RJARRRPCGP Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 (edited) When I say hfcleanup and XP is buggy, I mean that sometimes you could get a BSOD during installation.HFCLEANUP is buggy with Windows XP, but I didn't get a BSOD under VMWare Player. Instead, I gotten at least some annoying problems:1. Windows XP Setup thinks that even the drivers that came with Windows XP didn't pass the Windows Logo tests! I literally get a prompt of if I want to install the driver or not for drivers that come with Windows XP! 2. Then a pre-Windows XP style file prompt box for probably mplayer2.exe or mplayer.exe. 3. Then later on, I get a post-Windows installation style error message pop up, like when you type in the wrong file name in the "Run" box.The following error message pops up:Windows cannot find "mshta.exe" Make sure you typed the name correctly (or similar)The file collection I used was at least roughly the equivalent of the Windows 2000 FDV fileset. (Remove Internet Explorer, COM+, DTC, Remote Registry, Web Folders and etc.)Update:I was hoping that HFCLEANUP could make the commit change as low as Windows 2000 with Windows XP. Why isn't the commit charge going lower. With the Nvidia video driver installed, it probably won't be lower than 60 MB.

saugatak Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 In my latest build, the option to add new users was removed from control panel.Which HFCLEANUP file relates to this? I know it's not OSOptions_User Pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyp Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 IIRC, the user creation was out from the beginning, not the latest build. Try the wbem/wmi. I use the NET USER command to add users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tain Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I've been monkeying around with HFCLEANUP a lot trying to find the sweet spot of reduction vs. Windows Domain (Active Directory) compatibility with Win2K Pro.So far I can report that these reducers should NOT be used in order to join a domain:Network_ActiveDirectory.remNetwork_NetworkMonitorDriverAndTools.remNetwork_NetworkMonitorDriverAndTools.rinHowever, I am having a problem with HFCLEANUP that may be skewing my results. On a recent run, I reduced DTC, DLTC, and COM+ but I saw them get installed during GUI setup. I also saw that they were running after I logged in.I am not using many features for my test runs because my main goal was trimming source down with HFCLEANUP while keeping AD functionality. Log attached. Many thanks to Tomcat76 for helping me get this far!I built my HFCLEANUP fileset by downloading the zips on FDV's site as of yesterday.What am I doing wrong for HFCLEANUP to not reduce my source properly?HFSLIP.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyp Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 That hfsliplog says it takes 3 minutes to run? I don't believe it. Dumb statement, but you need to select the merged driver option for the hfcleanup files to be parsed. Unless the hfslip log generation is whacked.. You may want to remove the cluster file to keep AD as well. I don't know for sure, I don't use AD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tain Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Oh yeah! The readme states to use driver compression method A, B or C. A little birdie told me about how much faster HFSLIP runs go with the least compression and I was so impressed at the speed that it didn't occur to me that I was breaking HFCLEANUP. I'll change that option and try again when I get home. Thanks, tommyp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomcat76 Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Sorry, TAiN. Completely forgot about that... That hfsliplog says it takes 3 minutes to run? I don't believe it.For what he's adding, I can do much better than that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super-Magician Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 And what's with your file with the hyphen at the end of the name?dotnet11sp1.exe- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tain Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 That was to disable just that file for a while so that my test runs would go a bit quicker. Good catch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tain Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 OK, it is working now. I had more problems at first even though I ran "mode C" but it turned out to be because I had a special tweak in my HFSLIP config that was interfering with HFCLEANUP. Thanks for the help!Back to work on my Active Directory project... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tain Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Having much better luck now! It seems that Network_ActiveDirectory.rem may be the only requirement for joining an AD domain. My most recent run reduced cluster and network monitor/tools and AD seemed to be working just fine. I will test it some more to ensure GPO and other such things are working properly.The other two things I am working on are WMI and Outlook 2003. Outlook is working fine except for HTML support but I may just leave that as it is. WMI is giving me really mixed results when I try different combinations of Performance monitoring, System monitoring, and WMI service. I'll post my results when I get the best solution.
