Hi,
Intrigued, and I
thought it was just me.
Recently I spoke to an admin who was telling me
the same thing.
He lost all his printers,
and then some of his .dll's went missing
too.
No idea what is going on,
but his PDC is grinding away like a concrete making
machine.
Is it possible that the
mft is corrupted, possibly caused by wear and tear, (the server hasn't been
reimaged or re-installed for over 5 years.)

disappearing from the winnt dir
I
have been running this system for about 5 years, been in the business for
about 17 years. What I am saying is that the files are gone. Vanished. Not
there. Thyey are missing. If I try to run explorer from the start menu,
nothing happens. So, I go to start > run > and run the explorer.exe
which I have stored away in a seperate directory in case it vanishes from the
winnt dir.
I am
just asking if anyone has had the occasion of, maybe a corrupt system, and has
experienced this before? I don't think any other files are missing, could be
but I know the ones in the winnt are missing. I can copy them in there, see
them, run them, and 30 minutes later they are not there. Take my statement
literally...the files are gone, caput, vanished, not visible and all other
meanings of "not there" etc. :)))))))

I have to ask too: When you say the files are
missing - and yet you can run explorer from CMD - are you saying you can't
see them in Explorer or can't you see them from cmd prompt. Or - even better
- if you boot from floppy to cmd prompt are they there then? Is it FAT
or NTFS partition? Are other files 'missing' in other
directories?

I am the admin. I can login ok, but I can't run the explorer. I
have to do a start > run > explorer. I've placed it in a different
area. Remember, only the "files" are missing in the winnt dir. There is
not much in there that you need to login.
John
I have to ask, how is it that you are able to log in if all of
the files in the winnt directory are gone? Are you sure that you
can't see them but they are there?

No,
actually, I haven't. that server is not involved in any email
clients or not used by anyone. It is a backup server tied to
one other server. That's it.

Just for the halibut, have you run a full
AV scan on this server?
I am having a sort of weird problem on one of my NT4.0 SP6a
servers. A while back I had to clean the server - chkdsk - seemed
to work ok.
After that this problem keeps occurring. One day I noticed
that the files - not any directories just files - in
the c:\winnt directory were gone except for two of them. I copied
the files from another identical NT box in to this server's winnt
directory. A day or so later they were gone again. I copied them
into the dir again, a day later they are gone. I KNOW that the
server does not have any viruses. I can only figure that the
server may have a corrupt file system and needs to be cleaned once
more.
Any suggestions?

Hi there guys,
I am
new to the list and have been lurking the last few days, I must
say there is a lot of knowledge that flows through here, I would
like to try and tap some.
I am running an NT4 server with SP6a, using a
product called Wingate('cos I don't know how to use Proxy) as a
web sharing proxy box. Occasionally I get this Out of
Buffers errror. I have searched the wingate kb and MS but
am struggling to find a solution. Any ideas?
Regards,
Jason Dwyer
