Re: How to change DNS properties without logging in?

DNS settings should have no effect over your ability to log in
locally to the machine with a machine local (non-domain) account.

You can set Tcp/Ip config, including DNS settings, using a script
that accesses that machine remotely via WMI.
With your parallel install you could mount the registry of the
primary install, edit the Tcp/Ip reg values _carefully_, dismount
that registry file, and then try booting the primary system.

However, DNS really should not have anything to do with your
ability to log in with a local account.

What errors are you encountering?

How to change DNS properties without logging in?

Hey guys,

I thinks somehow the DNS properties of my win2000 machine is screwed
up and it is not letting me logging in even as local computer. I
installed parallel OS in another drive, which works fine. Is there
anyway I can change the DNS properties of my source OS (either using
this new parallel OS or any other means) to enable me to login?

Thanks a lot for your help.
