Blank Desktop or No Desktop After Logon to Windows 2000

Symptom: After logon to W2K, you may see a blank desktop or no desktop. If you use CTRL+ALT+DELETE to start Task Manager, you may find that Explorer.exe is not listed in the list of running tasks or processes. Starting a new instance of Explorer.exe does not resolve the issue.

Resolution: open Task Manager>File>New Task (Run). Type cmd.exe, and then press ENTER.  If necessary, change to the %SystemRoot% folder. This is typically the Winnt or Windows folder. Rename the Shdocvw.dll file by typing ren shdocvw.dll shdocvw.old. Restart the computer.

Note: Other older files that may cause problems with Explorer.exe or the shell if they are located in %SystemRoot% folder: Browseui.dll, Comctl32.dll, Comdlg32.dll, Mlang.dll, Ole32.dll, Oleaut32.dll, Shdocvw.dll, Shell32.dll, Shlwapi.dll, Urlmon.dll, Wininet.dll, Setupapi.dll.

Blue screen while logon

Symptom: you get a blue screen while logon one of the users. However other users work fine.

Cause:  the profile was damaged. For consultants, refer to 083104TB

Can't logon NT domain - "Windows cannot connect to the domain"

Symptoms: After you join a Windows XP client to a Windows NT  domain, the client may be unable to log on to the domain.
1. You may receive the following error message: Windows cannot connect to the domain either because the domain controller is down or otherwise unavailable or because your computer account was not found.
2. You may receive Event ID 5723:  "The session setup from the computer Computername failed to authenticate. The name of the account referenced in the security database is Computername. The following error occurred: Access is denied."
3. Or Event ID: 3227, Event Source: NETLOGON: "The session setup to the Windows NT or Windows 2000 domain controller \\Server for the domain Domainname failed because \\Server does not support signing or sealing the Netlogon session. Either upgrade the domain controller or set the RequireSignOrSeal registry entry on this machine to 0."

Resolutions: This behavior occurs because the Windows XP client tries to sign or seal the secure channel. Windows XP does this by default. However, Windows NT  is not configured to do this by default. To resolve this issue, open Local Security Policy from Administrative Tools. Under the Local Policies\Security Options node, double-click the Domain Member:Digitally encrypt or sign secure channel data (always) policy to open it and click Disabled.

Logon unsuccessful: The user name you typed is the same as the user name you logged in with

Cause: it could be the name resolution issue, especially DNS issue.

Symptom: When attempting to logon using the Terminal Services client, you may receive the following error message: "Logon Message: You do not have access to logon to this session".

Resolution: By default, TS connection security setting allows only administrators to log on. To set custom TS connection permissions, go to Terminal Services Configuration>Connections folder. Right-click the connection (RDP-TCP)>Properties>Permissions, add the users or/and groups that needs access to this connection.

No local computer logon option on one of the servers

Q: When I tried to logon one of our servers locally, I found that there isn't local computer name there. Why?

A: If this is domain comptroller, it won't show the computer name.

No logon dialog at startup

Symptoms: When you start Windows, you may not receive a  logon dialog box, or you may receive one of the following error messages:
"No network provider accepted the given network path". And "The operation being requested was not performed because the user has not logged on to the network. The specified service does not exist". Or, the Change Passwords tab may be missing from the Passwords Properties dialog box. Note that this symptom occurs only if the second cause listed below is in effect. In addition, if you are not prompted to log on and then you immediately log off, you will then receive a prompt to log on.

Causes:

1) The Primary Network Logon setting is not set correctly.
2) AutoLogon is enabled.
3) Group Policy may disable the logon dialog box.

You do not have permission to change your password.

This is a misleading message that really means that you didn't enter an acceptable password.
