Is there any way of running Active Directory Users and Computers snapin from my desktop so I don't have to log into the server everytime I need to make a change to someones account?

I have a laptop proloaded with XP home that failed to boot, at safe mode I can see that it stopped after loading the following drivers (I am only listing the last four) ntfs.sys ndis.sys snapman.sys atisgkaf.sys The system stops after displaying atisgkaf.sys Any one can tell me what is the problem? Is there a way to know the loading sequence and perhaps some of the driver is corrupted and by replacing those drivers, will it work. A repair install is not possible because I only have a factory CD that resets everything to the exfactory mode, meaning I have to reinstall every from zero up. Actually I tried that an it seems to run fine indicatin…

In win98 I have a DOS program that runs my spindle engraving machine. This DOS program runs fine on my laptop under win98 using COM1 to communicate and driving the newhermes vanguard computerized engraver. My problem is that when I recently purchased a NEW winXP home edition and upgraded to XP, this DOS progam will not run, although others do. I get the following messages in the DOS window box when I try to run my engraver driver program..... "An extended memory manager is already installed XMS driver not installed" I NEED this driver program to function in XP as it does in 98 so I can run my engraver, if it will not, then I have spent…

Hi. I've been successfully updating my x64 installation for over a year, but now I have a problem. I'm pretty sure it started when I was running Visual C# Express and clicked the Help|Updates menu. I got the "install activeX question that pops up from time-to-time so I didn't think much about it and proceeded. Anyway, after I did the scan I got an error that the scan couldn't be completed. That's when I noticed the 2004 copyright on the update program. So, my question is how do I get the latest "updater"? I've been hesitating doing a system restore since I've made some installs since (I didn't realize the main windows update wasn't going to work -…

All of a sudden the last couple of days I can't watch any online Youtube videos. I emptied my cache, I did disk cleanup. Still videos start and stop every few seconds. This never happened before. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

As I said, my CPU is overclocked, now, being somewhat of a novice compared to some of you guys I am baffled by this as this computer has been running just fine for about 2 years, although just recently I blew a motherboard and had a new one installed. The circumstances od this were, I was chatting on Cam to some friends in Vietnam and everything stopped, the screen went blue with some dialog saying something about disabling BIOS memory options such as caching and shadowing and it then proceeded to dump memory to disk? Any advice or hints to resolve this will be gratefully accepted Phil

I have a small network with two windows 2000 domain controller and one windows 2003 R2 member server with exchange 2003 sp2. Server1: domain controller (FSMO), DNS, win & DHCP server2: domain controller (file server) server3: windows 2003 R2 with exchange 2003 server What is the best way to upgrage the domain controller? I would like to do an upgrade than a clean install if possible. My plan is to upgrade server1 first (to a windwos 2003 domain controller). then upgrade server 2 to an additional windows 2003 domain controller. will that be the best way to upgrade? -- VKS

I've tried the /separate switch for using explorer.exe and it works well. Unfortunately, when opening or saving within some 64bit software the default explorer.exe seems to be used and it takes forever to navigate. How can I fix this? XP Pro x64. This has always happened on this computer, from day one.

Is there a single registry entry that will cascade down to all the "My..." directory locations and change them from one drive to another? I've been coercing "Favorites" with a specific registry entry and somewhere along the line, I managed the same with "MyDocuments"... but it seems like there should be a single point of contact for this... ? -- PeteCresswell

Greetings all, Recently I have noticed that I can no longer view the full contents of the temporary internet files folder. Previously I had access to the subfolders contained in this folder (ContentIE5 etc...) but I no longer do. I have no clue as to why I no longer have access to these subfolders. Also the security, customize and sharing tabs are gone from the properties dialog on both the temporary internet files and the history folder. None of the other folders are affected this way. How can I regain access to these folders? More importantly, what took control of them? The only change that I have made recently that may have caused this is the insta…

I have a Gateway 700mhz computer. It came with a blank formatted hard drive. My other 700mhz computer died (bad motherboard). I am mostly just transferring everything to this Gateway. My memory, video card, sound card and drives. I put in my master HD with Win98 and all my data. (I've done this before and it works, just need to change a few drivers). Anyhow, the HD I am putting in, is a Western Digital 20gig. The computer used to have a Quantum 20gig installed. When I go into the bios CMOS settings, the computer insists that I still have the Quantum drive installed. It's not only unplugged from the data cable and power cable, but it's removed from the cas…

Hello, I have a Windows 2003 standard server installed from altris. It was working fine until we had to reinstall Windows due HW failure. Now everytime I add the server to the domain, that is controlled by two Win 2k servers, I begin to get serious problems. First error is that several services like ipsec and task scheduler wont start. Second I noticed that my network connections was totaly empty. Also I can't get to disk management. I remove computer from domain, and computer returns to normal. any idea what might be the cause of this problem.
