Server W2K3
Client W2K SP4
Client logs on as Bennett on the domain, with strict Group Policies. The user doesnt have access to anything but the desktop which cycles a screensaver showing the latest sales etc...
However, the nic on the system has been disabled and as the GPO is strong the user cannot get to Network Settings to re-enable.
The user has admin rights on the machine, but the GPO is restricting most things.
Can the user, re-enable the nic via dos/command prompt?
I have tried installing a wireless nic so that an admin (myself) can logon to the domain via my user info, not playing ball tho. Windows 2000 only connects the wireless lan within windows and not whilst loggin me on, so it still cannot find the domain.
Clutching at straws i checked doc+settings to find a list of all the other users who had logged in, found one, who doesnt have the GPO applied to him, logged in, but cant re-enable the nic due to admin rights
the other thing is, no-one knows the admin login, we normally use a set login, not this time - ****ing typical! so thats out of the question!
so.
is there a way to bypass the GPO?
safe mode still has the GPO applied - way round?
is there a super duper admin, which overwrites all?
can i add a local user with admin rights via command prompt/dos?
ive tried Windows PE (xp) to try and help but the machines a crappy 450mhz with 128mb ram, so thats a no go.
tried windows 98 boot disc, but not sure why!
is there a repair function in 2k?
what options do i have?
looking like a rebuild
specially considering ive been there 3 hours after work trying to do it! could have rebuilt it in that time, maybe!
help!
