Well, it has been "broken" for years and I could easily hack the SAM, but it
sufficed for the 1500 or so of us until we could get Active Directory
running.
What are those?
Seriously, since you're an NT guy - I'd suggest a re-install. Do the online
update when first asked. I converted over from NT/XP a few years ago and
haven't looked back.
Honestly, though, thanks to the Novell/MS deal, it is a LOT easier being a
SUSE guy in a Microsoft shop. Printing, Active Directory Integration, SAMBA
and Evolution "just work."
I can't wait to try Win2008 under SLES. Now that I understand how Win2008 and
XEN work together, I'm buying a server to host SLED and replace at least four
stand-alone Win2K and 2K3 servers with virtual 2K8 servers.
Stick with it - all will work out and you'll wonder why you ever lived with
such an archaic notion as drive letters. :P

Hi Kai,

NT?
Wow - how old was it?
Older that someone of my age can remember exactly! :-) I also just
retired my old Compuserve dial-up account. $9.95 month, with easy
access around the world.

(We just retired an eight year old NT box running as our PDC a few months
back.)
It's good to know there are still "Average Joes & Janes" out there
with a dose of old-fashioned common sense. If it ain't broke, don't
fix it! :-D

sufficed for the 1500 or so of us until we could get Active Directory
running.
Honestly, it ran fine & did what I needed. Word Processing,
Presentations, Spreadsheet, Page Layout, EMail, Internet. Noone was
ever able to clearly explain to me why I needed a "Ribbon" in my WP,
or Words-with-Wings flying faster across my presentations, let alone
get me to waste money on it!
It's getting harder to find floppy disks, though.
