Following a power cut(UPS failed but thats a different problem), one of our Win2k DC's "appeared" to come back up OK. However, when trying to log on or remotely access it, I receive the following: The system can not log you on due to the following error: Insufficient system resouces exist to complete the requested service.
I have tried the usuals, reboot, safe mode, last known good config... but no joy. I really dont want to rebuild and could do with some advice.

I've seen that message before when there was a problem with the Symantec/Norton Antivirus client. This was sometime back, but I think I ran a repair from the Win2K Adv. Server CD OR I used the Recovery Console to disable the AV services (listsvc command). Rebooted, was able to log on afterwards, uninstalled AV, rebooted, reinstalled it.

Many thanks, it does have symantec av. Will give it a try and let you know how it goes.

Many thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunataly, no resolution. Rather than spend more time diagnosing the problem, have decided to rebuild, probably quicker and safer in the long-run.
