Subject: Files keep disappearing from the winnt dir



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?

I have to ask too: When you say the files

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

We have 800 remote machines in a workgroup (not my design).

can't do domain profiles, users, domain anything.  pushing service packs is
a pain.  logging into someone elses machine is a pain, changing passwords is
a pain, setting up security policys is difficult.  if you go with a

IMO.

every admin task is local to every machine.

Subject: W2K pro in a work group


Hi folks,
Excuse my ignorance, and unfortunately I can't test this.
How does W2K work in a workgroup.
For example.
In Windows 98 once the workgroup is configured on a computer, anyone who
logs on to the workgroup using that computer is able to access the
resources.
Is this true for W2K pro.
The scenario I am envisaging is this.
I join a computer to a workgroup using the Administrator account.
Now W2K pro has far better security and each user has or can have their own
profiles, permissions etc.
If, having been added to a workgroup using the Administrator account, I log
on as a user, provided the folders on a remote computer, also part of the
same workgroup, are share to the Everyone group, would this new user be able
to access those resources without any further administration?
Or would I have to add the computer to the work group for each user that
logged on to the computer?
Thanks
mark

RE: W2K pro in a work group

Thanks,
But let me get this right.
Scenario:
two computers in a workgroup, created by Administrator.
Share a folder on computer 2, giving "Everyone" group full control.
Create an account on computer 1 for user 1
User 1 logs on to computer 1.
Can he see shared folder on computer 2?
If not, why not?
Is the solution:
Create user 1 account on each computer in workgroup?

We have a workgroup environment for one of our remote offices. You actually
figured out what you'll do. Create a user (or use the administrator account)
and let everybody logon with this username and password (same password). No
more problems.

As you know, if you have a workgroup, them the SAM database is local! That
means each W2K computer will have its own SAM and it will let access to its
resources only if the user, who is trying to acess, is defined in its own
SAM database. That's why the above solution will work properly :)

It all depends on what you're trying to do with a script. A master script

  VPN
  How are the shares set up?  Do you have them 
  set up with password access, or do you have a domain that it gets the 
  user list from?

Hi,I have set up VPN on Small Business 
Server.The LAN consists of 4 Windows 98 SE 2 computers.I 
dial in and am authenticated on the server. I can see all the shares 
onthe other Windows 98 computers.If I try and access any 
share on any other computer I get the access deniedmessage.I 
can access shares on the server however.I bring the same 
computer into the office and plug it directly into the LAN,and I 
can access the very same shares that I was denied access via 
VPN.Any ideas?Markhttp://www.sunbelt-software.com/ntsysadmin_list_charter.htmhttp://www.sunbelt-software.com/ntsysadmin_list_charter.htmhttp://www.sunbelt-software.com/ntsysadmin_list_charter.htmhttp://www.sunbelt-software.com/ntsysadmin_list_charter.htmhttp://www.sunbelt-software.com/ntsysadmin_list_charter.htmhttp://www.sunbelt-software.com/ntsysadmin_list_charter.htm

I must 
be.
I am able to 
access shares on the Small Business Server,.
I am not able to 
access shares on the Windows 98 computers.
I must be 
authenticated if I can access shares on the SBS,
Mark

  Seems to me that you are not logging into the domain when 
  you VPN in somehow...

RE: nt40 desktop not appearing

[Mark Pilbeam]

Had this once.
Turned out to be a corrupt wins database.
Deleted the database and re-booted.
Worked after that.

Subject: nt40 desktop not appearing




After I rebooted my NT4.0 SP4 development server today it returned only the
the CTRl-ALT-DEL dialog box. The NT splash banner was not in the background.
I logged in but only received a blank blue screen, no icons or desktop. No
task bar etc.

I can even hit CTRL-ALT-DEL and get the task manager dialog and that all
works, but I cannot get access to the desktop.

Anyone have any idea what the heck is going on? There is no virus, not
connected to Internet or no programs have been installed.

Thanks,

RE: 98 Workstation can't see server/Net

Subject: 98 Workstation can't see server/Net


Here's one I just don't get...

I have a client (An elementary school) with an NT server and 30 nodes
running Win 98.  They just got DSL installed so that all machines can access
the Internet.

The way the Ameritech guy set them up, all computers(including the server)
are getting IP addresses from an upstream DHCP somewhere in Ameritech. (I
know, it's not at all secure.  I'll address that with the client later.)

Most of the machines work ok with this and can see the lan and the local
server and the Internet.  About 6 of them can't get out to the internet, but
can access the server...their network configurations are identical.

On one machine I removed and reinstalled tcp/ip protocol and now that
machine can't even see the server.  I get the "No Domain Server was
available.." message.

Any suggestions on where to look, what to look for?

At some time in the future I plan on advising them to go with private IP
(192.168.x.x) for the internal network, and a firewall device like the
Linksys or something that does aliasing.

Thanks for any suggestions in advance!
Scott

RE: Printing Issue

What is the 
con2prt utility, and where do I get it from?

  I 
  dunno. I didn't waste too much time on it at the time. I used the Con2prt 
  utility, put it in a batch file and put it if I remember correctly in the 
  startup folder on the several pc's in question.

I 
am also having this issue with mandatory profiles. When I log in with an 
mandatory account to a machine ( which has two three lexmark tcp/ip printers 
installed on it ) how does it determine which printer is the one going to be 
set as the default.
 
I 
think the list of printers installed on an NT machine is stored in 
:
 
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers and the user 
setting is stored in :
 
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Windows\Device  ( another 
list of printer stored in HKCU\Sw\MS\WinNT\PrinterPorts
 
How does the machine emunerate HKLM and decide which one is set as 
default? Can we apply a weighting somehow to force it??

  Hello,
   
  i was wondering if anyone knows a way to have 
  machines print to a specific printer no matter who logs on.  for 
  example we have a computer lab and each student has their own 
  account.  they have a roaming profile so they can log into any 
  comuter in the school and retain settings etc.  server is w2k sp2 and 
  workstations are w2k pro and nt 4.0.  is there a way so when they log 
  into one of the lab computers it only captures the printers in the lab, 
  when they go to the library they only capture the library printers, 
  etc?  could it possibly be in group policy for machines?  any 
  help is greatly appreciated..
