title: Can't Log Out of Windows Server 2008
body: <p>I'm currently logged into my Windows Server 2008 R2 (x64) server, using Remote Desktop.  As soon as I clicked on Start -> Log Out, this message popped up:</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/e6930.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></p>
  
  <p>The message says:
  "Waiting for all snap-ins to complete..."</p>
  
  <p>There's a second dialog box in the background that says:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>MMC cannot initialize the snap-in.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Now I can't log out and I can't bring up task manager.  I can hit ctrl-alt-del and then click Task Manager, I can right-click the task bar and click Start Task Manager, and I can click the start menu and click Log Out, but none of those do anything. I also can't click the OK button that is shown in the screenshot.</p>
  
  <p>This is a live web server, so I don't want to try restarting the server.</p>
  
  <p>I can just disconnect from Remote Desktop, but these dialog boxes are still shown when I log back in later.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?  Do I just need to wait until the middle of the night and restart the server?</p>
