Hi All,
anyone to help on this issue,
We have a small office with Windows Server 2008 and eight Domain users, i deleted one Domain user which is no longer working with us but then we discovered that we need some important files from this domain user. I tried to recreate the domain user but when i log in it gives me empty screen. We do Back ups every week.
Any one please who has idea on how to retrieve the files from the deleted domain user
Your support is highly appreciated
thanks,
Yusufu

Recreating the user won't recreate that persons SID. Login as an administrator, find his files in the system and the admin can Take Ownership of the files, giving you access to them.
When a user is deleted, the files do not get deleted with him. They stay in the file system wherever they're at.

@ Dave
thanks for the feedback but can you expand more what to do when i log in as administrator because i logged in and found nothing in mydocument, Desktop and other location. I think may be there are further steps to view Domain files
Thanks for your support

MyDocuments shows you the files for the currently logged in user, so of course you can't see the other persons files.
You have to open either C:\Documents and Settings (Win XP and below) or C:\Users (Vista and above) to see the other persons files.
You then right-click the folder/files you want, click Properties, Security Tab, Advanced button, Owner tab. Then you can click on Take Ownership.

Mail? Depends on the system. If it's something like Yahoo, GMail, Hotmail, ... no.
If it's your own internal email system, then you're going to have to consult the documentation on it.

|

it is our webserver emails(outlook emails). what documentations am supposed to look?
thanks,
Yusufu

How about Exchange Server. If you don't have an Exchange Server running, then you're using web emails, in which case, you're S-O-L.

|
|
We do not have exchange server, what do you mean by S-O-L?
thanks

Sh*t Outta Luck
If all his email was a personal, web-based, account on Yahoo, GMail, Hotmail, and some other service like that, you won't be able to recover it since those services will not grant you access to it.

@ Dave
No, it was not Yahoo,Gmail nor Hotmail . It was outlook emails .May be we are not on the same page and correct me if i am wrong i think i am not clear with exchange server because we have our server where these emails are always copied there.
thanks you for your patience and support

Then you're going to have to find it and get the documentation on it. Without knowing what you have, it's impossible for me to help any further.

Sorry again what kind of documentation are needed?
|
|
|
|
|
ANYTHING you have on your mail server!

Hi,
Outlook is not a mail server ; Outlook is the mail client that connects to the server and fetch messages.
If you want to know which server Outlook uses, you have to go to the account's properties to see how it is configured.
It can be Exchange Server ; in that case you can reconnect a mailbox, whose original user has been deleted, to another user (this one must not have a mailbox already).
It can be a POP3 or IMAP account stored on a local server, or hosted by a provider.
But the best way to collect useful data about your mail system would be to ask the one that set it up, or, if he/she's not working there anymore, to read the documentation he must have left.
I kindly suggest you to study the mail system of the company you're working for very seriously before attempting to have any action on it

Hi,
This should be easy for an expert.
Suppose I'm in the folder C:\Windows\System32 . I want to print out only "System32".
I have found commands that give the entire path, but I want only the last bit 
Thanks,
Mel

You have posted the same question on 4 different forums; please, don't do it!
The best when asking something is to choose the forum that better matches your subject, and post a unique question explaining as better as possible what is your problem.
Thank you!

Does anyone know the script to hibernate the computer? I already found the script to log off, restart or shutdown. But not hibernate, if any one know please let me know how to write this script.
Thank,
|
|
|
|

At a windows command prompt you can do;
Shutdown /h
so you could build something around that. if you do Shutdown /?, it will give you some other options you can also use e.g. /f /t xxx, which force applications to close, and also wait for xxx seconds

I don't know if it's just me or everyone shares the pain, but when I need to change anything in a website's property, the sequence goes like:
Open IIS Manager --> Expand 'local computer' node --> Expand 'Web Sites' --> Expand 'Default Web Site' --> Drag the splitter to increase width of tree view since that's too narrow to show the site names --> Select my desired site and do what I wanted to.
That is 3 useless 'expands' and one irritating 'drag' every-time before I can do something meaningful. Gone through all the 'customization' options but found no way of making these nodes expanded by default or of changing the default width of the tree control. I really wish Microsoft had open sourced this tool so that I would've helped myself.
Does anyone know any other way of making the nodes expanded by default or of increasing the default width of the tree control?
It's better to know some of the questions than all of the answers.
Pravin.

Hi,
For that you have to create your own console, which will be able to save/restore its configuration (including column width, etc...)
So just go Start -> Execute
Type 'mmc -a' in this box
There you will get an empty console to which you can add some tools by clicking File -> Add/Remove component
Just add the IIS Management component, and format it the way you like.
Finally, save this console. Next time you will launch it, you won't have to do your customizations again.
Hope this helps. Kind regards

Wonderful.. Awesome.. Fantastic..
I can not thank you enough. You saved me at least 3 minutes of frustration every day (apart from teaching me something new). ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)
