Greetings,
In my office one user has set permission on c: and it subdirectories as NO ACCESS for ADMINISTRATOR. so now the problem is no user on domain with administrative previlages can login on the workstation. The local administrative login is also not working. so please tell me guys how to remove this no access for administrator on thwe workstation. Is the workstation now out of use or needs formatting.
regards,
vijay

Smack the user and reload the system...

Well, at least smack the user (and remove his admin privledge) ... :)

Install a second copy of NT on the system (in different directory) using the boot disks or boot from CD. The installation should automatically set the permissions on the system to allow administrator access to all files. If install has no problems then check to make sure C: has administrator group in permissions. Reboot into original install and check access.

If this doesn't work then make the user buy lunch while reloading his system.

Good luck

If you can see the root of any public shares on that drive over the network, go to properties, Security, Ownership. Take ownership of the drive/share and you should be able to set things back the way you want.

Good luck.

Hi Vijay,
Create a user say "tempadmin" & grant him admin rights. Now login with "tesmpadmin", change the permission for C: folder & restart the server.

Go to user manager and change the password for the user that can logon to the workstation and change the permissions that way.
