Is there a reg hack, or a command like way to get "Authenicated Users" into the local Administrators group? (XP PRO)

has anyone had any luck with Ghost AI Builder making an AIO install of the Microsoft hotfixes?

just to let other people know (or to make sure I'm doing the correct thing) the file I downloaded was called msjavwu.exe and was 5,319,000 bytes.

Then how do I get it? (I tried just taking the one from my SUS server)

Okay I downloaded Q816093.exe from microsoft, I put it into SVC-HF2 (although it says 'Self-Extracting Cabinet' where all the others in that folder have a different Icon and say 'Win32 Cabinet Self-Extractor') and durring the setup it displays a dialog box for 816093 much like if you put a /? switch after it, but doesn't load -Jenay

Okay, after pulling my hair out I found out this: the DHCP server were handing out addresses x.x.x.101, 103, and 104 to the problem computers, the problem is that someone hardcoded the printers to 101-107. It would timeout when someone would print to those printers. so, as most problems, it's sloppy admin work. thanks 'The Radish' for your help

Okay I have these workstations (Dell GX150's) that I wiped from 98 and put XP on it. I also made sure I have the newest Drivers for the NIC and Bios. The Issue is that I start a contenuous ping to the server and everything looks good... then out of nowhere it drops and I get timeouts (both from an IP Address and the servername) but here's the wierd part While I'm getting the timeouts on the workstation, I CAN get replies back if i ping the workstation from the server. This only happens on three of the eight machines I've upgraded. I've also unchecked "allow computer to turn this device of to save power" on the NIC Driver. I've tried a ghost image as well as a total rebuild on these machines, but get the same result I've also rebooted the server, as my next action is to move the places where these computer are pluged into on the hub. Anyone have any thoughts? (please) EDIT: also another weird thing is that even tho I get TIMEOUTS to the server, my connection to the internet is fine. ???

ahh... I'm retarded... as long as SET XPSOURCE= is blank it works fine, if I the drive letter, it then assumes it's not from a CD and won't extract the XPCTBOOT.bin file, then errors out because it cannot find that file. (Which IMO it shouldn't look for if: DOCD=NO DOISO=NO ) Thanks for the great Product tho.

I cannot find the file: LOGFILES.CAB do I need to turn loggin on? the xpcreate.log is as follows: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- 11:55:14 -- Started at: 11:55:14 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- 11:55:14 -- XPCREATE Version : 10 JUN 2004 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- 11:55:14 -- Running on : -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- 11:55:15 -- Setting Variables -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- @ECHO OFF SET CDERASE=NO SET CDLABEL=XPCREATE SET CDSPEED=24 SET COPYSOURCE=YES SET DELISOS=NO SET DELROOT=NO SET DELTEMP=NO SET DLAUTO=YES SET DLURL=http://xpcreate.wiretapped.us/HFLISTS SET DOCABS=YES SET DOCD=NO SET DOISO=YES SET DOPATH=YES SET DOSATA=YES SET DOSVCPACK=YES SET DRIVERDIR=$OEM$\$1\DRIVERS SET EXITQUIET=NO SET OVERWRITEOEM=YES SET SILENTINSTALL=YES SET SLIPHF1=YES SET SLIPHF2=YES SET SLIPMDC=YES SET SLIPSPK=YES SET XPISO=XPCREATE.ISO SET XPSOURCE=D:\ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- 11:55:15 -- Looking for CD Source. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- 11:55:15 -- Trying to extract the Boot Image. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- 11:55:15 -- Source does not appear to be a CD. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **************************************** Also I've changed the SET XPSOURCE=D:\ to SET XPSOURCE=D: in the .INI file but it did the same thing.

Okay as soon as I thru excuition of XPCREATE, I will recreate the error, and post the Logs...

WORKAROUND Went to a command prompt and to my XPCreate Directory and typed: BBIE d: and them I got a image1.bin I then renamed that and put it in the correct place and now it works...

I'm running XPCreate on a Dell Optiplex 240 on XP Pro, My Source CD is an XPPro OEM, just out of the package, that seems to be already slipstreemed with SP1a, (and yes it will boot to the Windows setup) but when I run XPCreate I get the error -- 9:30:59 --> Looking for CD Source. -- 9:30:59 --> Trying to extract the Boot Image. -- 9:30:59 --> Source does not appear to be a CD. Error: Cannot find BOOTIMG file. Value: BOOT\XPCTBOOT.BIN Press Enter to Exit. is there a way I can bybass the bootimage process? Because I've slipstreamed SP1a in the past, and still have the 'Microsoft Corperation.img' boot file that I can use with NERO to burn a bootable XP CD. any suggestions?
