If you want to delegate the right to add/remove computers to ordinary users in an AD domain, check the following (Number 3 is crucial): 1. Do you have a group for users who only have the right to add/remove computers from the domain? If yes, goto number 2. If no, create such a group, and...

The modem is 3com/USR winmodem (Sportster internal). When i open the modem properties, the modem is not visible. When i go to add new modem, it won't open the wizard. I dont not if it is a device or a service that is disabled or stopped or what.

Hi, I recently installed an Iomega zip drive on an NT4 workstation (SP6a). The install went fine, but stopped the modem (USR Winmodem internal) in the middle of a connection. When I rebooted the modem was gone, and the RAS service would not start. I subsequently removed the Iomega software and...

Many thanks Techlad.

Does anybody know where i could find setprfdc. This utility is used for telling clients the order in which it checks for netlogon servers. I have downloaded and extracted the NT4SP4 full install (128 bit), but the file is not there. There are no download options for the same on the microsoft...

Thanks Morsing, We are getting a local telco in to do the work. I just want to make myself aware of any issues that may arise, so as to avoid being caught on the hop by the telco, who may then pile on the fee's. Regards

Hi all, I am hoping for advice on known issues with migrating from a flat network to a layer 3 network, in an office of 650 users. If anyone out there has done any thing like this and can advise me on this i would appreciate it. thanks

Has anyone in here got W2k servers in their environment? we experienced this problem at the same time as installing several W2k servers. coincidence??

I too am also experiencing this issue. If you have a premier support contract with Microsoft, then you can request a software download, of a checked build of netlogon.dll, which will give you a comprehensive breakdown of logon information by account name. The microsoft knowledge base article is...

There is an NT group called backup operators that have the right to logon to the the server. Server operators are essentially administrators, which, from the sounds of it, are permissions that these people need. So, in summary, double click on the backup operators group in user manager, groups...

The admin account (where it is still called that!), would normally have the setting password never expires enabled. I my case, our users do not multiposition themselves at different machines, so that rules out that solution. Microsoft do not seem to have a lot of information on this problem on...

This problem seems to be very common. I have a similar situation (400 win98 clients), where random account lockouts occur with no reasonable explanation. I raised the issue with MS through our premier support agreement and to date have not received a satisfactory solution. I would be interested...

I haven't. Thanks, I will give it a go.

Account lockout reset should actually be 1440 (24hrs). I am also experiencing similar issues, with Win9x clients logging onto an NT4.0 domain. Check out the following KB article on MS site Q271496.

I too am experiencing similar issues. What client OS are you running? If you are using Win9x clients, then Microsoft KB article Q271496 contains information that may be useful in this scenario. I also have a hotfix related to this article, which I will forward to you if you wish to post your...
