Can you manage and reset Windows NT passwords on a domain that do not have the Client extensions for Active Directory installed?

As I understand it, windows 2000+ computers contact any domain controller to change passwords. Since Windows NT is unable to talk to the domain controllers because it doesnt have the client extensions program, how do you change a windows NT password at the domain level?

Are you speaking generally when you say Windows NT, or do you literally mean NT Workstation 4.0? Hopefully you are using Windows 2000 or XP…..if so then you need Microsoft Administrative Tools installed on your machine to access Active Directory. This is assuming that you want to make changed remotely (not in front of the server).

Will it support dynamic linked libraries? will windows xp/vista programs still work?

Vienna utilizes a new architecture setting it apart once more from previous MS OS's; however, MS will probably attempt compatibility settings to allow older programs relying on older architectures to run; however, I think Vienna/Windows 7 isn't such a great move – Vista isn't widely accepted, is plagued with problems, and is still relatively new on the market; MS hasn't watched it long enough, and if they don't learn from what Vista introduced, Vienna could be just another bad apple in the bin. Software will always be progressive no matter what OS is introduced – it is the strive for convenience and entertainment.

We are using windows small business server 2003 with windows server 2003 as part of the same domain. How can I connect to a user's account as an administrator?
I can connect to a users account by changing their password but I would like to connect to their account with 1) not changing the password and 2) log in as an administrator so the GPO does not take effect on that account.
Thanks!

You don't. SECURITY. If you could, you could "frame" someone for sending out e-mails of an offensive nature or steal company information. It doesn't matter that you say you would never do such things – SBS is based on Server 2003 and large companies need this kind of security. Change the users passwords or if you need to test something without the GPO applying, then create a test user.

My PC crashed and now I am trying to set up a “new” used one that has Windows NT. I have my original Windows XP disc. Can I just copy over the NT?

Provided that the hardware supports XP, you can use XP disk to reformat the current system and do the clean installation of XP system

When there's a power failure, my windows server is unable to reboot. It is currently connected to a UPS.

Hi. There should be a setting in BIOS that tells the machine how to respond to a power failure. Some UPS units also have a setting.

I can't start up the laptop because it stops on the 'starting windows' screen and the asks me to insert the Windows 2000 setup CD or floppy disk. Will a Windows XP setup disk work.

No becasue it's not windows xp. Since 2000 is outdated why not just install XP on your laptop.

How can i restore my windows 2000 computer back to original factory settings like it just came out of the box?

Like it came out of the the box 9 years ago? Look at the calendar,time for a new computer.

Recently my floppy drive died. The only thing I use the floppy for is installing the ATA133 drivers (so windows can see the hard drive) if I have to reinstall windows.

The Windows XP Pro disk that I own is the original release and does not have any of the service packs on it; so during the install the only option that I see is to insert a floppy disk. Is there a way to get the installation to recognize a flash drive or a CD?

Nope. XP kind of sucks that way. It ONLY recognizes drivers on floppy disks during installation. The only alternative would be to slipstream the service packs and drivers onto a copy of XP. Use this free program called nLite for that. (WARNING: Not easy for novices)

I want to have windows on my apple laptop so I can download windows movie maker. I want a program that costs no money and doesn't require any additional software or cd's. If there is a link where I can download windows movie maker or any free windows movie making software for mac without getting windows on my computer, send me the link below.

If you have a Mac, you already have the simplest and very powerful movie editing software loaded. Unless you just don't want to try new things, I would suggest you try using iMovie.

If you can't bring yourself to do that, then purchase Virtual PC or VMWare Fussion to load Windows onto your Mac. You can't get around not loading something extra to run PC software on a Mac.
