Hi Ripon Thanks for your reply. I can only suggest you raise an incident with PSS at Microsoft. You are in a stronger position than the rest of us if you are seeing this on a regular basis, as I\we only see it on average every once in a few weeks. It has been as long as few as months between occurrences for me so I have never been in a position to progress it before. If you do call PSS and get an answer could you let us know please. Many thanks in advance. Feel free to get back to me if I can do anything else in the meantime. Regards, Paul Lemonidis. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ripon Bahl To: [ExchangeList] Sent: Saturday, May 07, 2005 8:50 AM Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Problem in Windows 2003 http://www.MSExchange.org/ Hi paul I totally agree with you. Although we are running Customized VNC on the servers but I dn't think its causing problem as the software has been working on the server from last 6 months. This erratic behavior of server is causing a lot of problem to me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: paul_lemonidis@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:paul_lemonidis@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, May 04, 2005 5:08 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Problem in Windows 2003 http://www.MSExchange.org/ Hi Ripon I have seen this a number of times and no one seems to have an answer including PSS. I know of at least 7 or 8 people that have also seen this but as yet no one seems any the wiser. I have seen it on both DC's and member servers. The only vaguely consistent trait may be TightVNC. Do you it installed by any chance? I was hoping SP1 might resolve this but it is so erratic in most cases that it is almost impossible to trace. Any more ideas greatly appreciated.

All the servers are running with latest security patches. The problem occur once in a week . Problem : After logging off the username and password area in the winlogon screen grey out. It become disable and hence no logon locally to the server can be made. All other services of server are running and working fine. There is no error log in the event viewer .
