Explorer doesn't remember my folder pane!
When you double-click on My Computer, it never shows the folders or Explorer
bar. When you right-click on My Computer and Explore, it does. Here’s how to make
Explorer the default choice:
Double-click on My Computer, go to Tools, Folder Options, File Types, and find
the file type of FOLDER with extension of (NONE). Click Advanced, Explore, Set Default.
To imagine the possibilities, look at Advanced for the .DOC extension and see how

Yes SBS2003 must be configured as a domain controller otherwise it will shut down every couple of hours. But AD is a pretty heavy task for your server. But if you don't need Exchange and all the other applications that will come with SBS then is there a workaround to keep your machine running without AD.
Start your machine in safe mode. Rename the sbscrexe.exe file. Open the registry. Goto HKLM\System\CurControlSet\Services\SbsCore right click.
Permissions. Add your own account, remove the system account > click advanced > and replace the rights below the SBScore.
Now export this key, you'll never know. :cool:
And after that delete the key and restart your system,
My machine is now just a normal server without AD and still running for 2 day's
Gert,

Pesky Errors in Event Logs
Event ID 8
This can also be caused by a mapped printer from a terminal service session being deleted when the user logs off. Went into print server properties on FRAPP01 and unchecked "log print info" check boxes.
Lots of failure audits from two machines.
On his machine go to users in control panel. Open his user name and click on manage network passwords. If his password has been changed on the server make sure any entries here are updated too.
- Did he have persistent mapped drives and recently changed his password? When mapping drives, sometimes the password is cached and when the login password is changed, the mapped drive connection is still using the old password.
- Did he install any applications that required a new service to run? If so, did he use his own user account to start and run the service?
I had this a while back and found out that it was a virus. think it was the (something like this). spybot.gen.y virus.
It disguises itself as the msn messenger exe (msnmsgr.exe). latest dats from mcafee pick it up definite, maybe worth running a full scan.
