| 823261 | 2009-10-22 21:30:00 | Morning all Ok have searched for this but no answers - am trying locally :) One of the servers here has me logged in under a console session. If I go to the server I have the "only XX or or administrator can unlock this computer" or whatever that message really says. If I ctrl-alt-delete - nothing happens, the screen stays exactly the same. It's running on a KVM so I plugged a kb and mouse in directly - still the same. The num lock light caps lock lights on the KB go on and off as they should - not a kb issue. I can RDP into the server no problem and it is doing its role (MS Dynamics server) as per normal. If I go to terminal services manager and try to log my own console session off, I get an error 31 "a device attached to the system is not functioning." I've googled that but found no real solution. I've tried qwinsta command, logoff /session /servername - anything I try comes back with that same error 31 message. It's not a huge issue but obvioulsy it's not a good situation to be in. Any ideas please? |

| 823263 | 2009-10-22 21:43:00 | Nope - nothing at all. I've thought about that but nothign has changed on that server for a while. I think I've simply walked away from it forgetting to log off, and now just can't get back in to it. |

| 823265 | 2009-10-22 21:56:00 | Uh no not really. It's the local session that I'm having issues with. I realise it will probably come down to having to reboot the server after hours, but just don't want the issue to appear again in the future, naturally. |

| 823266 | 2009-10-22 21:58:00 | This then ? (office-outlook.com) | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 823267 | 2009-10-22 22:02:00 | Yes and no - I checked out that post before and I'm loathed to kill my profile but if that's the only answer, so be it. Although I'm still also not wanting to do a force reboot. The other thing with that post - I'm not seeing any grey/blue screens, just the normal "this computer is locked" message. I'm not getting the "blank screen with blue background" that this guy is. Am hopeful that there is a way to log me off the machine without having to reboot it. |

| 823268 | 2009-10-22 22:14:00 | What about if you run a remote desktop connection but connect to the console session? i.e. Start - Run - mstsc.exe /admin That's for the new version of Remote Desktop, the old version had a different command, /console I think. |

| 823269 | 2009-10-22 22:53:00 | try a usb keyboard? | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 823270 | 2009-10-23 02:39:00 | Any event log errors? Any services not started that should be? RDP to the console session is a good suggestion above. | inphinity (7274) | ||
