Like already said in antoher post: http://lazynetworkadmin.com/content/view/27/6/ You'll also need to remove read acces to %systemroot%\inf\usbstor.inf to avoid reinstallation of usb storage driver. Google and microsoft search would also give you a lot of results.

Here is what microsoft offer to change services start order: http://windowssdk.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us...y/ms681957.aspx

You could try to use vfd (which can emulate a virtual floppy disk) to create a floppy disk image. Then just burn it making a bootcd with nero (you're allowed to choose a floppy disk as boot). If vfd doesn't work on your system, you can use a real floppy then make and image with winimage (for example). Also if the cdrom doesn't boot using the previous method then you should use a cdrom bootloader like boot cd wizard or cdshell.

Just my 2 cents, Quest software has an interesting utility which save/restore entire AD from a online DC. It is very expensive but seems to do a great job. Here is the link: http://www.quest.com/recovery_manager_for_active_directory/

You could try to use sys.exe after booting from a winpe based on windows 2003. Sys.exe is part of the OPK. I am not sure if it works with NTFS perhaps you'll have to first convert your partition to FAT32. But if the fixmbr and the fixboot method doesn't work, i don't know any other simple solution. Did you tried to first copy the missing files from d: and then use chkdsk /p, fixmbr \Device\HardDisk0, fixboot c: ? In last, i'll rename the Windows folder from a winpe or an other windows and try to reinstall without formating in the same folder. Then remove the newly created windows folder and rename back the old one.

The default delimiter is space so setting it to something that isn't in the lines will force %%i to take each entire line.

Perhaps this will work: for /f "delims=;" %%i in (`mawk -F\t "$7 ~ /agin/ {print NR}" v.tsv`) do (mawk -f record.awk -v rec=%%i v.tsv) But i am pretty the following will work: mawk -F\t "$7 ~ /agin/ {print NR}" v.tsv >%temp%\temptxt.txt for /f "delims=;" %%i in (%temp%\temptxt.txt) do (mawk -f record.awk -v rec=%%i v.tsv)

If you absolutely want same user account to use different profiles path then i don't really see the point of using a roaming profile for users. But anyways you can set the AD rights to allow each user to modify his own account profile path and then use a logon script to make the switch. But a user still have to log twice to use the right share. And you might encounter stranges behaviours as if a user log onto a computer from Ou1 and log onto a computer from Ou2 then his profile from Ou1 would be first copied to the computer and then at his next logon on this computer his profile from Ou2 would be copied and replace the original profile. There is perhaps a simplier solution: If your profiles shares are set the same way, you could use a netbios alias which would use one server or another depending the computer. Ex: Computers from Ou1 must use share1 which is \\server1\profiles\%username% and of course there's a different folder for each user. Computers from Ou2 must use share2 which is \\server2\profiles\%username%.... In this case, you can set up an alias either by using the lmhosts file or a Static wins entry (if you use wins you need at least two wins server which must not be synchronised). For our example, you'd have to set profiles for all users to "profilesserver" and use a gpo to modify each computer lmhosts or wins configuration to use either server1 or server2: server1 has IP1 as ip address server2 has IP2 as ip address If you add with a gpo, the following line to lmhosts of computers from Ou1: IP1 profilesserver #PRE Each user using thoose computers will use server1.

You should try to put an entry in the lmhosts instead of the hosts file.

No that's not what i had in mind, firstly you create 2 Ou named for example Unit1 and unit2 then put users you want to set profiles to share1 into unit1 and users you want to set profiles to share2 into unit2. Then i would schedule a task to launch something like that (try it before on some tests accounts as i made this lines from memory): dsquery user Ou=unit1,dc=yourdomain,dc=com|dsmod user -profile share1\%username% dsquery user Ou=unit2,dc=yourdomain,dc=com|dsmod user -profile share2\%username% This way each user put in the right Ou will have the right profile.

Not sure if this will help but here is what i'll do: - make an image of the installation in case of there is a problem after applying service pack 2. - reinstall Service pack2 and then after reboot reinstall all security updates since sp2. Microsoft doesn't give much information about this stop error : i only found this with might be usefull. But perhaps someone like Cluberti could analyse a dump.

The only way i could think about is to use a batch script using dsquery and dsmod.

Perhaps there are still active printing jobs.

I would change this line echo user %my_id% %my_pass%>> ftp_conn.txt to echo user %my_id% >> ftp_conn.txt echo %my_pass% >> ftp_conn.txt

Default video driver usually support at least 800x600x8. Anyway it's depending on the video card model. Try to set it from command line with setres.exe (google for it).

Like Nitroshift said, windows can't find the filesystem. You should check in disks administration if the partition is still seen ( from the screenshot it shouldn't be ). From here you have 2 choices : - You need the data that was on the drive and you'll have to try to restore the partition or the data using for example acronis disk director (partition recovery) or R-studio (data recovery). - You don't need the data that was on the drive and in this case, you can try to destroy the partition and createit again using disks administration.

You can try a gpo with startup batch script: net localgroup administrators primary.domain.net\administrator /add

Try this: setlocal dir /s /b c:\*.abc >c:\dir.txt set detected=no.no for /f "delims=;" %%i in (c:\dir.txt) do (set detected=%%i) if "%detected%"=="no.no" goto end echo file detected: %detected% :end endlocal

Did you tried to check with a single drive ? Nforce performance in raid aren't usually very good because it's software raid. If you need faster performances, buy an hardware raid controller with cache.

If you're behind a firewall, your NT4 will be safe. You don't risk more than using an unpatched XP behind a firewall.

Did you tried something like that: net use * \\remotecomputer\c$ /u:remotecomputername\administrator administratorpassword ?

Then i would only suggest to try another cable. Completly forgot, are both network card configured to autonegociate the speed ?
