I am having a very odd problem with logging into my server
under the administrator account. Seems that when I get to
the boot log in screen I input the password, hit enter...
the normal boot screen shows w/ "applying settings" etc,
and then from there it jumps to the log out screens where
it says "saving settings..." and then back to the log in
screen. I have checked the event viewer, nothing, ADU&C
to see if log into local was blocked, and was not. Server
is SP4. Other accounts with admin rights work fine, just
not the administrator, any ideas where else to check? Any
utilities that will rebuild that account?? I have even
tried to restore the docks and settings admin folder from
a back up and still same issue. Help!!
