dantanna Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Hi,I'm pretty new to XPCREATE and I'm really impressed with the software, it's awesome. I've created various slipstreamed OS install images for deployment successfully.The 2000 server update process unfortunately creates a few files that are not 8.3 format, for example:i386\authroots.ss_i386\q831167_d.in_i386\q832894_d.in_Whereas other long files have 8.3 formats, for example:i386\beeho~2.rm_I tried copying the finished 'i386' directory to my hard disk with 'xcopy /n' to force 8.3 filename creation but this in turn breaks the install later on. The installer fails to copy ipsec.sys, kernel32.dll, ntdll.dll, win32k.sys and winsrv.sysI get the cd images to clients using a DOS (actually win98) boot disk, this process fails because of these files...Any ideas or help appreciated...

GreenMachine Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Yes, Microsoft has released a few patches lately that cannot be both slipstreamed and run in DOS installs. 8.3 names will not work without some 8.3:Long file name conversion table, which is not covered by the Microsoft slipstreaming process. Your only recourse is to NOT slipstream the offending hotfixes.Still ... Wecome to MSFN, friend from down-under! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantanna Posted June 23, 2004 Author Share Posted June 23, 2004 Hmm..thanks for that, I'll try integrating them into unattend somehow.Looks like the offending files belong to the following SVC-HF2 hotfixes:Q831167Q832894rootsupd.exeCheers from OZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMachine Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Upon further review ... those are all Type II Hotfixes, which are not defined as "Slipstreamable" by Microsoft. You should be able to put them in SVC-POS and be OK. Give it a go, then give us a holler with your findings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantanna Posted June 25, 2004 Author Share Posted June 25, 2004 Thanks for the advice.I rebuilt with the three patches in SVC-POS...Q832894 worked okwindows update reports 3 hotfixes as not being installed:Q831167 (from SVC-POS)js56nen (from SVC-HF2)KB839643 ( wasn't downloaded, i'll try in SVC-HF1 )Is there a trick with Q831167 and js56nen ?

GreenMachine Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 831167 requires QCHAIN (as I recall ...).The vbs56nen (something like that ..) update messes with the js56nen update, and is not needed. If you have the vbs update, remove it. If not, check the installed file versions, and see if they are OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
