thanks for the info

If only we could have TV's that use adware or something. Life would be grand. Interesting thought about the ad companies sueing. Never thought of that!! Actually change interesting to scary.

where do you have the login script specified? Using AD? One thing of note you have to store the script in a location it can find. the Netlogon share : C:\WINDOWS\SYSVOL\sysvol\domainname That may be part of the problem at least.

Ofcourse you are correct but that just seems a waste of a server. Then again i do not know how the current server is used. That just seems to over complicate a simple network and potentially have two holes in your network instead of one.

I know this is prolly not what you might want to do but there is an easier way of handling this situation for only like 60 bucks. Buy a wireless router (linksys or whatever) that has a switch built in. |- XPpro (directly connected) Internet ---> wirelessrouter |- Win2k3 (directly connected) | | |- XPhe (wireless) This is way is more secure (only one place to add security) and it does not leave you win2k3 server as vunerable to the outside world. This also is less confusing on the network (everything on one subnet). I know that you might not want to spend money but this will allow for better future growth that will be cheaper to implement. One last thing, this will also allows your win2k3 server to better use its resources(i.e. not wasting on routing).

If you are talking about security type patches go here! http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/security/current.asp

that would make sense. Using IE 6 -- sorry i had meant to include that on the previous post.

Overall dude it was pretty cool. One thing though. The spacing on the right margin seemed off (had about 3 inches of whitespace). Other than that it was a cool site.

you can set a manadatory profile, where they can change what they want but it won't save from log in to log in. Rename the ntuser.dat file to ntuser.man

I can't think of anything else dude. I would do one of two things. 1. Deal with it (Sucky option) and research some more (I will try to help) 2. Backup any important data and reinstall OS Not the best of options. but personally i don't like to "deal" with anything, i would reformat.

I have heard of something similar and this is what i found. They usually have AIM or yahoo messenger or something similar that starts automatically upon startup and then demands the internet connection. Two thing, either save the password so that it will connect or find the program that is requesting the internet on start up and kill it.

Can anyone tell me all the different command line switches for regedit? On a contract I had worked on we used to use a switch with regedit to find and replace entries in the registry and I cannot remember the switch. It was done in XP and I know it works I just can't remember. ARGHHHHHHHHHH! Any help will be thanked. Not much but it is something.

cool i could not remember is the user.dat and system.dat was for NT or not. never had the need to know with a NT system unlike 9x machines. SnapperOne -- sorry for the misinfo

weird?! have you checked the driver? does it play cds ok? can you explore the cd? have you downloaded the dvd codec (divX)?

interesting. good to know as i have never used in a real environment, just lab.
