Problem with Netlogon service not starting

[Craig]

Hi - I recently restarted one of our windows 2003 servers
(it's not a DC, just a member server) after some software
updates. When it came back up, I was able to log in as
normal, but the netlogon service hadnt started and now
the server cant see the network (and vice versa). I've
trawlled the net to find a similar problem, but to no
avail. I can't manually start the Net logon service
either, as I get the following error when i try:

"Error 0x800900id: Provider DLL failed to initialize
correctly"

I'm also getting Event IDs 5737 and 7023 appearing
relating to this. 5737 (Source - NETLOGON) is
showing "the system returned the following unexpected
error code: 1%" 7023 is showing same error message as
above (0x800900id)

Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is a very
annoying problem. Thankfully it's not a mainline server,
but is used for storing apps and IT files.

Regards

Craig

Hi - I think i managed to sort this. For some reason,
the ipsec service had entered block mode, so I disabled
the service and rebooted the server. It came up like a
charm.

Hope this is of help to someone anyway.
