I have been trying to get that in place forever. It seems there is never enough money for the project, but plenty for whatever project tickles the executives' fancies. I guess I just need to learn how to be a better tickler!!!!

I resolved the problem! Changing my password and not having it recognized was very puzzling. This got me and one of my techs to thinking and experimenting on a test network. We have Exchange running on on the PDC (not by MY choice.) Apperently, Exchange was caching the passwords somehow and...

Thanks for the info browolf. I really appreciate your assistance. Unfortunately, the results did not improve. I remembered as well that in the LMHOSTS file there has to be exactly 20 spaces between the quotes in the '01xb' line i.e., 172.16.33.1 "EURDBUENG1 \0x1b" I...

At first I simply renames my PWL. I have subsequently deleted ALL PWL files on the machine and did a cold restart. Still nothing. Earlier in the day I rebooted the PDC as well; ya know, just for kicks!

No. I tried changing my password as well at the server. I now get a 'password incorrect or access to server denied' message on 98 machines. Strangely enough, the OLD password works for authentication. Again, all is well with Win2k and XP (with password change.) I tried deleting the .plw...

I have created a new user "testuser" on our NT4 network. For some reason when I try to log into the network from any client running Win98 I get "cannot find user". NT4 WS thru XP are fine. Any other username will log in as intended. Any ideas as to why this would happen...

I encountered the same problem as pantman. I was able to go in through the recovery console and disabled any symnantec service listed (belt and suspenders approach), but still received the error!!! B-( AARRRRRRGGGGGGG!!

Not having luck with Ghost or PowerQuest. Ghost keeps giving me a write secto error. PowerQuest is going so far- I don't think though that it should take 12 hours (time remaining) to image a 3 gig drive. Both programs are being run from boot disks and have worked with NT drives in the past...

I have done the following: 1. A scandisk. 2. Performed a virus scan on the drive with Symantecs most recent definitions (turned up nothing.) 3. Reset BIOS with no positive results. 4. Renamed ntldr and ntdetect on HD & replaced with copies from floppy disk. 5. Screamed in...

Thank you for the great suggestions. The boot disk did not work. NT give me a hardware error after selecting the boot mode in boot.ini. I think that was because of a HAL issue. The machine I created the disk from is virtually identical, but was built using the single processor mode. I did...

You may want to check the advanced tab of the power settings in the control panel. You must check the "enable apm properties" box for the auto shutdown to take effect.

Have a dual processor NT4 server that only shows a blinking curosor in upper RH corner during normal boot. Using rescue disk results in endless system scan. MS site suggests virus, but scanned as slave with VS software getting no hits. All files are present on disk. Tried fixing MBR with no...

I am doing the same thing now. Simply add/edit the SMTP address you want in the desired recipient's mailbox (properties->email addresses tab)to reflect the company the user belongs to. Make sure that address is designated as the "reply address" if there are multiple SMTP addresses...

You say that you are an administrator.&nbsp;&nbsp;However, are you an administrator LOCALLY, or are you an administrator on the domain the machine joined?&nbsp;&nbsp;I've found that win2k is more picky about who gets to/sees what.&nbsp;&nbsp;Try going to control panel -&gt...
