You will then issue the command expand —r ncadmin. Once the files have been unpacked, you can return to the GUI and launch Ncadmin. As shown in Figure A , the first dialog box asks you to select the type of activity you want to perform.
Figure A Use Ncadmin. Figure B Ncadmin. Figure C The Target Workstation Configuration dialog box lets you choose the type of floppy, network client, and network adapter card to use. Editor's Picks. I forget to mention in this thread that the official KB numbers are KB for. There is no KB number for. I agree. As for installing unofficial updates after applying all of the available updates for Windows , you should be careful how the updates are applied.
The one thing is that after a couple of months after I applied UURollup v10c, I was very lucky to only apply. There are chances that some of the critical files that were applied from UURollup will end up being overwritten with official files from the updates that came from the Windows Update website and the risk are that serious problems with Windows may occur thus prompting a re-installation of the OS from scratch.
All of the updates that I downloaded have preserved the original timestamp. An extension that preserved the modification timestamp that is sent by the server for downloaded files.
I suppose you mean "this topic", don't you? How about adding "Professional" at the end of the title you can edit it when using the full editor? I used the same extension when downloading updates which are available in the Archive. That's why timestamps of most of them are preserved. That's correct. I updated the forum thread as well as the link mentioning the correct KB article for. That is so absolutely right! I'm gonna try to provide more information on how the directories will look like. I also believe that there needs to be a script to manually apply the updates via a batch file.
I cannot test it on the host machine as it will screw up the two year old Win2k installation, but I can try to run it on a test Win2k install. The size of the temporary directory is MB and it has updated files in 52 folders.
First of all, thanks for this guide. I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place here. I just can't get Windows Update to work after following this guide. All of the steps seem to work correctly, but when I open Windows Update, it gets to the point where it asks if I want to do an Express or Custom update, and when I click either one, it gives me an an error saying "Files required to use Windows Update are no longer registered or installed on your computer", and a link to reinstall said files which also doesn't work.
I've gone through this guide four times, reinstalling Windows each time, to no avail. I have also followed the "If Windows Update fails to operate correctly" instructions each time, and no dice. I've also tried are clicking the link to upgrade to Microsoft Update; it just gives me the same error. Install Update Rollup 1 v2. Download and install WinZip. Download and install 7-Zip. Download WUAv Download 7za Ditto for wGet 1.
Run WUAv Rename WindowsUpdateAgentx EXE and run it. Download and extract rootsupd Install rootsupd. Run Windows Update. Anything wrong there? I assume nothing has to be put in a specific directory because the OP didn't specifically say so. When it says to extract something to "the WUA directory", does that mean an arbitrary directory you make yourself just to help organize the files, or is there an actual WUA directory somewhere that these files are supposed to go in?
EXE to install And why do you have to rename it, anyway? Is Windows Update simply completely dead for Windows , now? It seems this thread has been dormant since November, but I would hope someone before me would touch on that if they discovered that to be the case.
Anyway, I hope someone is able to either figure out something I'm doing wrong or determine that it just doesn't work any more. I've never participated in these forums before - I've made my account simply so I can post here and try to get to the bottom of this. Not sure about the "why rename" but irrelevant. Please report back. I followed it all the way through with a new Windows SP4 install and it worked perfectly.
The only thing I did differently was installing Update Rollup 1 version 2 for Windows Service Pack 4 before anything else, although I don't think that will make any difference. In the end it shouldn't matter though That was the ticket! Thank you very much! I don't know why my situation wouldn't work with simply running WUA.

User information stored in Active Directory also provided a convenient phone book-like function to end users.
Active Directory domains can vary from small installations with a few hundred objects, to large installations with millions. Active Directory can organise and link groups of domains into a contiguous domain name space to form trees. Groups of trees outside of the same namespace can be linked together to form forests. Active Directory services could always be installed on a Windows Server, Advanced Server, or Datacenter Server computer, and cannot be installed on a Windows Professional computer.
However, Windows Professional is the first client operating system able to exploit Active Directory's new features. As part of an organization's migration, Windows NT clients continued to function until all clients were upgraded to Windows Professional, at which point the Active Directory domain could be switched to native mode and maximum functionality achieved.
There should be one or more domain controllers to hold the Active Directory database and provide Active Directory directory services. Along with support for simple, spanned and striped volumes, the server family of Windows also supports fault-tolerant volume types. The types supported are mirrored volumes and RAID-5 volumes :. Windows can be deployed to a site via various methods. It can be installed onto servers via traditional media such as CD or via distribution folders that reside on a shared folder.
Installations can be attended or unattended. During a manual installation, the administrator must specify configuration options. Unattended installations are scripted via an answer file, or a predefined script in the form of an INI file that has all the options filled in. An answer file can be created manually or using the graphical Setup manager. The Winnt. The ability to slipstream a service pack into the original operating system setup files is also introduced in Windows The Sysprep method is started on a standardized reference computer — though the hardware need not be similar — and it copies the required installation files from the reference computer to the target computers.
The hard drive does not need to be in the target computer and may be swapped out to it at any time, with the hardware configured later. Sysprep allows the duplication of a disk image on an existing Windows Server installation to multiple servers. This means that all applications and system configuration settings will be copied across to the new installations, and thus, the reference and target computers must have the same HALs, ACPI support, and mass storage devices — though Windows automatically detects 'plug and play' devices.
The primary reason for using Sysprep is to quickly deploy Windows to a site that has multiple computers with standard hardware. Systems Management Server can be used to upgrade multiple computers to Windows These must be running Windows NT 3. Using SMS allows installations over a wide area and provides centralised control over upgrades to systems. Remote Installation Services RIS are a means to automatically install Windows Professional and not Windows Server to a local computer over a network from a central server.
Images do not have to support specific hardware configurations and the security settings can be configured after the computer reboots as the service generates a new unique security ID SID for the machine. This is required so that local accounts are given the right identifier and do not clash with other Windows Professional computers on a network. The remote computer must also meet the Net PC specification.
Microsoft released various editions of Windows for different markets and business needs: Professional, Server, Advanced Server and Datacenter Server.
Each was packaged separately. Windows Professional was designed as the desktop operating system for businesses and power users. It is the client version of Windows It offers greater security and stability than many of the previous Windows desktop operating systems. Windows Server shares the same user interface with Windows Professional, but contains additional components for the computer to perform server roles and run infrastructure and application software.
This also provided a purely transitive-trust relationship between Windows domains in a forest a collection of one or more Windows domains that share a common schema, configuration, and global catalog, being linked with two-way transitive trusts. Windows Advanced Server is a variant of Windows Server operating system designed for medium-to-large businesses. Windows Datacenter Server is a variant of Windows Server designed for large businesses that move large quantities of confidential or sensitive data frequently via a central server.
Its minimum system requirements are normal, but it was designed to be capable of handing advanced, fault-tolerant and scalable hardware—for instance computers with up to 32 CPUs and 32GBs RAM, with rigorous system testing and qualification, hardware partitioning, coordinated maintenance and change control.
System requirements are similar to those of Windows Advanced Server, [] however they may need to be higher to scale to larger infrastructure. Windows Datacenter Server was released to manufacturing on August 11, [] and launched on September 26, Paging Zefram Cochrane: Humans have figured out how to make a warp bubble. Show Comments.
