Hi Jason, Well I was wondering if there were any registry keys that could be added or modified that would do that... I think we wont need any thirdf party software for that... I was wondering if any one has come across that on any of the resource kit utilities... I have no knowledge of the resource kit utilities as such yet. Anyways thanks again. -----Original Message----- From: Jason Ballard [mailto:jasonb54@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Saturday, February 23, 2002 6:44 PM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: Win 2K Reboot options http://www.ISAserver.org Hey Muqeem, Sorry but I have never seen a product that could do that. Maybe someone else in this list has? You might want to direct that email to a W2K newsgroup specifically.

I have read and downloaded the VM Ware.. infact I know of its existence since the last 2-3 years, the question I was asking was that I know of the dual booting feature of Win NT 4.0 and Win 2K... I needed to find out if I can add more options to the default restarrt options that win 2k provides.... if you say shutdown.. it comes back with the followign options.. log off shut down stand by and restart I want to have the following options when i say shut down... I have to following instances of server on my machine and the boot.ini file has been edited to reflect the names or instances of the operating system installed as................ blah blah blah.... server server VGA Mode server (Domain) server (Workgroup) I would like to have the following options on my restart command... that it should ask me as to shich instance it should automatically reboot to.... I mean when you reboot the machine.. it either reboots to the default option or waits for you to point the option you wanted...thats the only two ways you can configure the boot.ini file.... I want to have the following options when i want to reboot the server. log off shut down stand by restart (server-domain) restart (server-workgroup) -----Original Message----- From: Jason Ballard [mailto:jasonb54@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Saturday, February 23, 2002 3:41 PM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: Win 2K Reboot options http://www.ISAserver.org Muqeem, This would be known as configuring a dual-boot system. Dual-booting would give you the option to choose the OS you want to load but only one OS would be available on the network at a time. A better option is to load VMware. VMware lets you configure virtual machines running on top of the host OS. For example, you could build your W2K machine as a member of the domain. Then install VMware 3 workstation, configure a virtual machine with W2K as member of a workgroup and then you can work with the W2K server in the workgroup while you host OS continues to be available on the network. Check out VMware for more details... http://www.vmware.com/ Jason -----Original Message----- From: Muqeem Syed [mailto:Syed.Muqeem@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Saturday, February 23, 2002 7:22 AM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: Win 2K Reboot options http://www.ISAserver.org Hi All, Though this is not an ISA related issue, butI thought I could still try it with the Guru's here. I would like to set restart options on win 2k machines.. I mean if I have a machine with multiple instances of win 2k installed on it, and say I had one instance that was confgiured to log on to a domain and another instance that is configured to be a member of a workgroup.... is there any registry setting that I can include to prompts me to choose an opeiton when I want to restart the machine ... asking me which instance should the machine reboot to... Say i was running an instance and was logged on to my domain.. now for testing purpose... if I wanted to reboot to the instance that is configured to be a part of the workgroup.. the only options that I have noticed is that it reboots to a specific instance by default... after waiting for 30 seconds.. or I can configure it to wait till a particular instance is chosen.. is there any way that I can have 2-3 reboot options which ask me which instance it should reboot to .. when it restarts again.
