Incroyable HULK

First post updated... Anyone wants to take a guess at how many critical hotfixes will be necessary until Service Pack 3 is released? I'll say 84!

The thing is that Microsoft decided that WGA is a critical update and is now showing on Windows update.

Here is my story: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...paypal&st=0 The bottom line is that I can't beleive there is no investigation from the government relating to eBay and Paypal. They do wathever they want, sole judge, jury and advocate and you don't have any rights. They won't tell anything unless you open a case with your local police dept. I Trully hate them

Thanks SwedenXP! Actually, I've lost 10 pound working on my yard for 3 weeks! Here is the list of updates for this month: *** NEW *** KB922616 KB921883 KB921398 KB920683 KB920670 KB920214 KB918899 KB917422 KB905474 *** UPDATED *** KB890830 *** REMOVED *** KB916281 KB888113 KB887742

Oh crap! New updates are getting out! It looks like there is only 9 new critical patches for this month. Stay tuned!

Well, I'm back at work. I didn't had a minute today so i'll try to update the list tomorrow, sorry for the delay.

In a way, this is a tech tool... I used OphCrack a few times because I didn't have full access to a computer I had to repair. I also used this tool to make sure our Local Admin Password is strong enought and cannot be retrieved using this "easy" tool

KB911280 has been updated to Version 2...

I use EasyBoot, it's not free but it not really expensive. If you take a look at the forum you might find what you are looking for: http://forum.ezbsystems.net/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi?act=SF;f=1

For those who didnt get the joke this should help. By eye drops, they mean he jiz'd in her eye. You've made my day!

Yes you can

Maybe he wants to compress the KBxxxxxx.exe files and keep them separated in his svcpack folder...

The fun is the fact that you're not the first one who have made a remark of this kind... no offense intended

HA Ha HA AhHH Hha Aa Hh a! Gee, I'm still laughing!

Already done! Check the front page. This post has been edited by Incroyable HULK: Apr 13 2006, 07:00 AM You are correct. See my update post for updated information. Hopefully Incroyable Hulk will have the front page updated shortly.

Simulation done for WinXP SP2 *** NEW *** KB911567 KB908531 KB912812 KB911562 KB890830 (updated) KB905915 is no longer required.

I'M BACK! Sorry but my ISP was down last night so when I got home, I wasn't able to connect to my workstation at work and run my simulations... I'll try to update the first page today or at last tonight.

Well, we are currently adding those new computer manually and we always change the name and then adding them to the domain and it works without a reboot (clean install on Windows XP SP2). It may occasionally fails (about 1 time on 10 attemps) for unknown reasons but most of the times it works. This code will be part of a HTA Wizard at the end of our unattended Installation to perform some additional task like adding the inventory tag, updating the Intranet, Etc. I don't want to always add the computer to the domain that's why I want to do it this way (instead of adding them on the domain during the unattended install). What if I use my wizard to Create the computer account first on the domain? Would that work?

Hello all, I want to rename a computer and then join the domain WITHOUT a reboot. Since I am able to do so manually, I figured it would also be possible thru scripting... My code works BUT The Account created on the domain uses the old computer name (the DNS Name field is using the new name). RENAME METHOD 1 (using the registry, may be compatible with Win2K) Set shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Shell.RegWrite "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ComputerName\ComputerName\ComputerName", NewName Shell.RegWrite "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\NV Hostname", NewName OR RENAME METHOD 2 (WinXP Only) Set objWMIService = GetObject("Winmgmts:root\cimv2") For Each objComputer in objWMIService.InstancesOf("Win32_ComputerSystem") objComputer.rename(NewName, NULL, NULL) Next JOIN DOMAIN (WinXP Only?) Const JOIN_DOMAIN = 1 Const ACCT_CREATE = 2 Const ACCT_DELETE = 4 Const WIN9X_UPGRADE = 16 Const DOMAIN_JOIN_IF_JOINED = 32 Const JOIN_UNSECURE = 64 Const MACHINE_PASSWORD_PASSED = 128 Const DEFERRED_SPN_SET = 256 Const INSTALL_INVOCATION = 262144 strDomain = "AD" strPassword = "password" strUser = "username" Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network") strComputer = objNetwork.ComputerName Set objComputer = GetObject ("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & _ "\root\cimv2:Win32_ComputerSystem.Name='" & strComputer & "'") objComputer.JoinDomainOrWorkGroup(strDomain, strPassword, strDomain & _ "\" & strUser, NULL, 1 + 2) Should I create the account on the domain before joining? Do I have to use the MoveHere method of ADSI to apply the new name to the account or there is a better way? Any help appreciated

I am not sure but I think this class has been removed (or perhaps replaced?) on Windows XP 64-Bits edition (and maybe on Vista 64-Bit edition?) so I wouldn't "build" too much on this class...

You mean using the Win32_Products class?

NO WAY!!! It works! I guess I overlooked the syntax too many times!!! Thanks guys!
