I have a server with Windows Server 2003 Std, when I try to Shuting Down or Log Off don't work. What can be causing this problem?

Hi, Look in the event log for errors. Try this start -> run and type: shutdown /s -f -t 0 <- for a shutdown shutdown /r -f -t 0 <- for a reboot This will force close any programs that may be preventing a shutdown MiguelMiguel Fra / Falcon IT Services Computer & Network Support, Miami, FL Visit our Knowledgebase and Support Sharepoint Site

This is not the normal behaviour of Windows Server. The problm which you are facing happens usually with the third party applications installed. To dig more deeper and to get the main cause you can perrfom a clean boot and try shutting down and restarting the server. 1. Click Start, click Run, type msconfig, and then click OK. 2. On the General tab, click Selective Startup, and then click to clear the following check boxes: o Process SYSTEM.INI File o Process WIN.INI File o Load Startup Items 3. On the Services tab, click to select the Hide All Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable All. 4. Click OK, and then click Restart to restart your computer. http://www.virmansec.com/blogs/skhairuddin
