Hi everyone,
I just reimaged an appliance 1113 from ACS 4.1 to 4.2 usig recovery DVD
I got the message showing upgrade is OK but I could not connect to the device :
Cisco Secure ACS: 4.2.0.124
Appliance Management Software: 4.2.0.124
Appliance Base Image: 4.2.0.107
Status: Appliance is functioning properly
The ACS Appliance has not been configured.
Logon as 'Administrator' with password 'setup' to configure appliance.
But the prompt "login:" never appears...I reboot the appliance several times with no success, I still get this message but no prompt !!
When attached the monitor and keyboard to device it shows following error:
"Atleast one service or driver failed during system startup. use event viewer to examine the event log for detail."
mouse and keyboard got hung.....not working
I'm stuck with this issue does anyone have any solution to help me ?
Thank you

Hi Guriqubal,
Monitor and keyborad connection is not supported with ACS appliance. For console connection, please follow the steps for serial connection.
Error:- During startup, the ACS SE receives the At least one service or driver failed during startup. use event viewer to examine the event log for details error message.
Solution:- This error on the ACS SE does not affect any of the ACS functionalities. It is a Microsoft Windows error. This error appears because the monitor, mouse and keyboard cannot be used on the appliance and are disabled by default.
The ACS appliance is a hardened, locked-down system and is designed with security in mind. The appliance uses windows strengthen image, which has all redundant services and connections stopped. It is made to keep all viruses, worms, and DDOS attackers out. Hence there is no VNC, DOS prompt, or any other way to reach the windows configuration. Services like the mouse, keyboard and monitor are closed.
On rare occasions, it indicates that something is corrupted on the appliance image. If you re-image the appliance, it fixes the issue in the majority of instances. You can try to re-image the ACS as well.
