I have a Veritas backup of the C drive but this server is very much in need of a rebuild – what do you think? How good are these fixes? Is there a safer way to do this? I want a System State backup to have for disaster recovery. But I don’t want to apply this fix and wreck the sysvol =:0

Thanks for your time – it’s much appreciated.
