Listing usernames via a null session on Windows XP

Found this interesting read about listing usernames via a null session on Windows XP (with or without sp2).

Tell me if you tried.

Windows XP SP2 Installation Error

There was a recently released KB article from Microsoft with regards to Windows XP SP2:

You receive a "Stop: c0000135" and "winsrv was not found" error message after you install Windows XP Service Pack 2.

Follow the hyper-linked title of this post to the microsoft site for the article.

Microsoft won't ship WinFS with Longhorn

Read about this recently. Read more here http://www.computerworld.com/softwaretopics/os/story/0,10801,95538,00.html?nas=PM-95538.

But WinFS will be available with the client version of LongHorn when it is released. I suppose keeping the deliverables to the limit, we would get some real working, secure and robust components of LongHorn. Over promising with the deliverables would cause lots of features but with lots of compatibility issues and BUGS!

Information on LongHorn here -- > http://msdn.microsoft.com/Longhorn/understanding/

SP2 Deployment Updates

Greetings folks,

I know there are lots of stuff out there on SP2, so I am not going to be talking about SP2 and it's many benefits.


How to install Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) by using Systems Management Server -

Deploying Windows XP Service Pack 2 using Software Update Services -

Previously there were no detailed steps on these two and if there was, it was on the Beta/RC version of SP2.
