Hi,

My Windows 2003 server appears to running as usual. How can I regain access

to the desktop? Any ideas anyone?

Thanks,

IT

You could remove the (probably corrupt) profile and let it create a new one.

Right. I thought about that. The only problem I have is I can't even log

back in (direct connection with keyboad and mouse or via RDP) because the

login screen is stale. I have not try force reboot yet. I have a feeling

that the server won't response eight.

Try a remote reboot from another server or an XP client (with the

shutdown command), then connect to the file system (the C$ share)

and delete the profile.

Vera, I've already tried that with RDP and VNC Viewer. I can connect to the

default file share (C$) without any problem though.

I used psshutdow.exe and got this:

 

--------- E:\PsTools>psshutdown -f -o \\PW-fp2

 

PsShutdown v2.52 - Shutdown, logoff and power manage local and remote systems

Error communicating with psshutdown service on PW-FP2. The system may

not have been shutdown:

The pipe has been ended.------------------

 

So I'm totally stuck. Help please.

Re: RDP stucked in "loading your settings" forever

 

Seems you need to walk over to the server and do a hard reboot.

After that, connect to the C share and delete the profile.

RE: RDP stucked in "loading your settings" forever

 

I had to do a hard reboot and things were back to normal.

Doee anyone know what port or services PSSHUTDOWN.exe uses? I keep getting

this error message when I issue this commande:

 

E:\PsTools>psshutdown -f -o \\pw-fp2

 

PsShutdown v2.52 - Shutdown, logoff and power manage local and remote systems

Copyright © 1999-2006 Mark Russinovich

Sysinternals - http://www.sysinternals.com

 

Error communicating with psshutdown service on PW-FP2. The system may

not have been shutdown:

The pipe has been ended.

 

It wasn't able to communicate with this server. However, this command works

on other machines without an issue.

Thank you for your input,
