Logon Loops

This fixed a similar problem on WinXP

Maybe it will work for W2K Server - have a look about half way down the page.

Try rebooting in the nds recovery mode. You may have a corrupt active directory.

what went on, i wonder, before this happened? power failure, sp installation, new software install?
wonder if a bsod is displayedto briefly to see? server 2k on laptop huh. then bet you don't have enuf room for this but my 2 cents is install another 'parallel' 'rescue' win2k in unique named folder eg. win2krescue (doesn't have to be server but probably is best). then you can edit registry of bad os install with regedt32 from rescue os. see support.microsoft.com for step by step. edit registy so system will stop at bsod next time you attempt to load it, so you can take the error to support.microsoft.com and find exact instructions.
in the meantime, i would shotgun this in the following way: since you are making it to the logon screen Last Known Good Configuration is probably not going to work but try it. then install or run from cd Recovery Console and try chkdsk /p in case this happened due to file system/bad disk error. observe results. hope the switch are os correct just get the gist and correct for me?
these two things unlikely to fix but easy to try. next thing is try letting cd install program repair bad os. support.microsoft.com for details.
maybe bsod would reveal portion of registy that is hosed and maybe you have been great about keeping repair info up to date. then you can replace file bsod is complaining about and bob's your uncle. otherwise you may be using the parallel install as your main install now. good luck.

I had a similar problem recently on an XP system. Turned out to be a problem with Novell client NMAS.

may be u have roaming profile. it is set with gpo. pls check it.

Your default user folder is corrupted. Copy one from another computer, and your problem will be solved.
