I have seen this where someone managed to disable access through
Workgroup Manager to the loginwindow application and it's preference
files...?
I have no idea how they managed to do this but in Workgroup I found
that they had prevented access to all local applications, and also
defined to "deny applications in this list" and left the loginwindow
app in there... Taking it out of that list resolved it...
I know it's obscure circumstances but you never know ;-)
I tried those things but the issue comes right back. I can't roll
out 300 clients and have 2 or more do this on every reboot, thats
just crazy! I'm not sure whats doing it, it I seen a 10.3 client
do it the other day, the machine had bad RAM in it but 10.4.x does
it no matter what.
Crazy!
Thanks for the response,
Dan

Try ssh ing to the machine while it is at the blue screen. Then
kill the
loginwindow process. Most of the time this will bring you to the
loging
window.
If this does not work. Try removing /Library/Preferences/
com.apple.loginwindow.plist and restart.
This has worked for me in the past. This still doesn't explain why
it is
happening, sorry.

Not sure what it has to do with how they're bound, but we're bound to
OD. Seein a lot of blue screen boot ups. A real problem. dp G5s
using
Xsan, as well. Maya, Shake, etc... I always thought it was bad
startup
items, but maybe bad DNS, relating to OD binding. Hmmm

10.4??
I have been able to reproduce the problem with fresh installs of
10.4 and
with an upgraded client that was 10.3.9 then upgraded to 10.4
then to 10.4.1
then to 10.4.2 happening with all versions.
The clients are bound to both Open Directory and to Active
Directory, I have
tried both first in the search path and it doesn't make any
difference.
Anyone else seeing this? Our DNS is working strong and
correctly, had some
issues I thought that was it but everything is back to normal now.
Thanks,
