two users, trying to log in to either the

domain or the local computer, and either normal or safe mode.

 

In order to join the computer to the domain, I had to previously

change the local security policy per this page:

 

http://www.chicagotech.net/systemerrors.htm#System%20Error%201240%20-%20The%20account%20is%20not%20authorized%20to%20login%20from%20this%20station.

 

What might I try to be able to log in to this box again?

 

Many thanks,

Warren

 

PS - My apologies for posting from Google Groups; I am on a client´s

workstation with no newsreader handy. I do use a newsreader at home,

though ;-)

The usual cause of this is an inability of Windows to locate the file

userinit.exe, probably because the system drive letter has changed.

What drive letter do you see when running this command from a

networked PC?

 

psexec \\ProblemServer -u DomainName\Administrator SomePassword cmd

 

You can get psexec.exe from http://www.sysinternals.com.

Hi...on joining the domain your system file got currupted which you need to repair using some third party software or windows installation disc

 

If you are able to login in command mode try to use thsi command but make sure you have installation media from where you installed the windows server 2003.

 

Insert the disc and type

 

sfc /scannow

 

If it ask you the path of Disc please assign manually....

It will repair the system files.

Solved; thank you. I was not able to login in command mode, so I

rebooted the box from installation CD 1 and chose to repair the

installation. It worked. Thanks again!
