Guest Wowbagger Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 My server did a hard stop this afternoon (0x000000 from what I could see). The machine rebooted but when I logged on the machine sat at "Applying your personal settings" for 20 minutes before I forced a hard reset, which of course made the server run a chkdsk on the volume that takes well over 30 minutes to complete. What makes a server lock up on "Applying... "? I've seen it before and could only fix it by rebooting into safe mode, logging on, then immediately rebooting normally. I've found many fixes for the problem for client machines, but not a single fix for when a 2003 server is doing it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Guest Meinolf Weber Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 Re: Applying your personal settings Hello Wowbagger" privacy, please, Firstly, start the server as normal, without interfering anything. Do not make a hard shutdown during startup, let it run. I don't know if you have configured the policy, "Shutdown server when security log is full". If yes it takes really long for a startup and you also have to do additional steps to get it back running correctly. This shutdown looks like a BSOD, but the description in the window states exactly this message.

Guest Wowbagger Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 Re: Applying your personal settings That policy is not enabled. When the server hangs on the applying personal settings screen what else can I do besides a hard shutdown?

Guest Meinolf Weber Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 Re: Applying your personal settings Hello Wowbagger" privacy, please, Well, 20 minutes sounds much, but i would give it more time. Anyway, did you try to map from another machine and delete your profile this way, so that not the profile form the account you are using is preventing the login?

Guest Wowbagger Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 Re: Applying your personal settings Deleting the Administrator account probably wouldn't be in my best interest, and that's the account that was holding things up.
