System File Checker

[Jen]

Does anyone have a list of the Windows Server 2003 files
that are protected and would be checked by the System
File Checker? Ref
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-
us;310747&Product=winsvr2003

Or are there any general across-the-board statements one
can point to to summarize what most of the files are?
(ie, all .exe, .dll, .ocx & .sys files under %SystemRoot%
\System32 ?)

Thanks.

Just look at the files in the %Systemroot%\System32\Dllcache folder.

Generally, most of the files are .DLL and .EXE files that reside in the
\system32\ folder, at least this was the case in Windows 2000. My Windows
2000 machine contains 203 .EXE files and 674 .DLL files in the dllcache
folder, and 280 .EXE and 1100 .DLL files in the system32 folder. I suppose
some of the uncached files could be from non-Microsoft third party apps.

Jen,

There is no list published, and if there were, Microsoft would constantly be
revising it.

In general, any MS file that contains executable code is protected.

You can enumerate all the protected files on a machine using the
SfcGetNetxProtectedFile. (See the SDK.) But you've got to realize that the
list may vary from machine to machine.
