SYMPTOMS
You have installed an auto-started service configured for a non-localsystem account.
When the system is starting, the system pauses at the blank blue screen for ~90 seconds and then the logon prompt appears.
RESOLUTION
Add the NWCWorkstation service as a dependency to your non-localsystem service.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
MORE INFORMATION
Steps to Reproduce Behavior
- Client Services for Netware (CSNW) is installed and the NWCWorkstation service isn't configured to run in a group (default for CSNW).
- Another auto-start service is installed that runs in a non-LocalSystem account.
The Auto-start service from step 2 comes before NWCWorkstation service alphabetically in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Services
or it belongs to a service load order group. (Services that belong to a load order group always start before a service that doesn't belong to a load order group.)
- Restart the computer.
