System restore cannot be run from the command line.. (the program can be started from there but not actually ran from there with switches) http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...;304449&sd=tech if you are using XP.. here is the MS Knowledgebase article http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...B;EN-US;Q307545 Otherwise, run a repair installation.. this should fix your problem

Try formatting? Are you sure that will work... Sounds like something isnt closing out the profile properly causing it to create a new profile every time you log on.. Try downloading this utility from microsoft which is meant to help user profile issues.. This isnt something you configure.. it runs as a service and helps close down the profile. You just install it and run http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=en

A good spot to post might be in the programming forum http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showforum=66

Do as he said and you will acheive the results you are looking for. There is a setting for this but you need to give us more information. Is this XP or 2000 home or pro.. domain or workgroup... this can make a difference as to if the option is there.... Otherwise, just install tweak UI or TweakXP

Incase anybody is interested.. i found out my problem.... I didnt have one.. The German company had a rule in their firewall that was old and never removed it which blocks a specific ip subnet.. it just so happens that I run the same subnet.. I removed the options I configured in my PIX and it still works fine.

Start-> run -> gpedit.msc -> User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Explorer Disable "Remove Shared Documents from My Computer" setting This will only work on Windows XP Pro.. XP Home does not have group policy

one thing i have found is that when things happen NOT according to a pattern and seem to be very sporatic.. I have found it to be the work of a virus... and it doesnt have to be on just the ones on the computers that are having the problems.. it can be on any computer attached to the network. On another occasion i found it to be a bad uplink port on one of my switches that connects the servers.

if you are just trying to find open addresses... you can run http://www.foundstone.com/index.htm?subnav...c/superscan.htm during the busiest hours. one thing you can do to help free up some addresses is to decrease the DHCP Lease time. This will free up a few if you have many poeple constantly on the go.

Have you recently jointed the computer to a domain.. this will get rid of it. Otherwise you can use local policy to put that back in there..

you can slipstream it from either.

Dang it.. i hate it when i do that.. you ever send an email and say please see attachment.. but you are in such a hurry that you dont attach the attachment.... yeah well.. this looks like your error Raven_214.. lemme know if this was helpful http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/faxpr...5704?Open&src=w

Use group policy management console and run the group policy results wizard and make sure it is applying to right users in the right place and yes.. default domain applies to the entire domain(unless security filtering is defined or the policy is not enabled.

The logon time was a bit slower but it is only a small price to pay to be able to back up all the documents and recover them in the event of a disaster.. And yes.. what InTheWayBoy said, in theory, sounds like it would work. I would try his way first... the only thing is is that you would have to set the permissions on their folders again for each user unless you left it full control to everyone until they all logged on again and they were moved..If you had a sneaky user on your network or someone who was looking for their "Big Chance" I would think twice..

unless you have a backup, there arent too many quick ways to reliably repair a corrupt registry... have you ran any registry cleaners or anything of that nature.. A repair installation will most likely do the trick

I get no security warnings... no pop ups, no lower performance. currently I am running about 18 processes and that included internet explorer and instant messanger. This is a non-nlited installation and beleive it or not I have no problems. I also never get hit with viruses or spyware and yes I use internet explorer (firefox for some sites).. I dont do it cause MS said so.. I do it cause there is nothing wrong with it. Do some research.. a fully patched XP is pretty darn stable and is far unlikely to get exploited. And when an exploit is found.. I patch it. if one doest come out for a while.. i turn on the firewall. no worries. It seems everybody talks about FireFox(which I do use along with IE) and how they use it cause it is more secure...... What is more secure than a service pack built with more security enhancements than the previous versions had combined. No OS is perfect, no program is perfect. Every vendor has their downfalls and we can find a problem with all of them if we try. MS makes a good product and that is one of the reasons why most of us are using their OS while writing these responses and that is why we are having this discussion on a Microsoft message board. SP2 got a bad rap because Network Admins rolled it out on their network without testing.. Unfortunately, enhancements in network security means more complex communications between clients and servers.. so it makes sense just throw it on every computer right.. I tested SP2 for more than a month and after finding what I needed to fix, I rolled it out. Anyways.. there is my rant.. you guys can keep on using your unpatched windows and your more secure firefox, cause that is what makes sense

this might be a silly answer but have you tried chkdsk ????????

I ran into this problem once before and what i did was created a policy that i had run after the original one that i made and had it redirect the redirected documents to another location where i set up the proper permissions and group policy settings..

Ya know rock.. that windows installer dll will not crash your pc nor will it make all your partitions RAW. It is a simple dll not an executable. It sounds like you were having problems before you got this far. No need to bring violence into play when all we were trying to do was help you out. @graybeafl he mentioned in previous posts that he cannot run this for some reason. So rock.. does this mean your computer needs to be reinstalled or do you still need help?

yeah.. system restore works fine.. just make sure you have enough space to run the restore.. you will want to make sure you have atleast 15% free space on your c:\ drive to ensure it will be successful

are you 100% sure that they are logging on to the domain when they log in and not just to the local workstation.... what share are they trying to access.. default admin shares will almost always prompt for a username and password.

Search for Open Volume Licensing http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/program...en/default.mspx With Open Volume.. you need to purchase atleast 5 (should not be a problem) As far as a price break.. good luck. It is still gonna cost you about the same.. BUT.. you wont have to activate each one and they can be deployed much easier. you can normally order these through many of the big name software vendors.. me personally.. I like to order mine through Dell.. they tend to keep things organized for me

I am so secure.. who needs service packs anyways. all then do is clog up your system... I have an nlited version of windows where I took so much out I dont have anything left to become vulnerable. As for what did sp2 that is useful.. it only helps protect users from exploits and makes it a safer operating system.. I have SP2 installed on all of my clients and I am not running into a single problem.. not to say there arent problems.. but I would rather fix somebody's winfax from not communicating then having a virus spread across my network.. Install SP2 and be safe... this topic is crazy

are we talking metabase synchronization failure.. what error is this causing exactly. Are you talking the ISUR_Servername passwords not sync'ing and becoming bad after a while.. Specifically what error are you getting So if MS said that a fix was made for Post SP3.. just curious.. did you up date all the way to SP4 with Update Rollup?

Then there is still a device on the network that is spitting out that domain name. do you have access to it. can you double click on the domain name and gain access to it. It could be that you have a domain name configured on a printer on the network and it is spitting out the name during browser elections... (broadcasts) If nothing on the domain is on the network, it will go away.. if it stays.. that means there is still something sending that message..
