All the suggestions that people were making for NT-based OSes apply. If you're getting password prompts or access denied messages, that either means you don't have privileges with your current domain account, or the computer isn't a domain member. To test the former, try using an account in the Domain Admins group for your probes. If it's not a domain member, see if you can guess the admin password. If you can't guess the password, the security features are doing their job and keeping an unauthenticated attacker (you) out. If that's the case, the follow-the-blinking-lights idea is prolly your best bet. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ CONFIDENTIALITY STATEMENT: The information transmitted, or contained or attached to or with this Notice is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain Protected Health Information (PHI), confidential and/or privileged material.
