The APC KVM switch the keyboard quit working, mouse froze up
We were building a server, just finishing up. We were adding the user groups for remote access when the KVM keyboard quit working and the mouse froze up. There are 26 servers connected to this KVM Switch. All the admins that had previously logged into those servers had their user accounts locked out, 5 servers became unresponsive. We power cycled the KVM and now it seems to be functioning normally.
We noticed as we went through the server list attached to this KVM Switch, that portions of the user group names that we were trying to add were showing up in the User Name portion of the Windows Logon Screen. There were also *'s in the Password portion. It was if the KVM switch was attempting to log onto all the servers it was connected to at once.
