There have been instances where I have waited hours for that restart prompt to appear. Not very common, but there may be something running on the computers that could be causing it to get to that point. I would try shutting down as many unneeded services as possible and attempt the sp install.

These stations do not have CD-ROMS. I copied the pack to the server and when I run the service pack it never finishes, just stays at the 100% bar area. I have tried coping it locally, but does the same thing. Once you reboot, it states "service pack 6.0a. I run the I.E. install disk from and it will not load it tells me to delete the cookies and history and cache and try again. I cannot delete the files mm256.dat and mm2096.dat (I think)as these files are in use. I have opened these files up and deleted everything contained within them and tried install again with the same results. Any responses would be helpful! OS: Windows NT 4.0 service pack 3 CPU: PII 266 RAM: 32MB Server: Windows NT server 4.0 service pack 6 Thank you, Robert Saylors Technical Services Manager FoxBerry Incorporated -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Ed Esgro Sent: Tuesday, March 12, 2002 3:03 PM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: RE: Malformed Directory Names No that seems okay. Have you tried running chkdsk? -----Original Message----- From: Salvatore Palmisano [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, March 12, 2002 1:27 PM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: RE: Malformed Directory Names I fired up the Recovery Console and after trying to get to the offending directory, Im getting 'Access is denied.' I assumed this is because of an NTFS permissions issue and restarted back into the OS. I made sure both SYSTEM and the Administrators group had full access to the directory and re-ran the recovery console...still told 'Access is denied.' when trying to do "D:\cd directoryname" (no quotes). Ive never had to use the RC before...did I miss a step? Thanks again. .Salvatore -----Original Message----- From: Salvatore Palmisano [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, March 12, 2002 12:46 PM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: Malformed Directory Names Like an idiot i left an ftp server with anonymous and write access enabled overnight and some damned fool filled it with crap. I have managed to delete all of the directories and files except for one named 'commerz ' (with a space showing at the end), and nothing Ive been able to do has allowed me to remove it. The box is Windows 2000 Server SP2 and the SRP1, IIS 5. Ive tried deleting from the command prompt, both across the network and at the console (via terminal services). Ive tried DLing hex editors to view the 'real' directory name; even re-created a file in the directory and tried viewing that in hopes of it showing me a full path name. Ive searched the swynk archives, the microsoft.public.inetserver.iis.* newsgroups, and followed the MSKB Article Q120716, all without success. Q120716 mentions a rm.exe utility, but I wasnt able to locate a copy with whatever version of the WinRK I have. Ive run a full virus check on the machine and didnt find anything thankfully. Any ideas? (besides making sure the box is locked down ahead of time...which is what I should have done in the first place) .Salvatore ------ You are subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to %%email.unsub%% ------ You are subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to %%email.unsub%% ------ You are subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to %%email.unsub%% ------ You are subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to %%email.unsub%% ------ You are subscribed as [email protected] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
