Screen Blank after reboot

[Guest Elbryyan]

I have a win2003 server running Citrix. I have a script that performs the

tssshutdown /restart command on the server overnight each night which has

been working great for years. Now when the server reboots the screen is

completely blank or just shows a green background and you can get the login

prompt to appear by hitting the 'ctrl-alt-del' keys but the server does not

accept Ica/rdp connections. Once I restart the server from the menu it works

properly again. Is this a known issue from a patch? Any help appreciated to

diagnose the issue.

Sounds like the server never really goes down.

Which SP are you running?

Have you made sure in your script that you first reset all

sessions?

I have not. What is the command for that?
