Thanks

restricting domain workstation logons
by Guest wyocowboy- 4 replies
- 313 views
A customer wants to limit who can logon to certain machines to a handful of authorized users and prevent all other users in the company from logging onto these 3 workstations. I know that I can go into every user's profile and limit which machine(s) a given user can logon to, but I would rather not have to edit all those profiles, unless there is no other way. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be any provision for doing this through Client Computers properties. Any ideas?

Logon Error from KB 824302
by Guest E-Double- 6 replies
- 342 views
A standalone Win2000 Pro/sp4 machine cannot be logged on to either in normal or safe mode as the error "The system cannot log you on now because the domain xxx is not available" as detailed in KB Article 824302. I contacted MS Support and they sent me two .EXE files that apparently fix the problem, but how are these fixes supposed to be run if the machine cannot be logged on to? The Readme.txt file just says to refer to the KB article - which does not really have instructions. I also tried booting to a CD but they would not run that way either. In addition I remotely edited the registry from another machine changing the WinLogonCache value to 0, as wel…

Hard Drive
by Guest MichaelN- 6 replies

I have an old computer with 2 hard drives running Windows 2000. I believe they are both SCSI. My C: drive is a Healthy Boot NTFS (Disk 0) and working fine. It is only 9.32 GB. I said it was old! My other drive (Disk 1) is the problem. Part of it is Healthy (active) with a primary partition of 9.32 GB. It is mirroring my c: drive. It has no drive letter assigned to it. The rest of the Disk 1 drive is 47.9 GB and contains some important storage files that I would like to access (but not enough to spend the $$$ for data recovery, as I have backups of the important ones). It used to be my d: drive, but something happened and it no longer shows up in Wi…

My cousin brought home a computer from work that was running Windows 2000 (not sure of version). Originally, the "CTRL+ALT+Delete to start.." message appeared and when name/password were entered, system started without problem; and yes, there was a domain name shown on the log-in window. As per work's instructions, she deleed the software (via control panel/remove) that started the network log-on screen. Now the problem. After re-starting, the "CTRL+ALT+Delete to start " window has changed and the domain name area in not shown. The system will not accept the name/password only and keeps saying to check the domain name. How do I get passed the CTRL+ALT+Del…

Five Minutes

Everyday. You're hunched at the computer, flicking the keys with the greatest of ease - or, like me, poking each stroke with the speed of a...umm...well, it DID rhyme! Everyday. You're mesmerized for hours by the wonders of Internet business - you market, you negotiate, you design, you submit, you research, you chat...a lot... Everyday. Enthralled and empowered by your cyber-independence, you plan and scheme, plot and dream. While life in the REAL world goes on around you... "Hey Mom, can I have lunch now?? It's three o'clock!!" "Huh? Whaa...yeah, five minutes, honey...lessee, click here..." Funny how the daily grind hasn't ground to a halt…

Computer is almost useless due to uninstall of service pack.
by Guest Ushnell- 2 replies
- 272 views
This I really regret that I did: After updating my Windows 2000 Pro computer with the updates such as service pack 1 and update roll up that it recommended using Automatic Updates I noticed that the space of my hard drive went down the drain and decided to uninstall the two which I assume were taking up the space. I recall that while I was uninstalling them, a dialog box appeared with a warning that some other programs may not function if they are uninstalled and looked them up on the list and thought in my head: "these are not important to me anyway so continue" but the service pack after uninstalling it required the computer to be restarted whi…

I've gotten burned twice, now, by not having any automatic alert that informs me when my file server space is getting low. I can't seem to find anything built-in to Windows to do this. What is the suggested way to configure automatic alerts when a logical drive is running out of space?

Windows 2000 Professional Printing Problem
by Guest roback@earthlink.net- 3 replies
- 290 views
I have a printing problem. I use a simple visual basic program to do some billing for my office. I went to print a form out of it this morning and did not put in a specific date range to print. Instead of a blank form, pages and pages of random printer/printing information started to pour out of my printer. I tried to print a word doc just to see if it was a os issue or program specific, and it did the same thing. I don't understand it. Is there some kind of endless loop spool file that no matter what I try to print now gets sent to my printer??? What do I do? I tried unplugging the connections from the printer and rebooting with no avail. The o…

Moving user to new domain
by Guest maitakeboy- 1 reply
- 252 views
I have small regional offices that are configured as separate domains from my headquarters, all in the same forest, though. I have configured logon scripts in each of those domains to map network drives. Each of them are, of course, different. When I move a user from one office to the other, is there any way to get them to use the logon script besides moving them from one domain to the other? And is using the ADMT the only way to move the user, besides deleting and recreating the account in the new domain? Obviously, this is a problem because it also deletes the email account. If ADMT if the only or preferred way, what are the specific instructions for ju…

You do not have permission to access portions of System State\Regi
by Guest Israel-BroxBC- 3 replies
- 331 views
I have been tasked to look into a problem that has arisen from our backups. the Problem started with a backup job in Veritas 8.6 (Don't ask). The item Registry\default in use - skipped. An error occurred retrieving System State files. The System State file could not be backed up. Seemed like a average problem, looked on the symantec website at the articles referring to this error, to no avail. Tried to back the system state in NT backup and got the following error. Error: You do not have permission to access portions of System State\Registry\default. Please see the owner or administrator to get permission. Warning: Unable to open the file \Registry\def…

Win 2000 Pro Printing Prob Update
by Guest roback@earthlink.net- 1 reply
- 234 views
I appreciate the feedback yesterday. I dumped my drivers both from within the control panel and in the registry. I uplugged the printer, turned off the spooler service, and shut down / rebooted computer. I then turned printer on, reconnected cable and restarted the computer. The problem still exists. Upon startup, gibberish comes out of the printer, and upon printing any document, gibberish comes out. This all started from within a visual basic app, when I went to print a form without indicating a date range on the form. It is a billing program. I am at a loss. Any additional info would be appreciated.

other partition corrupted if (32GB) FAT32 filesystem filled >= 29GiB
by Guest Daniel B.- 4 replies
- 293 views
Is the following bug known (and is there a fix)? On Windows 2000 with SP4, if I create 32GiB partition, format it as a FAT32 file system, and try to fill it past a threshold that is somewhere between 28.75 GiB and 29 GiB, Windows overwrites the beginning of different partition (the C: volume) (writing over the FATs and the root directory). It seems that when Windows tries to write files beyond that point in the partition, something in memory gets corrupted and it decides to write over the C: partition. The problem seems stable (not intermittent). (Testing by copying 1-GiB files to the 32GiB partition showed the threshold was between 28 and 29 GiB. Re-st…

raising to windows 2003 Native Mode
by Guest guv- 2 replies
- 274 views
I am running a native windows 2000 forest. It has 2 windows 2000 native domains. In the first domain we have mostly all windows 2003 Domain controllers, but still have 2 windows 2000 Domain controllers. In our second domain we have only 2 windows 2000 domain controllers. I want to raise the functional level of the domain to windows 2003 native domain and then the forest. Can i do this with my current setup. I know I have some windows 2000 Domain Controllers but raising it to windows 2003 means you cannot introduce any more windows 2000 DC but the existing ones can still operate in a windows 2003 native mode. Is this correct

Recycle Bin in wrong location
by Guest Herbert Eppel- 1 reply
- 246 views
I seem to have accidentally moved my Recycle Bin into a subfolder under "My Documents", i.e. I see a folder called RECYCLER there which has a subfolder called S-1-5-21-1292428093-1202660629-839522115-1000 If I delete the folder it is automatically recreated. Where is its proper location? Can I simply move it to its proper location or do I have to use a special procedure? -- Herbert Eppel http://www.HETranslation.co.uk
