i agree with you guys but then the SAM files on the workstation could also contain the login name and password of the admin since the admin would log in first locally to do the settings of the workstation to add it to the domain..

i wasnt refering to the actuall SAM file in the PDC...
and a lil correcting to that tut.. the PDC only sends a copy of its SAM to the BDC not the workstations.. sorry my bad.. i didnt notice the mistakes in that tut..

and yeah.. im not sure if it does work on 2000 coz i never tried it on 2000... and i did saw a SAM file in the 2000 repair folder but im not sure if it works thesame as NT4.
