Then the only logical conclusion is that your application server has become infested with gremlins!
On a serious note though...I've only ever seen this on ESX server when the VM running AR Server performs an active failover to another ESX node. No errors are generated and none of the services actually stop; it just won't allow anyone to log on.

Did someone add a new group into the system? Any new group added through ITSM causes the server to recache the Groups/Users in the system. This in turn prevents users from logging in while the server is re-caching. The only other thing I can think of is that you had a filter loop in your system that caused the server to just hang. You won't know that unless you had logging turned on during the time that it happened. If you had "Server Statistics" turned on it may help you know if it was a workflow/filter loop issue.

Dwayne, this was my first thought, but nothing changed on any part of our environment over the weekend. We didn't change anything on the remedy side, or elsewhere. If it were this suggestion, then whenever I Cycled remedy and sql server, the issue would not have cleared up. It was acting like maybe the cached user entries were messed up. I thought about running arreload to see if that cleared it up, but I just went in and cycled remedy and sql server and it worked.

Hi Gary, This is a long shot. Have you changed anything in the Server Configuration? We have "Authenticate Registered Users" and "Cross Reference Blank Passwords" checked. That way people with blank passwords, which is just about everyone, must LDAP authenticate. I once inadvertently unchecked "Cross Reference Blank Passwords" and nobody could log in.
