Please help a NOOBIE to the core! cant access hotmail! after playing with roaming profile

[cid]

Hi


Please pardon my ignorance , i am a noobie in training.


I was playing around with roaming profiles on the server and pointed a
few accounts including the admin account to a single profile. During
the next reboot, the new roaming profile worked, so I was happy.
However, when I try to attempt at running CMD from the taskbar, I get

" your system admin as disable this feature "


I have checked and rechecked all policies to the domain , computers
and users and for the life of me I cannot figure out where I can re
adjust this so I can access ms dos. BTW , I am logged in as admin.


the other very weird thing, I am hoping that some of you guys have
seen this issue.

I cannot access hotmail. This occurred right after the roaming
profile created a new desktop for me etc..

When I first attempted at reaching hotmail, I got an error with
something to do with java script needs to be enabled. I checked the
internet options and somehow it was set to HIGH. I never set this. I
try lowering it down to medium but it wont let me. ( i am running xp
pro on the desktop )

So I went to the custom level and practically enabled everything
there. Now I can get at least to the part where hotmail asks for your
username and password, however when you press enter all I get is a
blank page without any errors! again, this happeed after I played
around with the roaming profile! I dont know why this has occurred! no
idea! the internet settings somehow were set to the max! and cannotbe
lowered. ( BTW I have checked my hotmail account with another
computer not joined to this domain, and the account works fine )



Please help

Don't use a roaming profile on your domain admin accounts. Don't even use
your domain admin accounts for much. Don't log into your server with a
roaming profile. Don't point multiple accounts at the same roaming profile
unless it's mandatory (i.e., you renamed ntuser.dat to ntuser.man)

During
the next reboot, the new roaming profile worked, so I was happy.

I wouldn't be.

However, when I try to attempt at running CMD from the taskbar, I get

" your system admin as disable this feature "

What policies were in place when you did this?

I have checked and rechecked all policies to the domain , computers
and users and for the life of me I cannot figure out where I can re
adjust this so I can access ms dos. BTW , I am logged in as admin.

On your desktop, and not with your admin account, right?

When I first attempted at reaching hotmail, I got an error with
something to do with java script needs to be enabled. I checked the
internet options and somehow it was set to HIGH. I never set this. I
try lowering it down to medium but it wont let me. ( i am running xp

I am not a GP guru, but even if I were, I still couldn't see what your
settings are (or were) - you might have more luck posting in one of the
group policy groups - I'm sure someone else will be able to be of more help.
And if this isn't a production network (I hope it isn't) perhaps restore
from tape. Don't muck around with your admin accounts/policies unless you're
very sure what you're doing.
