Go get Process Explorer from SysInternals, it's freeware. CM

Set up a bootable diskette with freeware tool NTFSDOS on it. Boot with it and copy this file : C:\WINNT\system32\config\SAM on it. Use LOphtcrack (www.astake.com) to crack the administrator password. You may have to buy L0phtcrack if brute force is required. Hope this helps. CM

Yeah thanks, but I knew that. I want to set ownership on the fly... Unlike permissions that are inherited from parent folder, ownership is not. This is my problem because I want to prevent users from managing permissions. See ? CM

Microsoft NT/W2K provides access to files using simultaneously two permissions schemes : Share and NTFS (file permissions). Access is granted according to the most restrictive of both. By example, is UserA has CHANGE permission from the Share permission scheme and READ permission from NTFS...

Anybody have an idea on how to force parent directory ownership to files and subfolders ?... I want to prevent users from becoming permissions granters. I don't know much about Unix but there seems to exist a command (setgid) that could do it, any known equivalent for W2K ? Txs.

If your users log on a domain, you could use logon script to know who is connected to which machine. Here what you could include : echo %username% on %computername% >> \\Server\Share\YourFile.txt You could use that same logon script to copy a shortcut, say to the desktop, that would trigger the...

No, your PC will boot the same, even though W2K Pro is installed on the newly inserted disk. Check if you can boot from CD drive (see BIOS setup - you probably can). If so, insert W2K Pro CD and set your BIOS to boot from CD drive. Follow the installation procedure. Make sure you see your NEW...

More precisely, I want to have a folder in which only files would be created, no folders, for specific users. I thought giving special access to the folder (RX for Directory, RXCD for files) the folder would help, but not up to now... Any idea ?

You have a free partition in this machine that you could install a second version of W2K Pro on ? You can add a second disk ?

First questions you should ask yourself is wether : you want to run in mixed mode (NT 4.0 domain type) you want to run in native mode (A.D. installation) ...or maybe you just want it to be a member server. CM

W2K server comes with IIS 5.0 and in installed by default. Exchange comes apart. W2K Advanced server will give you clustering (up to 2 nodes), load balancing, upper RAM limit (8 GB), upper multi-processor limit (up to 8). Have a look by yourself on MS web site.

I can't make the logon scripts execute. Let me know of any hints on this. Thanks.

If you want better scripting tool than plain DOS command, you can use KIX32. Quite intuitive and easy to use. You can download it from www.kix32.com.

Open a DOS shell, type in : copy file1+file2 file3 That's it.

Just a hint : Win 95 and Win NT client use only two methods at logon time to find their domain controller : Broadcast and WINS. No WINS in your case, so you rely on broadcast... Maybe you find it obvious, but it is not to be confused with the NetBIOS name resolution sequence used once logged...
