If the listed serials below do not work for a specific release, please see the Serials thread. The final RTM build of Windows is 5.
Dynamic disks were introduced as well which allowed Windows to join disks together in a software RAID array. Plug-and-play support was improved compared to Windows NT 4. Windows File Protection also arrived with which protected critical system files by not allowing anything other than Microsoft's Windows Installer or Windows Update package installer modify system files. The System File Checker utility allowed users to preform a manual scan of protected system files and optionally repair them.
For system management Windows introduced the Microsoft Management Console and a vast majority of system administration tools from Windows NT 4. NET Framework. Two versions of the registry editor exist in Windows This is a straight port and is incapable of editing a remote registry or changing permissions. This was later updated in Windows XP. Most of what is built into cmd. After the security updates have been applied, you will need to download the offline DirectX 9.
After the DirectX 9. Lastly, download the Windows Media Player 9 Series media player. The size of the download is After downloading Windows Media Player 9, you will need to get it configured prior to using it. When that's done, there will be the last eight remaining high-priority updates as follows:. After the installation of all of the base updates have been completed, you will need to remove the uninstallation updates which were made.
By getting rid of the uninstallation files, folders will be removed and up to MB will be freed. The initial size of the Windows directory after the updates have been applied will top out at 1. On hard disk drive that has 10 GB or less, that is quite a lot. You will also need to consider installing other components, including runtime libraries for Visual Basic 1 through 6, Visual Studio 6, 7, 7.
After running into numerous problems, all of the updates that were available for Windows were performed in Microsoft Virtual PC with MB of physical memory allocated. Believe me, installing and updating Windows either on a real PC or in a virtual machine can take hours and it is a lot of hard work to get everything working right.
I hope that the instructions are useful enough for anyone who wants to re-install and update Windows Please consider downloading and saving the updates and burn them on to a CD or ISO image incase Microsoft ever decides to de-commission the Windows Update website in the near future. I'm so terribly sorry that this is such a long forum thread, I would like to thank tomasz86 and submix8c for helping me on how to get Windows to access Windows Update again.
I don't know how much longer that the Windows Update website will remain up, but without your help, updating Windows would have been an impossible thing to do. If you have any questions regarding this guide on how to install and update Windows , please let me know and I will get back to you! See your other topic - tomasz86' USP5. Also please note tomasz86 provides a list that maybe needs matched to yours? Thank you so much for sharing this! While the files that you provided to install IE6 in Win2k are newer, I pointed out the site where you can still get the full version of Internet Explorer, where it doesn't contain the updated files inside the IECIF.
CAB files. The updates were later applied after onwards. As for the purpose of WinZip and 7-Zip, WinZip is a shareware programme designed to open Zip files while 7-zip is a open-sourced programmed designed not only to open files, but extract them to a appropriate directory. For this reason, I should have used only 7-zip and not WinZip in the first place.
But that's why I mentioned them in this thread. I'm collecting links to maybe put up something similar to -X- for XP updates. Bear in mind that HFBR aren't included as you can see. With the archive almost complete, you're doing a lot of hard work on preserving the updates if Microsoft decides to remove the obsolete downloads for Win2k in the future.
Most of the updates that are from Microsoft already have the original datestamp. However, users who want to know when the file of the update was published on the Microsoft Downloads Center can look at the Digital Signature by right clicking the mouse towards Properties and selecting Digital Signatures tab to determine the name of the signer and the original datestamp date and time of the publishing of the update file.
It would also be a good idea to start collecting links to updates for Windows XP and Windows Server as well. This is a really detailed guide, ppgrainbow!
The difference is that his is about preparing an updated Win2k source while yours focuses on updating an already installed system. Thank you so much for compliment. I appreciate it. It is technically possible to install Windows on the Toshiba Tecra CDT, assuming that the size of the hard disk is large enough. However, the consequences are that the Windows will require at least MB of free disk space, 32 MB of system memory and laptop will end up getting slow, pretty fast after installing updates and software on the laptop.
You will also need to get the largest hard drive possible that will work properly with the Tecra CDT. 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. Archived Forums. Windows Server General Forum.

To do so, type the following command at a command prompt:. The schema and infrastructure operations masters are used to introduce forest and domain-wide schema changes to the forest and its domains that are made by the Windows Server adprep utility.
Verify that the domain controller that hosts the schema role and infrastructure role for each domain in the forest reside on live domain controllers and that each role owner has performed inbound replication over all partitions since they were last restarted. Roles that reside on unhealthy domain controllers should be transferred if possible. Otherwise, they should be seized.
Verify that the have performed inbound replication of Active Directory since last booted. For more information about operations masters and their placement, click the following article numbers to view the articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:.
Examine the event logs on all the domain controllers for problematic events. The event logs must not contain serious event messages that indicate a problem with any of the following processes and components:. The volume that hosts the Active Directory database file, Ntds. For more information about how to free up additional disk space, see the "Domain Controllers Without Sufficient Disk Space" section of this article.
For best results, perform this operation 61 or more days before you upgrade the operating system. This provides the DNS scavenging daemon sufficient time to garbage-collect the aged DNS objects when an offline defragmentation is performed on the Ntds.
If distributed link tracking isn't used, you can disable the DLT Server service on your Windows domain controllers and begin deleting DLT objects from each domain in the forest. For more information, see the "Microsoft Recommendations for distributed link tracking" section of the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: Distributed Link Tracking on Windows-based domain controllers.
Make a system state backup of at least two domain controllers in every domain in the forest. You can use the backup to recover all the domains in the forest if the upgrade doesn't work.
An attribute becomes "mangled" if "Dup" or other unique characters are added to the beginning of the conflicted attribute name so that objects and attributes in the directory have unique names. Log on to the console of the schema operations master by using an account that is a member of the Schema Admins security group.
Click Start , click Run , type notepad. Copy the following text including the trailing hyphen after "schemaUpdateNow: 1" to Notepad. On the File menu, click Save. In the Save As dialog box, follow these steps:. COM would be:. To identify mangled names, use Ldp. Install Ldp. Record the distinguished name path for the SchemaNamingContext attribute. For example, for a domain controller in the CORP. Extract the InetOrgPersonFix. From the console of the schema operations master, load the InetOrgPersonFix.
Verify that the houseIdentifier, secretary, and labeledURI attributes in the schema naming context are not "mangled" before you install Exchange New Schema objects and attributes like inetOrgPersonThe adprep utility supports two command-line arguments:.
You can upgrade the Windows member servers and computers to Windows Server member computers whenever you want. Promote new Windows Server domain controllers into the domain by using Dcpromo. Even if you run forestprep and domainprep several times, completed operations are performed only one time. Also, you can add new Windows Server domain controllers to the domain by using Dcpromo.
To prepare a Windows forest and domains to accept Windows Server domain controllers, follow these steps first in a lab environment, then in a production environment:. Make sure that you've completed all the operations in the "Forest Inventory" phase with special attention to the following items:.
