My Server wants to shutdown forcefully

    Hi guys
    I need your urgent contributions please. I manage a Windows server 2003.
    Recently when we wanted to do a backup job on it, the server was already
    locked and when it was unlocked instead to resume to desktop it presented the
    shutdown window and when the process was cancelled it went into locked state
    again.
    my problem is how to make it resume to desktop for me to carry out
    appropriate troubleshooting.
    thanks folks.

    Challenges are bound to come our way
    But do we have to run from them?
    I dont think so
    I think they make up a professional

    Hello Abifol,

    What do you mean with the "the server was already locked"? Did you run the
    backup logged in with a user account or with a scheduled task without being
    logged in?

    Best regards

    Do you have the option to open a command window and type in:
    shutdown /a

    Can you remote into the server and try it?
