Hello Andrew,
It could also be registry settings, which is why I asked about setting or
modifying any security settings.
Was Group Policy applied?
Were security templates applied?
I would like to see the setuplog.txt file(windows folder), the
setupapi.log(windows folder) file, the
dberr.log(\windows\security\logs\dberr.log)
I think the problem is with the registry, we cannot write to a key, running
sysprep might solve this issue. We should regenerate those keys during
sysprep.
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]

|Darrell;
|
|exactly my thought. But why? All permissions on all
|relevant wpa related files/folders are OK (set to Full,
|just in case).
|
|Still, that error persists in pissing me off ...
|
|Any other ideas
|
|Thanks & regards - Andrew

|>|After having played with the trial versions of W2K3, I

|update

|date

|>|
|>|Now here's my problem:

|>|On each and every start-up of my activated W2K3, the

|>|Event Type: Error
|>|Event Source: Windows Product Activation
|>|Event Category: None
|>|Event ID: 1000
|>|Date: 12/03/2004
|>|Time: 11:14:04 PM

|>|When I go to Run and type in "oobe/msoobe /a" the

|Run
