Thanks I presume I save this as a bat file and call it from autoexec.bat so that it overwrites this entry on every boot? Just to make sure So, I presume also this sets to 0 the logonvalidation and therefore enables me to escape to windows out of the domain logon? Sorry, I'm not reg savvy and I...

Before I do remove it does anyone know what this filename user.man is. I can find user.dat on the NT4 server but not user.man. Is there a way of concealing a profile on a server?

I tried that. I even managed this evening to boot into windows safe mode I changed the network settings from domain to windows logon Rebooted and the domain logon appeared again

I have been trying to bypass domain logon on some systems so that I can upgrade the machines All the machines are set up in a school with strict policy settings to limit student access. I have admin rights but I'm blowed if I can work out how the previous admin guy has got a script running...

NT4 can't deliver profiles to XP Pro workstations

Hello Shadow Yep, you got it! Hole in One! Now.. where's that crystal ball... Still, Symantec should have a cleaner exit strategy that offers the end user (totally non technical users generally) a user friendly restore function of the boot sector that ACTUALLY WORKS. SO, in the event of...

Thanks for all your help. I had to wipe the partitiions and re-install xp The xp fixmbr, when I eventually got to it, totally crapped out the boot record after booting from original installation cd and using repair option. Symantecs ghreboot.exe is total crap - BEWARE I appreciate all...

Thank you uzi That's precisely my question, where in the registry do I find the key to alter the settings for disabling the lock out?

Sorry what do you mean by post Hi Jack this Log?

|This time it has let me go to the next step Asking for Administrator password - which I have never put in Interesting n' est pas?

Well, that doesn't work - I might have guessed CD Recovery sees D:\windows and simply reboots when selected This is becuase Norton has crapped out the boot record
