If these files are really disappearing, something is removing them. There
has to be something going on on these systems to make this happen.
Could
you
run
psinfo -d -s -h
from
http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/psinfo.shtml and
pslist from
http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/pslist.shtml
and post the output?
-Matthew
Retail version of Win2k server that we got with the purchase of the
computer.
And in the System logs it shows about 25 files have been copied (or
not
if
I
don't supply the CD) by Windows File Protection.
Such as:
c_iscii.dll
busmouse.sys
bhsupp.dll
agt0415.dll
pinball.exe
ksolay.ax
is50.dll
fs2.dll
etc., etc.
What type of media (select, standard, trial, beta, etc) are you
using
to
install the OS?
Ok and more.
Just to see if the current one follows the same as the others. I went
back
to MS to get more of their patches. And NOW during the install I get
'Unknown software package" when checking for an MS signature. Again
the
same thing on all machines.
Every machine I have done a dcpromo on goes the same way. It
wants
the
CD
on
every boot and then does not find any MS signatures on subsquent
updates.
If
I try to redo SP4 (download and install later) I get a warning about
being
unable to install a non retail copy of the SP.
Yes the full SP (express refers to the installation. Like do
it
Now
rather
then download and do it later).
And yes I give it the CD and it spins and files get replaced. And
then
on
the next reboot I go through the same thing again and again.
One
of
the
machines I just leave the CD in it so it doesn't bother me
about
it.
And
it
has been doing this for over a year now. I want it to stop!
It always wants CD.
I now have three machines (all DCs) that want the Windows
CD everytime they boot.
The recent one I just built today. I installed the Win2k O/S
then did a dcpromo and then install SP 4 express. And now it
wants the CD all the Time. Nothing else has been done or
added. No Virus software yet. No other programs. Nothing but
Win2k, SP4 and run Dcpromo
The other two are the same, Win2k, SP4 and then Dcpromo and
there after they want the CD (and I have posted here for
each machine before with no answer). All I find on MS is to
apply the latest SP, well that appears to be when the
trouble begins.
This is not acceptable and it must be a MS thing as this has
happened with every machine I do a Dcpromo on with sp4.
What gives?
How do I stop it?
Where do I complain?
Where do I get my money back?
Service Pack 4 Express ??
Isn't that just an installer, that checks what you need, to pick
exactly what your PC need from the Internet.
For your reference: the complete Service Pack 4 is 129 MB large.
Does it do something with the CD if you give it one?
And after it is done with the CD, after a next boot it ask for
the CD again??
