Q.
I unlocked the console on my Branch Office (BO) server and made some changes. But after I restarted the server, all my changes are gone. What happened?

Dear Barney: Be aware that when the Branch Office server boots, it overwrites some configuration files with "clean" files to make sure that no corruption has taken place. This means that some of the changes you make while the box is unlocked have the potential of being overwritten and returned to their "default" state when you reboot the box.
