Thanks for the refund! Do you know of a webhosting that offered what MSFN did I really enjoyed the Awstats MSFN provided.

Actually I did not receive my refund. I had paid for a year and have about 6 months left.

Why did MSFN Hosting go out of business so abruptly. I had 2 notification days to find new hosting. It's a shame I really liked MSFN hosting.

How can I tell what type of CAL is installed on Windows small Biz Server? I need to add CAL's customer is adding workstations and I need to purchase CAL's, but do not know what type was originally installed. Any Help will be greatly appreciated.

that script you wrote is much shorter than mine. I can update my script to automaticaaly generate the svcpack.inf file also if anyone would be interested.

Hello, I have not posted much, but I have enjoyed all the information about making unattended Windows CD's here. I was annoyed at renaming the KBXXXXXX.exe files to update my svpack.inf file I wrote a little perl script to auto rename files once you download them. I know most of you already probably had a solution to this. I am just starting perl so if you find any better to the solutions or suggestions feel free to comment. Hope this may help some one. kypumper #!C:\PERL -w ############################################################################ #### Written by kypumper feel free to modify or comment #################### #### email suggestions to kyumper+msfn@gmail.com ########################### ############################################################################ $i=0, ############################################################################# ### uncomment the chdir function if you want to specify a dir where you hotfix files are located otherwise run this ### ### script in the same dir as your hotfix files. ############ ############################################################################# #chdir ("New Ones") || die "cannot change dir: ($!)"; @oldfiles = glob "Windows*.*"; ############################################################################## ### This Loop matches files that match "KB and have digits that follow" ###### ### then extracts just that part of the filename so the oldfiles array can ## ### be renamed with the newfiles array. ###################################### ############################################################################## foreach (@oldfiles) { $_ =~ /(KB[\d]+)/; $newfiles[$i] = "$1.exe"; ##### Testing to see if file exists ######## if (-e $newfiles[$i]) { warn "Can't rename $oldfiles[$i] to $newfiles[$i] exists \n"; } ##### Renaming File and printing a success indication ########### elsif (rename $oldfiles[$i], $newfiles[$i]) { print "Renaming $oldfiles[$i] to $newfiles[$i] \n"; } ##### Warning if program cannot rename files ###### else { warn "rename $oldfiles[$i] to $newfiles[$i] failed: ($!) \n"; } ### Increments thru the arrays ###### $i++; ### End of foreach loop ############# } #### Warns if No Files were parsed ############ $match=@newfiles; if ($match < 1) { print"No Files Matched to parse! \n"; }

I have my hot fixes all installing except the 2 that will not load in svcpack.inf and now for some reason Q828026 is not installing, has anyoe else had this problem. so now when I run Windows update after installation I have 4 to install instead of 2 not a major problem because it is already so much better than before installing the hot fixes. I will post my svc.inf file later tonight see if you can see any typos or anything that might prevent that one from loading. I have them all in order

nevermond I did some research and found out it indeed uses the winnt.sif file as well.

Hello I have been making unnatend cd's with WIN XP Pro using the guides at MSFN, I was waondering do you use the same winnt.sif file for Win 2000. I have been studying for MCP Win 2K it never mentions a winnt.sif file it only mentions the unnatend.txt which is created from the setup manager like XP. A Quick clarification would be greatly appreciated.

I was having the same problem until I used greenmachine method worked fine on my moterboard, but when I tried on another computer that had hpt374 raid controller problem came back I will try to incorporate those drives into my XPCD using Greenmachine method also.

I am going to remove the quotes and retest post my results later
