RE: script to check workstation domain membership
Hi I am looking for a command line util that will allow me to check if a workstation is a member of a domain, if it is I want to delete the account and recreate it, then add the workstation. If not create the account and add the workstation. Its for rebuild scenarios using sysprep, it will log in, run this script, then reboot.

RE: God rights for account administrator was Event log full but access denied error?
try removing and re-adding the permissions. If that does not work, try adding everyone full control and see if you can access it, if you can access it then, tighten the permissions a little and try again, if you cant then try different accounts, then you will find what is causing the problem if its a permissions problem.

OK Thx Damian...so i just put say user fred as a member of schema admin and I'm god?? right?? Tony Quite power hungry! ;-) God in 2k is different, depending on what you define as God. There is a Schema admin, which holds rights to modify Schema, personally I find this one the most frightening. There is also Enterprise Admin, which you should think of as a Domain Admin of all domains, root and child. Then there is Domain admin for the current domain you are connected to. Hope that helps, just be security concious.

Yes you can remove everything in that dir., take the event log service offline remove the files then restart it. Nope, can't remove files in the event dir, as says file in use. can't stop event service as it doesn't have a stop button. Can't change settings on event viewer as when you click on disable, the hourglass just sits there, forever and doesn't do anything.

RE: e-mail privacy - where do we stand
If we IT techs are debating whether it is legal (we should know), then I dont think that the CEO will know. Unless he has solicitors onsite that could help, I would assume that he would make his own decision regarding how to deal with this. This decision would most likely be along company policy, if he was smart he would consult a lawyer during this process. I am not a lawyer and can not answer whether it is legal, but I assume even though the company owns the information it is still a case of invading privacy. Maybe if there was prior consent from the worker involved, it would not be invading privacy. Does anyone know anything about this ? Can anyone answer this from a legal point of view. All I can give are maybe's and assumptions. -Original Message- From: Ryan McBride [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, 10 September 2001 3:56 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: e-mail privacy - where do we stand Okay Scenario: A Manager has it in for a staff member. After hours with out the staff member knowing the Manager is snooping through the employees emails without prior consent from Upper Management/Ceo/Etc or the Employee. Forget what they find, thats irrelevant. Legally as far as you know can a manager decide without permimission from the Top Man who makes these decisions to snoop an employee email account. Is that Illegal?? I know it is Imoral unless s/he has reason to suspect there could be damaging information to the company in there.
