Incroyable HULK Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 (edited) Hello all,just a quick topic to tell that I was a bit annoyed to find a $winnt$.inf file in my System32 folder revealing some information about my unattended installation... So I'll delete this file at the end of my unattended installation:DEL "%windir%\system32\$winnt$.inf" Edited November 10, 2005 by Incroyable HULK
Sonic Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 Yes it's reveals somes infos, but the key doesn't appear
BoardBabe Posted November 11, 2005 Posted November 11, 2005 So this file can be deleted safely at end of GuiRunOnce/cleanup/WPI or whatever?
cumminbk Posted November 11, 2005 Posted November 11, 2005 Wow thanks alot hulk! I will certainly remove this file from my unattendes installs from now on. I also found this link on the topic http://www3.ca.com/securityadvisor/vulninfo/Vuln.aspx?ID=933This is a pretty important post.
cluberti Posted November 11, 2005 Posted November 11, 2005 Note that the vulnerability doesn't affect Windows 2000, XP, or 2003, just NT 4.0 Workstation.It's not a bad idea to whack the file though .
Takeshi Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 (edited) I noticed this file long ago, except it is in i386 folder left behind in C, presumably by factory installation with sysprep in my DELL laptop. The contents are the same as the one in system32. Edited November 12, 2005 by Takeshi
