I have a few systems but only a small percent of our total systems here that get stuck on Preparing Network Settings... while booting. I have found that if I take the network cable out and restart the PC it will boot to the logon and at that time I plug the cable back in. I then can sign in and...

I am here to see what the problem is but I know how to get around it. Take the network cable out of the back on the computer, boot it up to the sign on screen, and then put the cable back in and sign in like normal. Not sure why you have to do that just yet but I am looking to find out why now...

Ok next problem is now I do not have a security tab for the program files folder to set permissions with. Any idea were I could turn this on? Or maybe an alternate way to set the security on it?

I will try the program files directory permissions out that sounds pretty good. Never really thought about permissions on local machine. I will let you know how that works as I tweak on it some and get it going. Thanks!

Must just be coming to this forum helps my thought process. Anyhow this last server I setup on my laptop on a seperate partition. This partition was Fat32 not NTFS. I realized this after I posted and decided to take another look. I used convert.exe to convert it to NTFS and boom I can set...

I have just built a test backoffice 2000 server and setup IIS and went to start setting security on folders. When I right click on the folder and go to properties I do not get a security tab. I get General, Web Sharing, Sharing, and that is it. The other test servers I have created have the tab...

I tried that but after replacing the file my computer would load to a certain point and reboot. I am not certain thou the file I was putting in place was not causeing this problem. I believe there is something you do that does something to the registry that will take the new file.

I want to change the winlogon.exe with another one but everytime replace the original one it gets overwrote by the file protection. I know Windows 2000 does this too and I have done this before in it but I forgot what I did. I was thinking there was something you had to do to install the new...
