yeah...basically i'm follownin the steps on this page... http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm and since i have a dns server on our lan...the local dns service was messin up but all is workin now...

found it....i had the local dns client service running.... i just put in my login script net stop dnscache but thanks for the reply

i have added some entries to my host file... 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.0.1 music.yahoo.com 127.0.0.1 music.msn.com 127.0.0.1 zone.msn.com 127.0.0.1 games.yahoo.com 127.0.0.1 games.com 127.0.0.1 miniclip.com 127.0.0.1 www.miniclip.com 127.0.0.1 games.net 127.0.0.1 www.shockwave.com 127.0.0.1 shockwave.com 127.0.0.1 www.realplayer.com 127.0.0.1 realplayer.com 127.0.0.1 www.real.com 127.0.0.1 real.com yet when i ping any of these hosts...i do not get the 127.0.0.1 i get there actual ip address, and i can browse to that site in both ie and firefox.... i have rebooted flushed dns, nbtstat -r R RR any clue guys?

drill down to the actual file in the system32 rightclick\properties check the securties tab see if you have permission to run it... also... what type of user are you? poweruser, admin, limited user? if you are a limited user (not a admin) you may not be able to run it... i have never tested this...as i am always a admin....

so your running pro...but your trying to use a home cd? anyway.. do a search in your system32 directory for ntbackup.exe if it's not there...then thats why it's not working....

his orginal post was closed... http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=68679

you should probally be lookin in a linux forum....

2000 active directory with exchange 2003 in my domain i have a password policy.... password policy - enforce password history = 5 passwords remembered maximum password age = 180 days minimum password age = 1 day passowrds must meet complexity requirements = enabled account lockout policy - account lockout duration = 5 min account lockout threshold = 5 invalid logon attempts reset account lockout counter after = 5 min if an account gets locked out....the "reset account lockout counter after = 5 min" dosn't work...i have to go in manually in ad and unlock the account.... any clues?

um...maybe he only has the oem home cd, maybe he isn't licensed for pro or a server os... maybe he likes to stay legal and not break the ms licensing so why don't u use some common sense...

just recreate the folder....

one word....google

another reason why these forums are so frustrating.... no details... oem hardware or custom built pro or home edition using the orginal cd or not clean install or upgrade.... ect ect.......

how about hooking up an internal floppy during your setup? then when your pc is all done installing....just yank out the floppy drive and hook it up to the next pc ...so on and so on.... during the setup...the windows cd looks for the winnt.sif on the floppy drive ..if the winnt.sif is not on the cd itself. if you try to hook up a usb key...that key will not be the a: drive but more than likely the e: drive or some other letter..... i would also look into cloning....like ghost you set up your master image....sysprep it..take a snapshot of the image and reclone it to the other computers..... you can reimage a pc in a matter of minutes with all the software...updates ect....

cool...thanks guys

i upgraded my mobo to a amdx64 ect...installed xp pro x64... i couldn't wait to buy a sata drive...so i used my existing ide hard drive...ect... now...when i get the chance to buy a sata drive....can i just clone the ide drive to the sata drive? i have much experience cloning ide to ide and sata to sata.....but never ide to sata is this possible?

are you talking about editing the registry in the ghost image?

ok..so we all agree...seco is either gonna have to slave his hd and get his data off...or create a live cd to reset the pwd. seco post back if you need more help.... good luck

password jumper?....this would be for the bios password....not the windows password a password jumper for windows admin account....haha did you read seco's posts at all?

you have several choices here.... take out your hd and slave it to another pc and suck off the data you want. or ghost your hd and suck off the data you want with ghost explorer.. or you can create a bart pe cd and download this plugin http://sala.pri.ee/renew_1.1-BETA.cab create your cd with the plugin.... boot up the cd..and run the utility to reset your admin pwd.

first off...your topic subject is way offline... your topic subject should be "forgot password" or forgot admin password" (read the forum rules!) 2nd...can you logon to the pc at all? i would hope you just don't logon as the default "administrator" account. if you don't logon as the default "administrator" then you can reset the admin password through the "User accounts" in the control panel. or from the command prompt type this in... net user administrator * then type in the password of your choice.

no..he's joking... why don't u answer his question?

windows 3.1? wow
