How to reset the domain administrator password on Windows Server 2008 with just the Windows Installation Disk

it seems there is a need for this. I quote here

Insert the original Windows Server 2008 installation DVD.


Reset the computer, boot from DVD.

Choose option "Repair your computer".

Start command prompt.

C:\

CD C:\Windows\System32

MOVE Utilman.exe Utilman.exe.bak

COPY Cmd.exe Utilman.exe

Restart windows

At the login screen, type Windows-U, this fires up cmd.exe now

NET USER administrator

Presto! Login as administrator!

Now repair computer again and move the original Utilman.exe back.

There are a bunch of commercial tools to reset the administrator password, but there is no need for it! Furthermore most of them seem to reset just the local administrator account's password, rather than the domain administrator password.

dlink dap 1150 as a repeater for linksysWRT54G2)

check the latest firmware and documentation from dlink website.

get my notebook working with the repeater.

problems encountered:
the nb keeps connecting to the old one, restart nb, disable/enable nic seemed to be able to switch to the new one.  there is special instruction in the repeater manual on how to force it to the new one. in short it needs 3rd party in the notebook to handle it. I wonder what will happen when I install a wireless printer upstairs.

at times, my nb seems connect to the new one stably, but initially not getting an ip address. I can manually specify an ip address, then boom, its all fine. next bootup it will get one ip from the dhcp server.

now, I need get the customer's notebook working with the new repeater.
