>>As you have found out, the REGREST command does not support going to
>inactive
>>versions of the registry. Here is what I did to get around this......
>>
>>First, as you probably know, the REGBACK command copies the current user's
>>registry information to a directory structure named ADSM.SYS. A typical
>>structure (or should I say my structure - I have been told I am far from
>>typical :-)> ) looks like this:
>>
>>ADSM.SYS
>> |_ Registry
>> |_Lawsonj (my NT machine name)
>> |_Machine (4 files here)
>> |_ User
>> |_ADMINISTRATOR (self explanitory)
>> |_Lawsonj (My id to NT)
>> |_SYSTEM (base stuff - I think)
>>
>>When you do a REGBACK, the files that are backed up are the two files that
>>are found in the user directory for the logged in user - in other words -
>>if you log in as administrator, and do a regback - the files are in the
>>Administrator directory in the tree above. Therefore to get back an
>>older version of the registry, what you need to do is to first do a
>>manual restore of the appropriate pair of files for the user from the
>>date you desire. Then you must do a manual backup of the same two files,
>>so that they now appear as the active versions of the files. When this
>>is complete, you can then do a REGREST and restore the Registry.
>>Remember that you must be logged in to NT as the user whose registry you
>>are trying to restore. And I have always found it expediant to power the
>>machine off (not go through shut down) after the restore is complete -
>>this eliminates the possibility of overlaying the registry that you just
>>restored.
>>
>>Hope this helps.
