Hi,
I am testing the "Hfnetchk" tool on NT 4.0 and have the following problem:
When I run the tool it want to download the xml File (at
http://download.microsoft.com/download/xml/security/1.0/nt5/en-us/mssecure.c
ab).
The Customer where I am working use a proxyserver, but the tool can not
get over it (authentication). How can I (automaticly) check for or get the
current xml file?
