Where is the password file to delete for "already logged in"?

The issue: I cannot backup new servers in a w2k domain from a BE server in a Nt4 domain. I get the "you may already be logged in.... " message every time.

I have seen notes on this problem on the web, but I don't see this file that several users have mentioned to delete. They call it "bewinnt" or "bewinui", and I haven't been able to find this on the BE server.

Any ideas? I would be glad to reeenter all password information if I could just find the file to delete!
 
If you have the Backup Exec CD or the downloaded version, you should have a utility that allows you to edit the password file. If you have downloaded the BackupExec files from Veritas, here's where you'll find the utility:

[downloaded directory]\winnt\utils\pwdbedt.exe

I'm sure if you did a search on your CD for pwdbedt.exe, you'd find it. As long as you run this app from your Backup Exec server, you'll have no problems.

Good luck!
 
The file is called
bewinui.uni
and it is on the server where backup exec is installed
in the backup exec\nt\data
folder.


Stop the BE services and rename this to bewinui.uni to .old
then restart services(this basically blanks out the whole file)
OR
download the PWDBEDIT.EXE - Password Database Editor (for Backup Exec for Windows


Good Luck
