Hi,

I have a Win2k Server which somehow succeeded into not starting the NETLOGON
service Automatic.
Result - unable to log on to the machine both locally and to a domain
account.
The machine is a member of AD.
I tried to connect using all methods (Registry, Computer Management, Remote
Task Manager, Service+) but nothing...all result in Access denied message.
If I type \\computername in Windows Explorer it gives some message "The
trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain
failed"....

Any solution ?

Have you tried logging on to the machine as the local administrator? The Netlogon service is not required to do this. Once on you can go into Services and set the Netlogon service to Automatic.

I have tried everything, doesn't work also...

Maybe is the ISA Server which is installed on the machine that made something ?

Use some kind of (re)partitioning software that supports NTFS (e.g. Partition Magic).
Free some space on your HDD, create an NTFS partition on it and make a new Windows NT installation on that new partition. Then login in that copy of the NT and try to recover the other copy (reset permisions to all folders so that all users have full access to them).

Sometimes NT fails to do login because noone has access to his system and system32 folders.

Not sure this will help you, but however try it...
