W2k Pro - Logon via dial-up onlyA user took a laptop home this weekend and had trouble logging on. On the
next attempt, he checked to box to login via a dial-up connection even though ther is no way this would have worked. Now there is no option to logon to the domain or the local machine, only the dial-up connection. My understanding is that you would need the ERD, be able to login via dial- up, or remotely connect to the machine to correct the registry setting. We don't have an ERD for this machine, no dial in connections, and the machine says that it is unavailable for remote connection in the office. Do I have any other options to get this machine back onto the domain? Thanks, Dave Patnaude

You would need to edit the registry to correct this, but we have no way to get to the registry. David Patnaude wrote:
