I would still have a dead server without the collective. Thank you all! Without your help (over the past 67 msgs!) I would still be scratching my head. I really do appreciate all of your suggestions and help.
My w2kServerSP4 is up and running once again! And, it only took 80 Win Updates to come fully back! LOL! The ' primary application(s) for the ESET lanupdsrvr, RAS, and RAC are reinstalled and running as expected. The RAID did reformat properly. Eraser v5.82 cleared it of anything windows missed. Somehow, I gained ~200MB of space; but am not fully reloaded. ATM, I have about 1/2 of the past applications reinstalled. I have not brought the data back to the RAID yet. All in good time................ :) I did have to accept IIS, Indexing Svc, DHCP, and DNS during the default install of the Windows "Deli-basket" for the OS. I believe I have now properly de-installed/stopped/disabled the above 4 services. I no longer get event logs and login windows about "some service did not load.....". In time, I will further tweak the services. But, I will ask first! Again, thank you all for all your help. Best, Duncan
