Manage Domain DNS from XP Pro
Published (2009-12-01 19:07:00)
yes, you need to install the adminpak for windows xp or support tools to use the command line version. " m wrote in message ... Is there a way to add a DNS snap-in to a XP Pro MMC? What I want to do is mangage my domains DNS from the local XP MMC rather than remoting into the DNS server. Figure there has to be a way but I can't seem to find a solution.

All updates create a restore point with the title " Software Distribution Service 3.0 ". The update (s) did not infect the system. Although it's apparent that the restore point you used did not contain whatever infected the system, suggest you follow Mr. Lipman's advice to ensure the system is still clean. First, empty the %temp% subfolder *after* rebooting the system and then empty Internet Explorer's...

Thank you for getting back to me Robert. I have used this method with success myself replacing other system files. If you haven't tried it, you don't know if it will work or not. I don't say this to be rude, it is just a simple fact. If you were able to temporarily change these files before without risk, then it shouldn't hurt to try it again in Safe Mode when the WFP is not started. When the computer starts up, WFP should...

There may be special reasons for wanting an anonymous share, but in general it isn't necessary. I find that anonymous access works in Samba, but it never seems to work for me with Windows servers. If you don't want to go the domain route (and I agree it is a LOT of work setting it up where small LANs are concerned, especially as users lose their profiles) then MyLogon is a good alternative. This way the users log-on properly so...

Hello Robert, Have you tried to replace these files with the originals in "Safe Mode"? If not. Boot into Safe Mode. rename the non-working files with an extension like .bak or something that doesn't make them recognized as system files.
