I got around the 8.3 filename issue by using a $$Rename.txt file saved in my distribution share. http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/3d64370b-d9bf -4a31-abcf-6f1da86ef8641033.mspx?mfr=true has details on using a $$Rename.txt file but I'm not sure if it's 100% accurate. It didn't work when I had the $$Rename.txt in the same folder as the long filename. It worked when I saved it in $oem$\$1\$$Rename.txt. The file specified where the long file was, what the name was being truncated to and what it should be renamed as: [\drivers\V1400\03\R165797] IGMED~V3.DLL="igmedcompkrn.dll" ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
