Yes I believe you do. IUSER_SERVERNAME is the user that is created by IIS at the time of the installation. The password is randomly generated and stored by Windows. If you reinstalled or repaired Windows the password probably changed or perhaps the user account may have even been deleted. I would recommend uninstalling and reinstalling IIS to attempt to resolve this problem.

Plus, most WIFI manufacturer's will ask you to use their software that comes with the WIFI card to configure the settings. You can also disable the Wireless Zero Configuration service in Control Panel to eliminate contention between the OS and the mfr. software.

You should also setup Performance Monitor to watch the CPU, Memory, Disk I/O etc. to see what is going on. You may also want to check out Process Explorer from Systernals.com to monitor processes running on your PC. After you ID the process causing high utilization you can take steps to correct the problem.

What are you trying to sort? The type of information you are attempting to filter will kind of dictate how you go about sorting it? Please tell us what it is...

Check into modifying your sysoc.inf file. You can use this file to show or hide components from installation in Control Panel. You can also use the [Components] section of your unattend file, ie: WINNT.SIF, to specifically turn off Windows Media Player. Hope this helps.

Depending on the manufacturer, HP or Dell for instance, you should have received recovery CD's when you purchased the PC. You could use those to reinstall all the software that came with your system. If you have a white box, home built PC, follow the guide prathapml pointed you to.

Sven, How do you know your losing packets? Have you tried analyzing your connections with a sniffer like Ethereal and WinPCap? Check to make sure that your NIC cards are seated firmly into their slots. Check to make sure that your NIC cards are installed properly. Update the firmware and software drivers on the NIC's to the latest version. Hard code the port speed of the NIC on your OS and if you are using a managed switch or hub, hard code the port speed your PC or server is plugged into on the switch or hub. Make sure the RJ-45 connectors on your ethernet cables are crimped firmly. Try replacing the cables to see if that helps. One or all of the above could be the cause of your problem(s)...

I'm pretty sure you could use XPlode to run a vbScript that would delete your user(s). Check the Scripting section of the MS Technet site for the scripts. You may need to substitute Wscript.CreateObject with Wscript.DeleteObject.

You should be OK without the software firewall as long as your PC stays behind the router when connecting to the Internet. IE: It is not a laptop that you would connect to the Internet with from say a hotel room. Also make sure you don't have any kind of port forwarding turned on from the router.

No, you can still browse local disk and mapped network drives.

Have you tried this? It's simple and works!! http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/office2003_simple.htm

Remember the $OEM$ folder will need to be moved from the root of the directory structure into the i386 folder. Also the WINNT.SIF will need to be renamed to unattend.txt.

You might be able to get minimal support by installing IE 6 or later and enabling auto language detection. Unfortunately on the OS side, it was not until Windows 2000 not ME that Microsoft included support for Asian languages with Unicode double-byte character sets. You will need to upgrade to Win2K to get this functionality. Here's the catch, the multi-language packs are an add-on that was/is only available supposedly for corporate customers. You could try to go to some of the large software resellers, CDW etc. to get a copy but I don't know how successful you will be. I only know this because I went through the same thing in 1999.

Depending on the platform your web server runs on, there are tons of hardware and software monitoring solutions for watching your website. Even Windows has WMI and VB scripts that will help you.

Why not just uninstall the software if you don't want to use the firewall????

Have you tried Windows XP's built-in Alternate IP Configuration settings? Open the Properties of Network Neighborhood or My Network Places. Click on the TCP/IP protocol, then click Properties. You'll see the Alternate Configuration tab.

Here are some ideas of how to do what you are trying to accomplish. 1) Create a share on the PC where you want to hold the installation files for Windows and other programs you may want to install. 2) Copy the files to the share as outlined at http://unattended.msfn.org. The biggest difference will be you will need to move the $OEM$ folder into the i386 directory instead of having at the root of the share. Create your unattend file, batch files, and scripts as outlined. 3) Install and configure network cards in the PC where your source files are and in the PC where you want to install Windows and the other apps. to. Connect them with a crossover ethernet cable. 4) Using a BartPE boot CD or Bart's boot disk (http://www.nu2.nu) create a CD or disk to boot from that will allow you to connect to the PC where your source files are located. 5) After the boot CD or disk is created, place it in the PC to be built and boot it. Connect to the source PC. 6) Partition and format the drive on the PC. 7) Start the installation with: winnt /b /u:<path to unattend.txt> /s:<path to share where source files are> Good luck

jpatto is right, you will need an SQL CAL (client access license) for each machine connecting to the SQL server. You can then create ODBC connections to the server to connect your application like Microsoft Access or something to the SQL database. If your users will need to actually create and run queries against the database, create views, create DTS packages, etc. they will need the SQL client install tools. These can be installed by inserting the SQL Server CD-ROM in their CD-ROM drives and selecting 'Client Tools' as the installation option. Hope this helps.

You may need to config. the firewall on XP SP2 to allow file sharing as well. Ports may be blocked.

This is what I did: 1) Use Internet Explorer Administration Kit to create custom install. 2) Copy source files to $OEM$\$1\WINAPPS\IE6 3) Create cmdlines.txt to read: [commands] "RunOnceEx.cmd" "C:\WINAPPS\IE6\IE6SETUP.EXE /Q /R:N" "REGEDIT /S C:\WINAPPS\IE6\IE6.REG" 4) Ran unattended install. Works great.

Try changing MsDosInitiated to = Yes instead of 0

These should be available with reg hacks. Try http://www.winguides.com for the how-to's.
