I have seen this occasionally on Dell 2400's. It doesn't happen every time, just when it is most annoying. It has done it since W2K RTM for me though.
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2003 4:40 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Jim and Mike We actually had the same problem on a DELL server after a hotfix post SP3 (about the same time as the first RPC patch, or maybe slightly before it). Dell suggested reinstalling the OS. We demoted the domain controller and that worked for a couple of reboots but then it started to fail. In the end we had to rebuild the server, reinstalling everything from scratch. It works fine now, with all patches and fixes except for SP4. Sorry I cannot offer any more promising news. James R.

Only my failure to be able to reboot without manual intervention occurred sometime after SP3 with a patch. The computers seem to start the reboot process but then just end up with a blinking cursor in the upper left hand corner. I have other 3000R's patched the same way and they weren't affected. I have yet to figure this out and will anxiously await any answers you get from this mailing list.
