I have Big and serious problem ... actully in our Company we have old server and it's our Domain Server ,,, The OS is Windows NT4 Server with SP ver. 6A ,,, suddenly we faced problem with many users in our network .. they can't log in to the network ... after checking in the server ( Windows NT4 Server ) we didn't find some users there .... it was deleted .... !!!!

How ??? Why ??? we already have firewall and Norton Corporate Anti-Virus and we changed the password of the administrator ... but till now we didn't find the problem and ofcource we didn't find the solution for this problem ..

Everuday .. we found deleted users ... then we create it again ... everyday like this

Please ... any body have any information about this problem ... i'll be appriciate for him

Yours,

Waleed AL-Subaie

Do you have any BDC's Maybe the pdc is no longer the pdc and is only a bdc - and you are having some kind of strange sync issue where the sam is getting over written with a different copy, etc..

I would suggest you turn on auditing - and have a look see to exactly what is happening, it very well could be someone deleting accounts, etc..

huh? What does being in front of the server have to do with someone deleting accounts? It is connected to network is it not?

Um if you audit - you should know WHY it was deleted - even if the system is doing it. Once you know why, you can make sure it does not happen.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By Legend20 · Posted

      You are clueless. The updates are done in the background so the next time you open Edge the updates are applied automatically. There is no need to close all your tabs. Just keep browsing like you normally do. Clearly you don't use Edge and are just one of those haters that complain for the sake of complaining.

    • Windows Server gets DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support

      Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.

      Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
