HP Proliant DL380
Windows 2003 Server sp2
Exchange 2003
System was rebooted last night and hung on "Applying Computer Settings" and won't go past. Booted into safe mode w/Networking to verify no issues. Had F-Secure AV installed, removed it. Rejoined the domain.
If I remove the cat5 cable when it boots it goes instantly to the logon screen. If I leave the cable in then it hangs. I have update the NIC drivers.. I have switched the cat5 patch cable. I have tried a new switch port. I did a netsh winock repair .. I do not have APC powerchute installed.
I can not figure out why it wont go further when the cat5 is plugged in..
Any help is appreciated.
