Subject: Missing NT bootup file? Help!!
From: Philip de Lisle <pdelisle@bizonline.net>
Date: Wed, 01 Jul 1998 08:56:03 +0100
This is a real shot in the dark, but Execsoft have not gotten back to me on
this after a week, so I thought I'd ask the list <flattery> as you are such
a knowledgeable bunch of people (</flattery>
I have just been asked to evaluate Diskeeper for NT v3.0
Since I tested the Boot-time Directory Consolidation feature, I now see an
error message every time I boot up as the last thing on the blue screen
before the GUI kicks in (it is after status messages saying that the drive
is clean). The message is
"AUTOCH program not found - skipping AUTOCHECK"
What is the AUTOCH program? Is it part of Diskeeper or something in NT
itself? If the latter, please can you tell me the name of this file as I
have several NT Workstation installations and can copy the file manually to
the test PC. None of my other PCs show this message
TIA

Failed to create user account for "xxxxxx": Access Denied - You do not have the necessary access rights (5) But I do have full admin rights.Any ideas?

This is an NT file normally located in the \winnt\system32 directory and youshould be able to copy it from another installation.
Keep in mind, it is service pack specific....copy the correct one fromwhatever service pack you are at or you can get ugly results...

Philip,
Autochk.exe is a file that lives in your WINNT\system32 subdirectory. Itis associated with the winlogon.exe procedure at boot-up. The version onmy system is 410 KB dated 5/1/97.
I have never had any problems with Diskkeeper yet, but thanks for theheads-up.
Hope this helps,
Murrah Boswell

Make sure you install the post-SP3 hotfix for DNS after you reinstall theDNS service. We've been using MS DNS since NT4 came out and haven't had asingle problem with it since 12/96. It acts as our primary DNS and assecondary for a few virtually hosted domains that originally had theirprimary DNS settings pointing to a Unix machine a while back.

Has anyone seen this IE 4.01 (Win95) error message before?
Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site ftp://ftp.whatever.com. The supplied user buffer is not valid for the requested operation.
I checked MS' knowledgebase and didn't find any references to it. Afternoticing that that error message was showing up on any FTP address(starting the day before yesterday), I added the IE 4.01 Service Pack 1 tothe machine and apparently the upgrade process fixed whatever the problemwas, but in case any of our customers have the same problem, it'd be niceto know what it is and how to fix it (aside from a possible IE upgrade).
Thanks,
Josh Hillmanhillman@talstar.com

Very curious. This file exists! Maybe it is corrupt?? I'll load an new copyof it and see what happens.

Shot in the dark, but I'd guess that this might be to do with the securitysettings set to High. To get the SP1 upgrade you have to set them back tomedium.

Where can you get the Hot Fix? I didn't see it on the MS site.

I've never changed anything with security settings in IE (still set towhatever the default security value is when it's installed), and obtainingIE SP1 was no problem either (though Connexion's sites are much slower thanMS). As I said, the FTP problem just popped up out of the blue the otherday. No changes have been made to IE in any way and my .pwl file hasn'tbecome corrupt or anything either. Either way, the SP1 for IE seems tohave fixed the problem--I just don't know what the source of the problemwas to begin with.

I don't have an answer to your password question but I would have toseriously question your choice of Metainfo. We started our ISP with DNSand Mail from Metainfo. Big mistake. The mail was slow, crashed at nightso we had no mail service in the morning (once a week), I could go on.Same for DNS, slow, crashes general ugliness. We now use Bind (veryfast) with almost 100 domains and NTmail with 3-400 email accounts.
I will say that we were not using the current rev of software that is outnow, but I won't be going back.

Tech-Net subscription will get you a monthly CD with all patches and technotes. It beats hunting on the MS web site, yet if you FTP there andchange to the hot fixes dir you can find all the files....
