Yes, I had to re-install and when I did, I renamed the computer. Also, when the files were originally encrypted, the computer was a member of an AD Domain that had been decommissioned before the reinstall. ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja!~ ~

Frankly the whole process is lame and wrought with danger. First off, there is zero acceptable reason for having the put the SSN in the spreadsheet at all. HR and payroll processing should already have that data and hopefully in a secure location or a secure DB. Any even halfway decent payroll

I have to agree with Martin here, just too many security holes in this process. Here, everyone just swipes in and out, right by the door to the parking lot. Goes right to a server with a secure DB. Really no reason to not clock in and out because there is only that one door to their parking lot.
