Log into the machine as the local administrator (don't forget to select the local computer name in the drop down list). Then remove the machine from the domain (put it in a workgroup), and delete the account in server manager - then wait 15 minutes before adding the machine back into the...

No there aren't! He who chooses his own path requires no map.

I have an unusual issue in which machines running Windows NT 4 occasionally won't show the Domain drop-down list afer a <ctrl> <alt> <del> at startup. In other words, it is as though the machine is suddenly not the member of a domain and the logon box only asks for username and password. After a...

If the mirroring was occuring at the hardware level then simply reloading the operating system would not have any effect on that. You would then have a hardware RAID adapter and it would have it's own configuration for mirroring (RAID 1). You can simulate RAID 1 in NT using Disk Administrator...

We have a large WAN with many remote NT 4 Server BDC's. Workstations are all NT Workstation 4. For some reason logon scripts don't run when users authenticate to certain BDC's. Any ideas on this?

Sorry to be a bother - but can you ping by name, or only by address?

there's no need to go to each of the workstations. get a copy of the Zero Administration Kit from Microsoft at: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/zak/ there is a utility called con2prt in there. this allows you to add and remove printers ie: 'con2prt /f' will remove existing printers while...

If you go to a command prompt, can you ping other machines on the network by name? do an 'ipconfig /all' and see if all the ip settings are correct.

Ghost can and will work as long as you use a bit of lateral thinking as follows: 1. Video - in all likelyhood you have two different video controllers and this will cause an issue on the new machine. To resolve this, set the original machine to standard VGA before creating the image. You can...

What is the difference in the hardware between the two servers?

Let's go back to basics... 1. Have you created a queue for the printer on the server? 2. Is the queue shared? 3. Have you shared printer drivers for the relevent operating system of the client machines? 4. Are you able to connect to the printer queue/share by using 'add printer'/'network...

As peterve said, robocopy is the best way to do this. use the robocopy /mir switch and it will mirror the users machine to the network share by ONLY copying files that are different - it's a most excellent utility...

Alternatively, just open Event Viewer and choose the Log/Select Computer menu option...

Wow - there's a lot here that could be going wrong! Anyway, it sounds like the BDC is the best place to start - under normal circumstances the BDC should be doing all of your user authentication - NOT the PDC. This is a common misconception. If your BDC has an issue - such as not communicating...
