Here's some more info from LAN people: That's a bug (/B doesn't work) in 3.x NTServer, we haven't tried it in 4. Basically, you can't do the registry backup directly. A workaround is supposed to be to use some other command in your batch file, but around here we just don't worry about the local registries, according to LAN.

You're probably stuck doing a manual logon backup as often as you think you need to, unless you can figure some a batch command line to do it...there's also supposed to be a restore registry command from backed up winnt files if that's any help -- maybe that means you really don't need to do a special registry backup if you can find that command.

Good luck...
