Hey Mark,
Thanks for the reply. The 2K machine is part of the domain and it was
available previously, but while I was away my boss had an "expert" work on it
and set up some group policies. When I try to manage the computer I get
Unable to access the computer (name). The error was: Access is denied. I am
logged in as Administrator. This computer was set as the backup destination.
Thanks for any more help,
Mike
