Guest Warren Post Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 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 ;-)

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.
Guest Raman Katwal Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 Cannot login: Server 2003 - Warren Post Cannot login: Server 2003 - Warren Post 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!
