I seem to be having the a similar problem to Steve. I have a bunch of people who were able to log into my W2k M1.8 server and they are working fine. Now when users try to log in, they type in username and pass and then the session just locks up. I tried hitting ctrl-f1 but that doesn't do anything. I checked and there are no print jobs stuck but I restarted the Spooler service anyway but that didn't make a difference. Any ideas????

Thanks for the reply Rick,=3D20 It looks like the cause of the problem is a 30Mb spool file that is =3D being generated from a 529k drawing in Voloview!

Hi, What you're actually seeing is that the login process isn't completing. =3D If you use ctrl-F1 (ICA session) or ctrl-alt-delete (console) and start a =3D new task (explorer) you'll probably get a desktop. Causes can vary, but I'd check out the IMA service and the local host = =3D cache. If the login process accesses network resources that aren't available, =3D you could also see this sort of problem. Actaually had an instance today where a server appeared to freeze, =3D problem was due to a user account having expired, causing authentication errors against a backend file server and essentially blocking all i/o to that server. Checked the eventlog (security) on the file server and it was =3D full of authentication errors. Logged that user off, and the server =3D recovered. regards, Rick Ulrich Mack rmack@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:rmack@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>=3D20 Volante Systems 18 Heussler Terrace Milton 4064, Queensland Australia tel +61 7 32467777 -----Original Message----- From: Steve Rance [mailto:Steve.Rance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, February 05, 2003 20:33 To: Thin @ Freelists (E-mail) Subject: [THIN] Citrix locking up... (1 Citrix Server, Windows 2000 SP2,Metaframe XPs FR2) This morning the Citrix server is regularly locking up. Users that are =3D =3D3D currently in Citrix the applications running freeze, but they = can start =3D =3D3D new applications from the start menu which then freeze themselvies after =3D =3D3D a few minutes. =3D3D20 Anyone trying to log in, either via the Console, RDP, or ICA, it allows =3D =3D3D the userid and password to be entered but then hangs with just = the =3D3D desktop background showing. The only thing that I can do then is reboot =3D =3D3D the server. Once the server is in this state, I have managed to launch Task Manager, =3D =3D3D and the CPU usage is around 90% to 95% idle and memory usage = is low. The only thing that appears in the event log prior the server getting in =3D =3D3D this state is the informational application log message: Source: Winlogon Event ID: 1002 Description: The shell stopped unexpectedly and Explorer.exe was =3D3D restarted. The server has now done this 4 times in the last 2 hours. Any ideas as to why this is happening, or any pointers to=3D3D20 I would be very grateful for any help on this!
