Ok. Promise. Last adprep question: Does adprep need to be run from an i386 directory or can it be run on its own? Does it have dependant files within i386 or is it self-contained?

 

Thanks.

LOL. It isn't a decimal number though... It is a series of variable length decimal numbers separated by the period character... Sort of like an OID

 

1.2.840.113556.1.4.7000.102.7038

 

Versioning is a lost art I think though. I am big on xx.yy.zz.nnnn  xx.=major, yy=minor, zz=really minor, nnnn=build.

 

To me... major rev changes for big changes, massive updates or rewrites or drammatic functional changes. minor is added features, bug fixes. really minor is output string changes or remarks in the code being changed, things that don't change the code flow and don't require any serious testing (I rarely update this one). And build of course is how many times the bin has been compiled.  

 

 

G:\>filever f:\dev\cpp\adfind\adfind.exe
--a-- W32i   APP ENU      1.29.0.785 shp    950,784 12-22-2005 adfind.exe

 

The current release version of adfind for instance has been compiled 785 times. Well actually that is incorrect, it has compiled 785 times since V01.08.00. There was a little bug in the routine I had been using to increment the counter and it was resetting on every new minor version rev. If I follow the average I am probably off by 250-300 compile build numbers but I expect it is less than that because as the complexity grew in versions >15 the number of compiles between releases went up due to testing and bug hunting.

It's a common source of confusion.

 

Ask a user if version 1.4.4 is newer or older than 1.4.3.4 :)

 

Some say "34>4 therefore the latter is newer" some say "4>3 therefore the former is newer"

 

neil

PS The purist in me would say that without a leading 0, the 196 below looks like 1 thousand 9 hundred and 60 and 1960>1830. it's all about justification, when dealing with the decimal notation :)

Ah don't worry about it, I figured you were just disconnected there when I saw the first question at all. That is why I counted it out. :)

Oh (blush)

 

Don’t mind me. I’m just over here re-learning that whole tens, hundreds, thousands, etc thing.

 

Ugh! (eyes roll skyward, head shakes)

 

;-)

 

Sorry for the wasted bandwidth.

Are you asking if 1830 < 196 ?

Hi-

 

I am preparing to upgrade a W2k domain to W2k3. I want to use the latest version of ADPrep. I have found the following info and am confused:

 

For ADPrep on the following -

From Windows Server 2003 CD:                                               5.2.3790.0         July 22, 2004, 9:07:08 AM

from WindowsServer2003-KB889101-SP1-x86-ENU.exe:            5.2.3790.1830    November 07, 2005, 5:48:59 PM

listed in MSKB / Hotfix 324392                                                   5.2.3790.196     July 23, 2004, 9:04

 

Am I reading that correctly: the one from SP1 is a lower version and later date than the one in the hotfix? Which one is the “latest”?

 

Thanks.
