pls explain me about winnt.sif.
- Thread starter gipzy
- Start date
The file itself deals with an 'unattended installation', meaning, you can save all relevant info (Product Key, Users, etc.) for a new install, toss in a Windows CD, and walk away.
It's actually a bit more in-depth than that, but if you want a lot of info, I can try to find some links for you.

Most welcome.
Not sure if you wanted more info, but I did a bit of searching and found a few in-depth references for you.
MS Documentation: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/216586
Auto-Install, a look at what the file contains, and random slip-streaming stuff: http://www.willowhayes.co.uk/windows2000/
(The second one is for Win2k, but basically the exact same info applies.)

Let's you clone a system's configuration and install it to other systems. Basically, it's just quicker than using an install CD. It's a bit limited in what 'extra' stuff it can contain, but is fairly quick at installing images on multiple systems.
Similar to the above, but not exact. It's a remote-install program, meaning you can install (unattended I think) an OS from over a network.

Actually, I've never had the opportunity to do this, so someone who has first-hand experience will be better off explaining.Another cloning utility. It allows the image of one system to be copied to others.
An attended installation is just that - an OS install that you attend (watch and physically input settings, etc.). Have you ever installed Windows on your Home PC? That was attended. An unattended installation is where you use a tool similar to the Winnt.sif file you mentioned and pre-configure the settings and save it to a disk. Then, simply load up the setup program and walk away, everything will go automatically.
Similar to a virus-scanner, but instead of being able to be run by anyone and look for viruses, it can only be run by an Admin and looks for protected system files that have been accessed 'illegally' or somehow changed/overwritten. If it finds such a file, it will restore it to it's original version by reading from a backup file stored elsewhere.
Tells your system what OS's are installed and allows users who dual-boot to select which OS to load at startup.
Hmmm...sorry, something just came up. I'll try to finish later if no one else can fill in the blanks, but have to bounce for now. Hope it helps!

i'll answer what i feel like answering 
- paging file
certain amount of space on your hard disk that acts as internal memory
- stripe set
a bunch of hard disks in raid 0, improves performance.
- netstat -e
try it for yourself. press start - run - type cmd - type netstat /?
- SCSI
a hard disk type like ide or sata, generally used in servers
- Hibernation
sort of sleep mode for your pc, your ram content get backed up on your hard drive and everything pretty much shuts down.
- why IPconfig/flushdns command is used? for what?
this empties your adress register (not literally) of your dns. dns stores ip's linked to computer name's.
- power user group
a user group that has more rights than standard users but still no administrator rights.
