Transfer an account from a 'dead' domain

- by PJC

So - following from my previous question: How do I stop DFSR replication preventing a Domain Controller from advertising Domain Services?, I lost the FSMO DC, and my only other DC was in an unrecoverable state. I've created a new domain to continue my testing, but now have an issue which I suspect is relevant to any domain suffering a "catastrophe". I have user accounts and client PCs "on the old domain". (Actually 1 client PC and 3 accounts) I can still sign into the client PC as any of those users on the "dead" domain, because that is cached. There are (thankfully) no encrypted files in the "old" domain. What I would now like to do is migrate the full content (files, preferences, etc) from the "dead" domain to the new "live" domain for any/all user accounts, for the "old" PC. Is there anything out there which can assist me in doing so?

How do I set Windows 7 as default OS but retain Windows 8 Boot screen?

- by PJC

I am dual-booting between Windows 7 and Windows 8 on a test workstation, and typically reboot 3-4 times per day. If I set Windows 8 as the default OS, I get the Windows 8 graphical boot screen, which is easy to 'see' during the boot process, but if I set Windows 7 as the default OS, I only get the Windows 7 text-mode boot screen. While I mostly want Windows 7 (at the moment), on the occasions I restart to get to Windows 8, I often 'miss' seeing the text-only boot and have to restart twice. Is it possible to (and if so, how do I) configure this such that Windows 7 is the default OS, but still having the Windows 8 boot screen appear? Edit: Just so you guys know, I've tried setting Windows 7 as the default both from the Windows 8 Boot screen itself, and from within Windows 8 -- neither of these have the desired effect.

Windows 7, Black screen with cursor, impossible to logon

- by PJC

First - I have gone through as many possible solutions I've found here and elsewhere. [Edit - to describe the issue in more detail, the PC appears to boot correctly, but instead of the logon screen, I have been getting a black screen WITH the pointer cursor, and it responds correctly to the mouse. Pressing CTL-ALT-DEL brings up the logon screen's background, but with no logon area nor any other content. This screen was at the full resolution before I uninstalled the graphics driver in safe-mode.] I also just ran a full up-to-date AVG scan from boot media. [Edit - the AVG scan, which was updated to today's virus signatures, found no issues at all.] So - steps I've tried: Safe Boot, Restore from before the issue - done, no help. Uninstall the graphics driver - done, now i have a 1024x768 fallback screen, still no way in. sfc /scannow - only doable from Safe boot obviously, but no change. [Edit - booting from restore media, performing a startup repair and...]Restore further back - restored to 2 days ago, and I'd had many reboots since then with no problem. Enable autologin to try to get beyond the login screen - done, doesn't work. It seems the best advice is complete reinstall, but I really don't want to do that because it'll take 3-4 days to add all the apps I use. Some key points to note - in both states - before and after removing the video driver, I always had a mouse cursor on the screen. CTL-ALT-DEL flashes up the login background, but no login info. I can (and often do) reinstall from scratch, but was at a fairly stable state before this, and would prefer not to. -Paul

I am trying to build tiff 4.0.2 on my Windows 7 x64 system with Visual Studio 2008, but it was showing errors: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\include\mmsystem.h(2347) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'QINT' C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\include\mmsystem.h(2362) : error C2059: syntax error : '}' C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\include\mmsystem.h(2397) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'JOYCAPS' C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\include\mmsystem.h(2397) : error C2059: syntax error : ';' C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\include\mmsystem.h(2398) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'PJOYCAPS' C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\include\mmsystem.h(2398) : error C2059: syntax error : ';' C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\include\mmsystem.h(2399) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'NPJOYCAPS' C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\include\mmsystem.h(2399) : error C2059: syntax error : ';' C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\include\mmsystem.h(2400) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'LPJOYCAPS' C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\include\mmsystem.h(2400) : error C2059: syntax error : ';' C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\include\mmsystem.h(2534) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ')' before identifier 'pjc' C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\include\mmsystem.h(2534) : error C2081: 'LPJOYCAPSA' : name in formal parameter list illegal C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\include\mmsystem.h(2534) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'pjc' C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\include\mmsystem.h(2534) : error C2059: syntax error : ';' C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\include\mmsystem.h(2534) : error C2059: syntax error : ',' C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\include\mmsystem.h(2534) : error C2059: syntax error : ')' NMAKE: fatal error u1077: "c:\program files(x86)\microsoft visual studio 9.0\vc\bin\cl.exe": return code '0x2' This is what I was doing: Extracted tiff 4.0.2 In VS 2008 x64 Win 7 command prompt setting the environment for x86 by running vcvars32.bat Changing the path to tiff 4.0.2/libtiff folder Running nmake /f makefile.vc to create a static library of libtiff Following these steps in Windows XP generates the .lib file but in Windows 7 it fails. This is the first time I'm making any .lib files.
