Yah the thing is that the security configurations are not stored in the registry, otherwise I could just boot into a boot disk and regedit and flip it off.

You could also try restoring the previous security registry hive. ------Original Message------ From: Benjamin Zachary - Lists To: NT Issues ReplyTo: NT Issues Subject: RE: Calling Security Experts.. Sent: Sep 1, 2009 12:06 AM Thanks I get your login is denied due to access rights or something whenever I try to access any share. Im going to try booting w/ bartpe and then copying over secedit from the windows\security\database folder and see where that gets me. -----Original Message----- From: Greg Sweers [mailto:gswe...@actsconsulting.net] Sent: Monday, August 31, 2009 10:40 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: re: Calling Security Experts.. Ben, Have you tried from another workstation connecting to the c$ drive using the local system credentials. This is assuming that its not a DC. net use z: \\servername\c$ /user:%computername%\localadminacct If this works and it should since its a network login not a local login, open the mmc and connect to the computer management on that machine. Go into local users and groups and remove authenticated users and interactive as users. This will make the administrator account effectively not a "USER" You should be able to log on locally afterwards. I know this worked for me on a 2k server. Not sure if it changes things for 2k3. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
