Hello yifli,

 

Did you change something before, upgrades, patches etc.? Try out Last known

good configuration or safe mode.

 

Best regards

unplug the network cable and try again, i could be that it's trying to apply

something from the network at startup.

Re: can not start Windows 2003 server. Pls help

 

hello,

 

9 times over 10, it comes from a bad network configuration:

-Bad DNS (not a DC dns, or a dc not having itself as primary DNS)

-Two network cards, but the main one not primary (in the advanced tab of the

network pane)

 

any eventlog entry (error...) ?
