    You can re-run syskey and change the encryption options to store the key on
    disk. This eliminates having to enter the key manually. The SAM is still
    encrypted.

    Hello all,

    Here is a good one. According to MS once you use syskey and enable
    protection of the SAM database, there is no way to reverse the process. Is
    this entirely correct? If so, I'm in a bit of a bind. I went ahead and
    enabled it without thinking that, forever after, anytime I rebooted the
    darned thing the password would have to be re-entered. Not a problem except
    it is hosted off-site and I get access only via Terminal Services.

    Any ideas? Please don't through rotten fruit since I was so stoopid.

    Cheers,

    Jeff
