Q: Will there be a Slip streamed SP4 Install package for SQL 2000 to ease the installation of SQL 2000 on Windows 2003?A: There will NOT be a slipstreamed version of SQL 2000 SP4 - except for MSDE per usual. SP4 is still Installshield-based as was our original SQL Server 2000 product. SQL Server 2005 (aka Yukon) will be MSI based and we are working to provide slipstream SPs on that platform thanks to the benefits of MSI. MSDE users will have a full version (SQL 2000 + SP4) for their MSDE installation in both MSM and MSI format.

Try extracting the cab files with something like WinRAR to see if they conatin the inf files.

Some (but not all) of those exe files can be extracted using a tool like WinRAR.
And you can try extracting the MSI files using Less MSIérables.

Why use shutdown.exe when AutoIt supports its own shutdown function?

Couldn't you just do a taskkill /IM extras.exe, which will kill all running processes with the name of extras.exe?

Both IE and OE should work when run as a normal user.
For tips and pointer about running as a non-admin read Aaron Margosis' WebLog. He 'specializes' in running things as a non-admin.

If you just want the default boot disks, you can download them from this site. If you want to create a boot folder for use on a multi-boot CD, try BootFolder.exe.

It is mentioned on that page, but there is an error in that information:
This states that you can use the OSLoadOptionsVar entry to set DEP settings during unattended installation.For unattended installations of Windows XP SP2 or later versions, you can use the Unattend.txt file to pre-populate a specific DEP configuration. You can use the OSLoadOptionsVar entry in the [Data]section of the Unattend.txt file to specify a system-wide DEP configuration.The only problem is that they state that it should be in [Data] while it should be in [setupData].
This article on Microsoft Technet specifies the different settings you can provide.

You can write some custom code which is able to do so, but you could also take a look at something like TQF Event Log Explorer.Also could you go into more detail concerning parsing the Event Log.I don't have any personal experience with it, but its description fits what you're looking for.

Try running BootFolder.exe after you've integrated SP5 and it will create a boot folder for you based on the dosnet.inf file.Can anyone tell were to get the files for boot folder for SP5...0 -
and is there any other way of copy the 3 files instead of writing out 3 lines in the batch file with almoast the same command?
Take a look at the FOR /F command. You can get some additional information about it by executing HELP FOR from a command prompt.

You could try parsing the System Eventlog for events with the 7035 or 7036 Id, issued by the Service Control Manager to determine when services where started/stopped.
You can also use the sc query command from a command prompt to get a list of currently running services.

There is a post over at RyanVM's forum which has a list of x64 hotfixes.

Two things that come to mind:
- Did you change the SetupSourcePath in txtsetup.sif (this file is also present in your bootfolder!)
- Try using a SP2 bootfolder. There are a lot of tools out there that will help you create one (like this one)

Could you verify that the security option "Network security: LAN Manager authentication level" is set to "Send NTLMv2 response only\refuse LM".
You can also verify this by looking at the following registry key:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\LmCompatibilityLevel=?
Where the number at ? should be 4 (or lower) If it's 5, this could be your problem.

A small quote from Microsoft Windows Internals 4th edition:
There aren't a lot of programs out there that are compiled with the correct flags to support a 3 GB address space, so this setting doesn't really have that much effect. It can even reduce performance, because system space is reduced to 1 GB, while most applications can only use the 2 GB of user process address space, thus in theory wasting 1 GB of virtual memory.Using the /3GB switch increases the size of the user process address space from 2 GB to 3GB (and therefore reduces the size of system space from 2 GB to 1 GB) Giving virtual-memory-intensive applications such as database servers a larger address space can improve their performance. For an application to take advantage of this feature, however, two additional conditions must be met: the system must be running Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000 Advanced Server, or Datacenter Server; and the application .exe must be flagged as a 3-GB-aware application (applies to 32-bit systems only).(The only application i know for sure that are compiled with the correct switches are IIS and MSSQL)

You mean something like Windows XP PowerPacker?

The message tells you that there's something wrong with txtsetup.sif, so the first question you have to ask yourself is: Did I change that file?
If so, what changes did you make and could you have made an error in them?
Try comparing that txtsetup.sif with the original one and see what differences there are. And if there are differences, are they're all expected diferences. (You can use fc.exe to compare files or get a hold of a GUI based file comparison tool like WinDiff.exe)

I don't know if there is a method of doing that, but even then I wouldn't use it.
There are a lot of valid reasons why you don't want Windows to use the entire RAM before starting to swap.
I'll give an example:
You have a number of programs running which use the entire RAM (and probably some swap space). When I start a new program Windows will first have to swap data from memory to swapspace and then load the new program into RAM before starting the new program.
If we don't allocate all RAM we get:
The new program gets loaded into RAM at once and starts. Windows then schedules a task to move some non-frequently used data from RAM to swapspace (at a slightly lower priority) to get the RAM usage under a certain threshold.
Although the same amount of date gets moved to swap the second scenario appears to run faster for users because their applications start running earlier in the process.

Yes you can. I have a similar setup running on my development box.
Keep in mind though that the more services you run on a single machine the more performance suffers, because they all share the same resources.

I'll give it a go
What's the difference between the Alerter service and the Messenger service in Windows 2003, because the descriptions are pretty similair?

By the way, instead of comparing the CD's manually, is there a utility to compare the files on two different CD's?
You can use Microsoft WinDiff which allows you to compare directories. Click here for a direct download.

No, that's not possible. You're replacing the text I386, which consists of 4 characters, so you can only replace it with something that's 4 characters as well.
