Re: failed admin pak installation - w2k3

On inserting the CD, you will need to slipstream a Win2003 SP1 CD (Since you
are are using W2k3 SP1). If the OS is a W2k3 RTM, only then you can use the
original W2k3 CD.

Please try disabling WFP on a production machine, reboot and reinstall. Make
sure that you backup your production before attempting.

Update us on this issue. :)

Hello

Yes, I have tried to disable the service via registry modification. (SFC
Disable - value 0) However, I cannot plug in a null modem because this
server
is a Virtual Machine.

We have attempted to run sfc /scannow, but have issues when prompted for
the
CD. We put the CD in (or an iso via virtual cd mapping) and receive prompt
for another version of windows server 2003. Oddly enough, it was the
corrcet
version.

I was wondering if this template image for the server was notupdate via an
inplace upgrade? Instead of a clean operting install. *thinking w2k to
w2k3.

Your error indicates:

Thus your files are being protected by Windows, verified by you stating:
"Windows File Protection error"

Jabez stated: "Disable Windows File Protection." This should resolve the
problem, have you tried to Disable the Protection Service?

It consistentnly fails when copying files during the admin pak
installations.
Specifically the rasuser.hlp file.

I am puzzled, I just tried uninstalling and reinstalling SP1.

I can install this admin pak in my test environment w/o any issue. I am
having trouble figuring out what is different between our test and
production
environment.

This system is running Windows Server 2003 SP1. This is also the
version
of
admin pak that I am trying to install.

I do recieve an error in the Application Log for MSI Installer Error
1933,
canmnot update one or more protected Windows files. SFP error: 1223

Please try:

Disable Windows File Protection.
Install Adminpack
Once done, do a:
sfc /scannow

More info on SFC: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=310747

Note down the files that is being restored.

Now, see if the adminpack is working properly.

Hello

We are trying to install the Windows Servers 2003 SP1 admin pak on
many of
our production servers and the installation fails with "Windows
File
Protection " error.
I can install this software in our test enviornment without any
problem.

I have done some searching and short of disabling this service,
via
modifying the registry, the only answer that I can come up with is
that
the
operating system may contain some corrupt files.

Has anyone experienced this issue?
It does seem to be recoverable by loading the operating system CD
when
prompted.

My concerns are as follows;

If the operating system is corrupt, should we wipe out the servers
and
preform a clean installation? One of the suspect servers was going
to
become
a DC on our domain. This installation also fails on member
servers.
I am not sure if repairing the operating system is a best
practice?
These
are production servers.
Is there any way to verify a clean installation of servers? We use
a
emplate
server image for building our servers and I am worried that we
have
replciated a corrupt operating system to many machines. (We use
virtual
server software, thus why we copy images of basic server builds.
This
is
also
done in our test environment, which as I stated does not have any
problems.

Thank you very much for your assistance.

Mark Clark
