If it is a game this is a good site for CD to DVD conversions. Saved me lots of install time with some of my multi-cd games http://www.cd-2-dvd.com/

sj- Thanks for trying it out and thanks for the PM. I will let you know once I go onsite to the customer to see how it works out.

Thanks for the replies guys. I am nearly positive we had not installed SP1 yet. I thought you couldn't delete the administrator account either but I guess that makes sense it could get deleted from AD. I just don't understand how a windows update would delete it because it happened right after rebooting from the windows update installs. Any tips on the user elevation scripts?

Well, if I do I can't tell as BackupExec runs on the server and I can't login the server to check the backup (catch 22)

After letting the MS critical updates download and install on our Small Business Server 2003 it asked to restart. I restarted the server now we can't login to the server console on our Administrator account. I even tried to remote desktop to the server and received the account / login does not exist or is the wrong password. Since the client workstations (all XP) could still login to the domain, print, browse the net, get email (Exchange), and access the file shares we could still work. I installed the Admin Pack on one of the XP workstations so I could look at the Active Directory Users and Computers. I connected to the server and could see all my users, except...my Administrator account was not there! Unfortunately I did not have a backup Administrator account (I know bad idea, but it was a small secured network). So my question is...how do I fix this? I can't re-create an Admin account even though I have access to the Active Directory because I don't have another user that has enough rights to do that. What are my options? Help! Thanks.
