Hi Folks,

A couple of points on the GREAT NT DEBATE :).

The new client code 2.1.0.5 can backup the registry and system files.
It can also be installed as a service.

Kelly,

I have been dealing with similar problems to your's, we managed to correct it
in the end by checking that passwordaccess=generate was not set in the
options file, then refreshing the password on the server and then on the
node using UPDATEPW.  The customer was then able to install the service
using the utility provided.
I don't know for sure if this will work in your case but I hope it helps,
we also looked in the registry and found it looked almost exactly the same.
The log on part is that you have to be logged onto the NT box with admin
priviledge when you try to run the service install utility.

Thanks

Dave
