Lack of Desktop Issue

[melfineo]

I recently popped a win 2003 SQL server into a new domain. For some reason now the start menue desktop wont appear. You can do ctrl-alt-del and bring up task manager etc. Strangely connecting via RDP you can see the desktop. Trued re-adding to domain but still not desktop. Has this happened to anyone before?

Amended to say if you connect via rdp to the console the same thing happen when using a domain account but doesnt on a normal session. It doesnt happen when a local user account connects to the console via rdp..

im guessing currupted profile. login as the local admin and delete the domain admin profile, login as the domain admin, i bet the problem is resolved.

Look's to have been a permissions issue and old un identifiable acccount was lingering (s213121556 etc) from the old domain, stripped this out and its okay.
