Question : Registry Issue - Userinit string value missing in the registry - windows server 2003 server

Greetings!!!

This is to inform that Userinit string value is missing in the registry - windows server 2003 server.  However, the file userinit.exe is still there in the windows\system32 directory.  What is happening nobody is unable to login even the local administrator.  I have found the MS document number for this kb/555648.  This document tells to edit this value.  But this document is not telling that if the string value is missing, shall we just add it and give the path.  I just want to check if anyone has done this before.

What I want to make sure if we add this entry into the registry then it should not have any problems.

Thanks in advance

Yes, just add it as a String Valule, and give it the path (should be c:\windows\system32\userinit.exe,  (notice the comma)

I have had to do this on workstations, but not a server, with no problem....

I dont see any problems personally....
