Re: [H] Ask?

Chris,
OK. Got it.
Can you suggest proper choices on the deli-list when w2kSrvr begins its' 
load?


I notice that my CD defaults both Indexing Service and IIS service.  I do 
not recall

that I ever used them in the past :)
Thank you.
Best,
Duncan

Should I rebuild my server without an ACTIVE network connection
attached (to begin with)?
Wondering,

Should not matter.

If not mobo caps then PSU, rootkit, failing driver or service in that order.

Check the PSU with a DMM. Scan for viruses IN SAFEMODE. Check the

Scanning in safe mode won't help with rootkits, of course.

I have thought about this for the last 2 hours.
I have rebuild my server (I believe). And it seems to be
at SP4 (per my CD).
It says so at My Computer.
Have disabled both DHCP Client and DHCP Server.
(I do not need this. I let my router do ths.)
Now, I think I need to let my new server? talk to the Internet to complete
the server's SWupdate of this machine. Am I correct
(I do have drivers for the nic card!)
Thankyou.
Best,
Duncan

Are you giving this thing a static IP?

2008-07-18 Thread maccrawj
Wont help? May not be 100% but certainly is more effective than scanning in normal 
mode. I assume you refer to an issue like this where an infected service starts even 
in safe mode?

Only option there would be boot CD or slapping another HDD with clean windows on it 
in  booting from that then?
