reinstalled windows NT 4.0 sp4 on a Dell Poweredge 1300. Told the system it was a PDC. Now, when I've logged onto the system, I cannot get to user setup or server manager as it tells me that the network path could not be found - what is going on?

Okay

First of all

IS this a machine part of a larger network (read domain)or did you just startup a network ( domain ) and is this the first machine ( has to be PDC if you start a domain)

If this is not and you have a domain the proper procedure should be
First demote the PDC to a BDC
Promote a BDC to PDC
Reinstall the software and setup as a BDC
LAter switch PDC to BDC and the new ( fresh machine)to PDC back again
Futher more I advice to install SP 6a at all time

You can email me direct if you like
