Server blue screen (not BSOD)

    Yesterday, I tried to log on to a server console (it is a DC) and all I got
    was a blank blue screen (not BSOD). I was able to access it thru RD so I did
    a restart that way. When it came up (seems functional as a file/print/DC), I
    still got the blue screen and now I can't even access it with RD. Not sure
    what to try ?

    Hello Dave,

    So you have no Ctrl+Alt+Del, only the blue window? Can you logon in safe
    mode normally?

    Best regards

    Can you go to another server or machine and use Computer Management, connect to this DC, and look at the Event Viewer to see what is going on? Post the EventID#s, please.
