A Dell technician told me that a mouse could have failed and caused the system to lock-up.

For my Windows Storage Server 2003, the keyboard works before Windows loads, but at the logon screen, neither the keyboard or the mouse works. I can press f8 and go to safe mode, but the keyboard and mouse still won't work.<br />

Three days ago, I installed Symantec Endpoint Protection on the server, but there were no signs of any problems. Yesterday, I installed Windows updates, changed my network administrator's password, then I restarted the server. I also turned-on Windows firewall (I did not install Symantec with a firewall). Since then, I haven't been able to get past the logon screen. I cannot even ping the server on my network. The server is a 64bit machine, and there are no PS2 ports on it.<br />

Keyboard and mouse not responding at logon screen

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.

Windows Networking

A peripheral device is defined as a computer device, such as a keyboard or printer, that is not part of the essential computer (i.e., the memory and microprocessor). These auxiliary devices are intended to be connected to the computer and used in conjunction with it. Examples of external peripherals include mouse, keyboard, printer, monitor, external Zip drive or scanner, while internal peripherals include CD-ROM drive, CD-R drive or internal modem. Today's new devices, such as tablets, smartphones and wearable computing devices are considered peripherals as they can be connected and used on a computer system. The difference, however, is that these devices can run independently of the computer system.
