Hi All,
I have a problem with one of my SBS server installations,
it is as follows:
sometimes when the server is rebooted or shut down and
stared up again, i am unable to logon to it using the
Administrator account and for that matter any other
account with Admin rights. After a second reboot this
normally clears.
I also get messages in the event viewer around the same
time:
Event Type: Error

Event Category: None

and many more but you get the idea... most are down to
logon failure as for some reason it would seem that the
localsystem account has been disabled.
I am not running IPSec on this server! but i am under the
impression that this is causing the fault from the above
messages
normally after this has happened the adminsitrator
profile on the server has been reset, ie outlook
settings, backgrounds etc.
I attempted to apply SP1a to it yesterday and it kept
telling me that it was not an SBS server, i even tried
performing maintenance on the installation and this did
not help, as yet i am unable to apply SP1a
Windows is SP4 and i belive the Exchange is SP3 (by the
OWA screen) the server runs fine normally but i would
like to get this resolved, does anyone have any ideas??
help would be appreciated
i have not contacted MS yet about this problem and i am
unable thus far to find any information about this
particular problem so i though i would try here.
TIA
Regards
Chris
