The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Windows Server 2003 -- Log On To Windows is disabled

Asked by mmaslar in Operating Systems Miscellaneous

Tags: 2003, server, windows, log

I have a remotely co-located server running Windows Server 2003. Sending a Ctrl-Alt-Delete brings up the "Log On to Windows" dialog, but both the User Name & the Password input fields are disabled. What's causing this, and how can I re-enable these fields?

Background:
* The server has Dell's ERA/O option card, which redirects the server's video output over the internet to my local PC.
* I can still log in as an administrator remotely via www.mydomainname.com:8098. Port 8098 is part of IIS 6 that provides full access to the desktop remotely.
* The Administrator account has been renamed. But renaming it did not cause the logon to become disabled.
* Security Policy: The system is set for passwords to expire in 42 days. But my admin account works fine via port 8098, so I don't think that's it.
* Account Lockout Policy: The account lockout threshold is set to 3, then will disable for 30 minutes. The event viewer does not show any failed login attempts, however.
* Lastly, I want to get this working again as a backup to the port 8098 method. hile configuring the system, 8098 went off into the weeds several times and the system was inaccessable via it. The ERA/O seems to be more reliable. Considering that the server is ~350 miles away, I want as many remote options as possible!

Thanks!
