Two Questions?

[vinodi]

Hi,

I am posting two questions. Before that let me briefly give you the idea of my network. I have a Win 2k Server which is a domain controller. All client nodes consist of Win 9x boxes and belong to a workgroup which is a part of the domain.
The problems are:

1. The Shutdown button is disabled in the logon dialog box. How do I enable it. I have gone into the registry using regedit, activated HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/MICROSOFT/WINDOWSNT/Winlogon/ShutdownwithoutLogon to 1.
Yet after rebooting the machine it does not enable the Shutdown button in the logon dialog box. What else should be done to solve the problem?

2.The server containing WIn2k has 3 hard disks installed on it. The HDD containing Win2k has 40 GB capacity. The second HDD (Primary Slave) has 80 GB capacity. The third HDD (Secondary master) has 120 GB capacity. All the HDDs are having NTFS file systems. The 80 GB and 120 GB HDD have no partitions on them. The problem is whenever I copy some files from the 80GB (Primary Slave) to 120 GB HDD (Secondary Master) I get the infamous "BLUE SCREEN" and the OS starts dumping memory. What could the problem be. Is the 120 GB HDD corrupted. Will there be any loss of existing data on it.

I would appreciate your answers.

Hi,

1.May be you have w9x policies that downloads to the clients? They will always overwrite local settings.
2. how your HDD's are installed? Some are SCSI or all ? Or they all a IDE? Do they supported by W2k? See HCL.

Have you checked the disks in the Disk Management snap-in? Right-click My Computer and choose manage. You will see in the left pane, Disk Management. In case you didn't know where it was...

Thanks,

Thanx Victor and Matt for your suggestions. Victor, I meant the shutdown button on the server and not on client machines. Secondly, all HDDs are IDEs (Samsung).

Matt the Hard disks are having a status of Healthy (Active) in the Disk Management snap-in.

OK.Sorry, didn't catch it.
Anyway check this setting or in Default domain Policy or in Default DC policy. If there is nothing , then try to enfource one of them.
Try to run checkdisk against both of the disks.

for the ShutDown button issue:

find this policy setting:

Default Domain Policy [server.domain.com]
Computer Configuration
|_Windows Settings
|_Security Settings
|_Local Policies
|_Security Options
|_•Allow system to be shut down w/out having to logon

Enabling that policy setting will take care of it

kup,
tnx.
