Username and Password greyed out

[Guest Jon]

Here's one I've never run across before. I have a Windows 2003/SP2 domain

controller that I remotely manage via logmein IT-Reach. The client called

and said they couldn't log into the machine locally because the username and

password boxes were greyed out. I tried to log in via logmein IT-Reach. I

got the same thing. Straight RDP, same thing from both inside and outside the

network. I'm not finding much on the net about it. This is the only server

on this segment. Running AD, F&P, App, DNS, DHCP. I was hoping someone here

has seen this before. The only solution I've found so far is to do a

cold-start.

 

 

 

TIA

Hello Jon,

 

This can happen when other remote connection software is running on the machines.

 

Have a look at this posting:
