  1. Sure it says SERVER on the box, we can all read. But can you be more specific...? I'm just sick and tired of hearing those exact words..."Its a SERVER"...coz it says so on the box. Well, just take a look around...how many products/hardware do you see that has the same "core" or components but are just locked down or simply packed in a different box? This is even more relevant now when x64 versions is out of both 2003 and XP....it's the same core my friend...as the x32 versions..but less the crippled memorymanagement in XP. 2003 server will always be a better OS if tweaked right, sure there is some differences that you cannot alter even in the register...ie Memory Management/Cache and so on...but they are actually working better than in crippled XP...period.
  2. I just don't get it, are you talking about P2P (peer-to-peer) filesharing apps or downloading/uploading copyrighted material? It's NOT synonymous folks!
  3. Dunno why so many people are complaining that you shouldn't game on a Server 2003. There is nothing wrong with the games. It's just the installers, which checks what version of Windows it is. That's why Doom 3 will install on XP-64, but not on Server 2003, even though they share the same code. If you don't get what I'm saying, take a look at my screenshot: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?act=At...pe=post&id=6989. I installed Server 2003, but somehow "converted" it to a regular XP Pro install, still using 2003 files. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Look at my post a couple steps up.
  4. Hehehe, thats also a way of doing estimated costs and calculations... ..sorry, couldnt help myself...
  5. I'll stick to my old 2.* version of Trillian. The newer 3 series really bugs me out with that mandatory flash install..(not mandatory really but that nag really p***es me off, I just hate when they are pushing stuff in like that..) Also with a different loader I can run it self contained, just copy up that folder and a shortcut and I have all my settings there and just fire up....from a USB memory or whatever.
  6. Heh, ofcourse it's legal. ..Amazing that this thread exists really.
  7. If they are intended to be used at a unattended install try change the uservalues to ".DEFAULT" instead. [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects] "VisualFXSetting"=dword:00000003
  8. my disable those **** desktop effects tweak : [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop] "FontSmoothing"="0" "FontSmoothingType"=dword:00000000 "SmoothScroll"=dword:00000000 "UserPreferencesMask"=hex(03):b0,32,01,80 [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics] "MinAnimate"="0" preferably added @ T-12
  9. First of all, thanx for a excellent progg...even a old geezer like me could get it together in a coupla days I have a "request": I would like to have a option to copy up a script/batch together with a shortcut at either the desktop or startmenu that has a generated path to that particular CD and those apps that you havent yet installed. So when you have the need you click that WPI icon and are asked to insert named disc and you get that interface up again and this time a batch or similar gets generated instead of using RunOnceEx...ahhh, that would be sweet! I know I'm stretching it here, I have no knowledge of any language actually...thats why I belive this can be done I guess
  10. Clint

    lost my sound

    phuii...for a second there I thought it said "lost my soul" ...
  11. hehe, what a piece of crap! I have been trying to make it run the simplest batch...nada! it wouldnt even run this: @echo off MOVE c:\test.txt c:\new\test.txt EXIT no, that was a way to smucky app for me.. EDIT: got my hands on "ExeScript 2.0" that looks like a rip-off from that "Quick Batch File converter"..this one actually works! Downside is, when open that .exe in notepad the "source" is not encrypted at all...another piece of crap as well...
  12. I don't know if you find this any helpful: I use this tweak @ T-12 to loose those annoying effects. [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop] "FontSmoothing"="0" "FontSmoothingType"=dword:00000000 "SmoothScroll"=dword:00000000 "UserPreferencesMask"=hex(03):b0,32,01,80 [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics] "MinAnimate"="0" works perfect, and sets it to default...so it will be applied to new users as well. EDIT: hehe, well....what can I say...
  13. For some weird reason XP doesn't have the Security log in Event Viewer enabled by default..2003 does. Any one has a reg for applying @ T-12?
  14. Well, I would be surprised if the final release didn't had that implemented. My belief is that even if they have that fully developed or not they wouldnt provide it on prereleases.
  15. If you have RSOP log popups in Event Viewer and wanna disable: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System] "RSoPLogging"=dword:00000000 and what I use for those desktop effects @ T-12: [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop] "FontSmoothing"="0" "FontSmoothingType"=dword:00000000 "SmoothScroll"=dword:00000000 "UserPreferencesMask"=hex(03):b0,32,01,80 [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics] "MinAnimate"="0" Will only work from T-12, but will set it to a default setting for additional users as a result )
  16. I made a useful key instead : for disable that RSOP log entry in Event Viewer : Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System] "RSoPLogging"=dword:00000000 for enable it again: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System] Can't find the proper key for that [DATABASE NOT LOADED] popup though
  17. Thanx! As for the second it's coz all ODBC components is gone, sure I wanna disable that too Do you know where?
  18. I have theese two events popping upp in my eventviewer and are trying to find the specific keys for disabling them. Event Type: Error Event Source: Userenv Event Category: None Event ID: 1090 Date: 2005-06-23 Time: 19:37:10 User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM Computer: CBD96F8DF455437 Description: Windows couldn't log the RSoP (Resultant Set of Policies) session status. An attempt to connect to WMI failed. No more RSoP logging will be done for this application of policy. Event Type: Error Event Source: Application Popup Event Category: None Event ID: 877 Date: 2005-06-23 Time: 10:34:48 User: N/A Computer: CBD96F8DF455437 Description: There was error [DATABASE NOT LOADED] processing the driver database. Data: 0000: 00 00 00 00 02 00 64 00 ......d. 0008: 00 00 00 00 6d 03 00 c0 ....m..À 0010: 00 00 00 00 6d 03 00 c0 ....m..À 0018: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........ 0020: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........ I have read somewhere that setting a DWORD value name EventLog with a Value Data: (0 = disable) would stop that from reporting to eventviewer. Problem is that I have searched high and low and found a few related entries but adding those keys had no effect. Anyone that has a clue?
  19. uhumm, can't agree with you more...very picky indeed guess my batches aren't good enuff..heh. also that "nag" gets on my nerve, kinda spoils the whole idea..can't afford to shuffle that 39$. But I see why ppl use it, excellent features with "Ghost" and "Passprotect".. EDIT: StartX works SWEET..! The postinstall now takes 50% longer time, but thats a good thing for once No boxes, nada!
  20. passwordprotect your batches...hehe, nice features this is what it's all about, doing "research" in this fashion by posting questions you get all kinda pearls thrown at you I DO my research as well, but this is the best...thanx bro! I gain knowledge, you gain that warm fuzzy feeling helpin' a fella out..
  21. To whom are you addressing with these remarks!My response was a direct fix for your line, which you stated didn't work! I then went on to explain that you were not actually using the start command with its full correct syntax, it wasn't an example of the code you need in your RunOnceEx, just an example of correct usage.No batch is used or needed just a single line to run the command interpreter with parameters. Now with the information I gave and a little research you could also find out that you could run more than one command from the same line, also reducing the number of cmd windows; you could also turn off the echoing too! cmd /q/c cmdow @hid&start "" /wait first.exe&&start "" /wait second.exe <{POST_SNAPBACK}> UhOh, I see now what you mean, I wasnt paying attention enuff (early in the morning)..now I can see that you have fixed that line and THEN provided the proper start command and quotes.. My mind was all set to that you were refering to a proper batchfile (hence the last line starting with"start")..guess I still had websee's "clever remark" ringin' in my mind well, you live and learn..thanx for the instructions...worked perfectly
  22. That's outdated info . Microsoft decided they wanted the OS out ASAP and stripped features INCLUDING Longhorn being based off of .NET. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sure they want it out ASAP, my belive is that the primary this days is to implement that TC/Fritz-chip in our systems. The debate/actions around copyrights/pirated material has taken proportions big enuff to make the move to throw it out prematurely, I can assure you that part with Trusted Computing (or whatevva they choosen to call it now) related stuff is fully developed....
  23. hehe, my bad..was only using astericks as "whattevaname".exe. should have known better looking in on StartX, having probs getting NirCMD to fly with this: NirCMD ExeCMD "%CDROM%\Install\applications\OpenOffice\setup.exe -r:%CDROM%\Install\applications\OpenOffice\setup.txt" -debug maybe I'm missing a couple of quotas? EDIT: when using startx /wait /b "%CDROM%\Install\Applications\ART\setup.exe" /S I get "no commands specified" by StartX..I thought this was possible to run from RunOnceEx I mean, StartX gets reached by RunOnceEx allright but StartX itself can't give the commands... ...man, this is confusing.
  24. I think you misunderstood me, i wanna use those commands directly in in RunOnceEx, that is NOT using a batch. start wont do crap in RunOnceEx unless you call an batch that contains that command. thats why I used "cmd /c start" to call cmd first. I use WPI and feels it's a waste of nice coding not to use provided commandlines and use a single batchfile instead. The meaning with my somwhat cryptic post whas to get either a better way to use RunOnceEx to call those commands directly OR find that other method where callings those batches in a more hidden fashion that I've read somewhere. @ Achdine, thanx bro..thats exactly what I'm looking for ..@ websee, ..c'mon dude, "well, i would say first learn to read, then post" ..whats the gain? I HAVE spent time at those guides, maybe I've missed some but there is NO need for that..pffff.
  25. I'm using cmd /c start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\Applications\***.exe for my RunOnceEx so it wont mess things up and wait for doing all in proper time...works fine but I cant stand having those boxes hanging there. I have tried to usecmd /c cmdow @ /HID start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\Applications\***.exe ..but then nothing happens. I remember someone mentioned something about other method/command that didnt call up any box at all, anyone has a clue or solution?
