Server 2008 r2
When a users tries to log on, the workstation or server hangs on a blank
screen/black screen.
With the administrator account, i found in the registry the following
Warning:
EVENT ID 4006
The Windows logon process has failed to
spawn a user application. Application name: . Command line parameters:
C:\Windows\system32\userinit.exe.
To fix this issue, i had to add the groups NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users
and the NT AUTHORITY\INTERACTIVE to the local group “Users”.
After this, the user was able to log on again and the Desktop did show
up.
