Ya, tried that. Turned out to be something much more evil. Imail does
an....interesting thing if you TRY(read. Try) to delete a primary host and
you already have a host that exists on a dummy IP(like an internal net NIC).
Some system in IMAIL tries to reproduce deleted reg entries...I delete, they
come back.....Has to do with the IP in the reg. If delete host, then add
new host in reg, must specify a key also for IP for that host, else all hell
breaks lose. "What's you point Dave, you just keep ramblin' on".....My
point, fellas, is that the concept of backing up and restoring individual
reg keys saved my ass, as I tinkered a bit too much one time. All users
sort of....went away.
Also....tip.....If you want to protect your domains from malicious remote
host admins....like you want to protect a group of critical managers, etc
from an admin, then you edit the ACLs on the individual user keys. Then,
only way to diddle with those accounts is to have admin access(NT) to the
registry. Guessing you guys already knew that....Figured I'd contribute
the weeee bit of info I have.
