he is mcsd and subscribes yearly to all new stuff, assume he gets all new
stuff and not upgrades, well I know that with this because he done a clean
install,
When he did a change from one server to another, he had to call service to
get the 5 client add pack and a new password, he then went on and got 2003
and killdisked the HD and started fresh.
I assume from your post all I need to do is call help desk and give them the
details and they will give me a new password etc?
