Hi

 

The machines were fresh installed - no custom routines.

Are some of the machines upgrades from 2000 or NT and some fresh built?

 

Were some preinstalled with OEM versions of Windows or built with hardware manufacturer custom install routines while others were built by hand?

Hi

 

I know that.

 

The thing is, that it does not always exist - why?

This registry key had to be implemented in Windows 2000 clusters to avoid the problem described in this article http://support.microsoft.com/?id=254651

The default setting has changed for Windows Server 2003 so it is set to 1 by default.

Hi

 

During a  troubleshooting of a customer case we have encountered this problem:

 

In windows 2003, MS claims this value is set to 1 by default, so when you unplug your network cable, you do not lose the tcpip settings (ipconfig wont reply with media disconnected).

 

However, looking at several windows 2003 machines, some had this value (under services\tcpip\parameters) set, some  do not have it.

 

Does anybody know what is the logics behind this value being exist or not?

 

Thanks
