Hi.
Just took over a DA server but there seem a few odd things going on.

Is there a way of just starting DA from scratch - wiping out any previous configs on the server etc?

Cheers

Sure, ask your DC to format/reinstall a fresh system.

Yeah I guessed that bit ;)
Only wondered if DA had a reset type script thats all......no harm in asking is there!

Remember that reinstalling DA will lose everything; be sure to back up your sites first.

LOL I was not trying to be a smart a** though I guess it did sound like it. That was directed to someone who may not know that.

DamnSkippy,

When I write replies I try to think of the archives and of someone googling a response even years later.

LOL - didn't take it as being a smart a**, I was just saying I hoped there was an easier way :) Sorry if me reply looked that way!"

In the end I took your advice and the DC went ahead with the wipe.

Just wondered if DA had a wonder script that would clear out the old guff and start over :)

Cheers all
