Screen Blank after reboot

I have a win2003 server running Citrix. I have a script that performs the
tssshutdown /restart command on the server overnight each night which has
been working great for years. Now when the server reboots the screen is
completely blank or just shows a green background and you can get the login
prompt to appear by hitting the 'ctrl-alt-del' keys but the server does not
accept Ica/rdp connections. Once I restart the server from the menu it works
properly again. Is this a known issue from a patch? Any help appreciated to
diagnose the issue.
 
Re: Screen Blank after reboot

Sounds like the server never really goes down.
Which SP are you running?
Have you made sure in your script that you first reset all
sessions?

Re: Screen Blank after reboot

I have not. What is the command for that?
