My blonde moment was when I was changing the domain of a server and I didn't remember the local administrator password because I always used the domain admin. I was moving it from our test domain to our production domain. The server happened to be the new database server for our LOB app. I was very thankful that Winternals had ther Admin Pack. Otherwise I would of got to rebuild a database server that weekend as we had to be up and running at 7:30 am Monday morning. Thanks for the info on the upgrade. I am going to tackle that in two weeks. Mark

So do you have a screenshot or KB article on this aspect of your Friday?

Can this gal party or what? Next time she throws one of these all nighters, I sure hope she invites some of us to enjoy it with her :>) Maybe we should pitch in and get her a head cam so we can watch the fun in real time.
