I got hacked, and in the batch file they did a cacls /T /E /P Administrator:N How do I erase this directory? Even booting up on the install cd doesn't work.

I've got dhcp running at home and work. That's why it's strange XP can't find the domain.

I have a Windows 2000 server at home running active directory. My old notebook would just detect the domain I was hooked to and let me log into it. I don't understand why XP can't do this.

I have a notebook I take back and forth from work. The networks have different domains. The older versions of windows would automatically sense the domain of the network. Is there anyway to setup XP like this?

We get a fair number of e-mails, yet one customer is getting unexplained delays, and in one case, a rejected e-mail saying host unreachable. Where can we start to look for the problem? It's odd because the internet connection seems fine, and in several years of Exchange 2000 working with no...

How can I get figure out what media name is on the tape in the drive? I've got 3 good tapes, but they're labeled Monday, Wednsday, and Friday. :)

I'm using F-Secure anti-virus.

I cleverly turned off real time protection for some reason, and neglected to turn it back on. :-) Hows the best way to restore from the system tools backup program to repair this? Should I boot up in safe mode? Obviously I want to restore system files that might be busy in normal operation...

Windows Me on the notebook. And I can't login as administrator either. Also, I can log in to the server thru Terminal Sevices using that login.

I have a Windows 2000 server at home, running active directory, dhcp, dns, etc. My notebook, which I take from work to home everyday, suddenly started to get "login server did not recognise your domain password or access to the server has been denied." It logs in fine to the 2000...

We have a bunch of licensing issued to "unknown", and it's crowding out our other licenses. Do I have to call Microsoft to get them deleted, or is there a better way?

You just go to recipiants, recipiants policy in Exchange System Manager, and add a new SMTP E-mail address to default policy. That's for incoming messages, tho. It's likely they've got yahoo.com redirected in DNS so that mail sent to yahoo.com goes to another server, that rejects it.

Thanks to a search here, I found out about the Eseutil /p command, which fixed it. Still, any good links to a simple explanation of these stupid log files? Thanks tho, I kind of panicked because this wasn't a good time for the e-mail to go down.

Nah. My priv1 and pub1 files are still there. Plus, I really don't care that much. I just need to get exchange running again.

Ok, I'm an idiot. But I get about 20 gigs of log files every month, and no more than 20 e-mails a day. So I've done this before with no problem. After erasing the *chk file I've got it to database inconsistency. How can I fix it? Thanks!
