Help with login problem: have I been hacked?

N

Nick Nguyen

I did a remote shutdown using the tsshutdn /reboot command, and now I can't
login to my machine remotely. It will connect, show "Loading your Personal
Settings" then immediately go to "Saving Your Personal Settings" and kicks
me off. I can login fine locally, and I don't have any login scripts or
user profiles set. I've seen this a number of times in the newsgroups but
no resolutions. I hope someone will be the first to figure this out for
me.

Thanks again,

-Nick

Nope. I am set up so that only Administrators can log in remotely, and
none of my Admin accounts can log in, I even tried creating new admins and
deleting profiles.

What was the cause for the original reboot? Are there any error messages in the event log when you logon? Do you have a vaild backup from before this started happening

What OS, SP and what other services does this machine run

The cause was that I was noticing some slowness on my IIS server. The
event log is pretty clean, nothing that wasn't there before the problem. I
really have no idea what it logs me out instantly as soon as I connect.
Surely someone has seen this before? I'm running Windows Server 2003 that's
completely up to date, IIS 6.0 (FTP, SMTP, Web) and ActiveState Perl for
cgi processing. I should note that I'm not running the full terminal
services, just the remote administration feature (no licensing). Is there
a way to reinstall?

Does this happen even when you logon to the console session, i.e. via "mstsc /console

Does this happen if you try to open a remote desktop session while physically logged onto the console, i.e. Remote Desktop to localhost

Remote Desktop for Administration is built-in so there's nothing to uninstall/reinstall

You can always open a case with Microsoft PSS, which will cost you $245 (unless they find a bug that needs to be fixed) but at least you'll get an answer to your question

You are absolutely correct. When I was starting to go insane, I found that
thread in google groups. It's always the strangest errors. Thank you for
your help.

I saw this earlier today but couldn't remember where your post was, so thanks to Vera for pointing it out and for the other contributer for identifying the problem

Always good to keep TS as lean as possible to avoid this kind of stuff. I'm curious if Windows installed this or if it was a 3rd party driver disk
