Phew false alarm... site crashed... still having some strange things going on. anyway... read the previous post to catch up...
continued...
6:30p Cookin now figured out a quick way to kill the .dll files and tftp scripts.
8:30p Looks like a complete reload is in order flatten the drive and start from scratch... about 12-15 hours with my setup is my guess.
8:45p Despair... some of the files I need are not on tape and are on the machine just shut down earlier time to turn it on...
8:55p Machine won't boot all the way. Just get an explorer screen and soon as that happens it starts crunching.
9:30p Still can't get past the file mess on this server others holding up ... so far!
10:30p F' this ... I decide I'm going to start replacing files and hope for the best.
11:30p Using DOS I was able to mount the box from a win98se machine and rename explorer.exe. Then in an act of stupidity I copied a known good copy over. Now machine boots to windows but it keeps restarting over and over and mean just the screen not the whole shutdown business
11:45p DOS again smak on the HotFix from M$ into the winnt\profiles...\desktop so I can see it flash by... and I stab it! It worked!
12:30a All servers seem to be working
1:30a Ok all system are running and fine going home in minute
