Please log in for more thread options Steven,
That appears to have solved the problem. I was able to get into another
server that we have access to and then get into AD. From there I went to the
machine and started the RRAS service and everything started coming up. The
web sites that have connections to SQL are now working and I can see shares
on the hard drives when I drill into the machine. It doesn't show up in
network places yet but I'm sure it will before am. We'll have to wait on
Outlook but I'm sure it's working. Thanks again for the help.
