Easy peezy that is. Merely put the net stop command in their logon script. If you're not using logon scripts, you should be.

Windows 2000 domain controller requires DNS. If your external DNS does not have your internal 2l/XP machines registered you will have issues. You should then install the DNS server onto your 2K domain controller. Next is to assign your domain controller as a DNS server on all clients. f you are using DHCP on the server, you can specifiy the DNS server addresses that DHCP will hand out; you will need to specify your domain controller and a good idea is to also suply your main external dns servers as well. I don't know that this would cause your issues, but it is a start for a proper win2k domain setup.

Boot to win98 floppy, make a fat32 paritition. Copy smartdrv froma win98 machine or this will caus epain. Copy \i386 to c: from dos, in another pc. (move the hard drive) then run c:\i386\winnt from dos. Better quicker faster than using the win2k 4 boot floppy method IMO.

2000 server with 2 domaincontrollers in mixed mode. the PDC emualtor was once NT4 and was upgraded. All was well for 2 years. Now users ar getting the error at boot time "a duplicate name exists on the network" Many, many machines are doing this now. What would be causing this? Event viewer says run nbtstat -n to see the offending computer name, but this does not work.

Traced it back to a bunk Wap/hub unit.

Did you pug in the extra 4 pin connector to the mobo?

1) disconect other pc's from the network. 2) Disconnect this pc fro network. 3) install windows, confugure netwokring/dialup. 4) Enable firewall. 5) NOW, connect the pc to the internet and patch. youll be fine.

if you want a free one, partimage; it's GPL.

I sawr a bootdisk ISO once from a yaroze system (PSX development version) It did not work when I tried it. It boots, says "insert gane" but no workee. Supposedly they patched the bootdisk to work on games although it was designed to run only unsigned games (stuff you program yourself) not designed to play games that ARE signed but are missing the oroper copy protection on the disk itself. You may wanna check out www.epsxe.com this emulator will play psx bakcups on a PC and runs very well with most games. It can even load and play iso files.

Does it have an ati card? Does it have the "large system cache" tweak anabled? if so, uninstall driver, set the system cache setting back to default and al wil be well.

Re: What does mozilla have to do with your issues: If you look closely I commented on the fix for the autoprompt downloads from sites like astalavista, mozilla does not support active-X, which is what these spyware installers are using. Type download tweakui in google and you will find the microsoft page for it, its for win95 through xp, possibly 2003.

re: the install this to download: 2 words to fix this issue. Mozilla Firebird. Active X is evil (big surprise there) As for your other idea, dunno.One thing you could do a halfway workaround, have each profile use a custom desktop folde (use tweakUI to set it) and have both accounts point to same location. Instruct them to always have the program set a shortcut on the desktop. You can use group policy to set the desktop environment, but this won't allow for changes to propogate. You can use a logon script to copy the entire start menu from one to the other, then back again (xcopy will do) That's all i got to add to this.

press ctrl>shift>esc , click applications>new task, type explorer.exe and click OK. Hopefully now windows explorer has come up and you can now better work at figuring out what is wrong. note that it is explorer , not internet explorer.

Download and install tweakui the option is in there.

Goto user manager and under policies make sure the appropriate logging is set "on unsuccessful" You say that successful loggin gets logged so this means your logging is enabled, so redoing this setting should workx0r.

yes, backing up the "system state" does backup the entire registry, plus other stuff. For example, if you istal the machine fresh, then restore a "system state" it will be back to the way it was.

Backup your system (ntbackup>system state)tthen try the xp driver. iIt may work.

2000 servr domain controller. here i the batch. f: cd users xcopy *.* /s blah blah couple other switches not relevant to issue. When i run the batch it runs. when i set task scheduler to run it, it blinks up then goes away. So, I tried >\log.txt the log is empty when it tries to run fom task scheduler. the user account used to run the task is the main Domain Admin account. When doble clicked manually it runs, copies everything, and makes a nice fat logfile. !?!!

Problem solved. Here is what happened. Task scheduler in this case does not have access to the windows path. When I did a copy blah t worked because copy is an internal command. When I Hard Code xcopy's location, it works. Go figure. For example: to copy one folder and all subdirectories to the d: drive: and create a log in the root of f: f: cd User_Shared_Folder c:\winnt\system32\xcopy *.* d:\backup\users /e /c /v /h /r /y >\bloguser.txt Now the question is is this normal? When i doublle click the batch it works, when task scheduler runs the task the batch has no access to the path and can't find xcopy and fails.

iIt's for sharing files and printers. You ant share with theis service uninstalled. You thought you did , but you did not.

That's right, run from cd rom or floppy and get burned.\ here is what you do. you need "eicar" It is a fake virus file made for testing antivirus software. All antivirus will detect it as a virus, but it really is safe and was created for testing. pretty cool. Grab it here. http://www.eicar.org/anti_virus_test_file.htm (If you read the maual that comes with sav 8, it has a link to this site as well, that's how I fouind about it)

It will protect from internet but NOT from floppy, as it isnt being created, it's being accessed. Unless you copy the contents before you open it...

Quote: You need to generate accouts on the server that match the account names listed on the clients. Then you will need to assign NTFS permissions to the shares that you want them to have access. If the passwords match on the server and clients, you will be able to just browse to the share. If they do not, you will be prompted for username / password combination. Actually if this happens you will be prmpted for a password only, and nothing you type at this point will give you access. not sure why it even asks.....
