Is seamless applications an options? We use them at my work and it eliminates many issues like that. But I have had some apps that require the desktop being loaded and these came in real handy... http://www.jsiinc.com/suba/tip0000/rh0050.htm http://www.jsiinc.com/suba/tip0200/rh0215.htm Hope this helps..

From reading your other posts .. Isn't this your DC for your domain? That will take some time to load.. Just my 2 cents...

I looked into that stop error and found several hits... you may want to try the same and compare the solutions to see if any of them might be close to solving your problem. This looks like a possible problem.. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308299 Hope this helps..

I have an issue where I need to get information on specific users in my domain. NT 4.0 with lots of 2k file servers. I need to enumerate a list of access rights to shares. Not by group membership. I need to see if that person has access to a share by his\her account. I have tried several different resource kit tools but most of them just give me group membership. If more info is needed please let me know... and thanks ahead of time.

oH! sounds like fun. Well, I wouldn't worrie with defrag "just my opionion". I would start with the exchange server and make sure that it is all up to date w/ patches and such. Another thing is when you are getting mem. errors and blue screens. I wouldn't count out hardware issues. good luck ... and let us know how it goes. Oh... depending on the $$$ flow .. if you can I would seperate the sql stuff from the exchange.

if you can access the pc from the network... use regedt32 to connect to the problem computer and check the user init path statment.. basically make sure that the path is fully qulified Here is an example.... Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] "Userinit"="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\userinit.exe,"

tarun... fellow AA fan huh? havn't played in a while but love that game....

need more info... check the disk space... what is the server used for? file sharing... applications. RDP ? what are the specs. on the box? hardware RAID etc....... Check the event viewer for errors.... You made a comment about the sever having multiple issues.... hope this helps a litte...

I use the at command to automate a remote site that has about 300 computers.... these machines are just sitting there incase of an emergency. I have a .bat file w/ all the machine names along w/ a command. I have them rebooting twice a day and setting the time wich is important. at xcopy find if you put these together in a file alot can be accomplished with just a double click. Here is an exp. this will report to you all scheduled tasks that are set on each machine..... and redirect the output to a log on a share with the file name at.log. at \\computername >>"\\servername\sharename\at.log" at \\computername >>"\\servername\sharename\at.log" at \\computername >>"\\servername\sharename\at.log" at \\computername >>"\\servername\sharename\at.log" at \\computername >>"\\servername\sharename\at.log" at \\computername >>"\\servername\sharename\at.log"
