You might be surprised how many accounts there are on the Eval...

But the eVal comes with it pre-installed. How do you turn it off
PERMANENTLY....

I guess

DIRM USER WITHPASS

To get the directory, 

FORCE DIRMAINT

And edit the AUTOLOG1 "PROFILE EXEC" so DIRMAINT doesn't start... 

Just make sure you have the sysvol as your 123 before so DIRECTXA will
work...
