Guest pdx Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 We have a w2k3 sp1 DC which sits at a blank desktop (no icons), Ctrl+Alt+Del doesnt bring up the Gina. DCPromo demote on the machine failed (I wasn't there and don't have the error message). Restart of the server does produce the Gina and logon is possible but after 20-30 minutes machine reverts to blank desktop. There were a large number of 1030/1058 errors referring to the default domain policy (31B2F340-....). Accessing the services applet from a remote machine showed that the TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper Service wasn't running (although it was set to Automatic startup). After starting the service and rebooting the 1030/1058 errors were eliminated and "gpupdate /force" ran successfully but after an interval of time back to the blank desktop and the Netbios Helper Service was no longer running. What could be causing the the TCP/IP Netbios Helper service to stop? How is this related - if it is - to failed dcpromo demote? Thanks
