chaps, I have a memory like a seive, could somone please remind me of what chkroot.cmd's function in life is.. also, for you performance tuning bods out there... I have a question about the basic performance setting in windows 2k.. I read in the Metaframe tuning guide by the guy from Citrix that it is recommended that the performance setting in win2k be set to background processing in order to provide equal thread quantum for all process priorities, i.e. 20/20/20 or something like that.. well, I'm no expert but I would disagree with this because why would you want to give equal priority to threads that have been specifically programmed to execute in the background?? I think also that a mistake is generally made where people describe users running on a terminal server as being 'background'... my guess is, that this is not correct either... just because they cannot be seen, they are still 'foreground' applications in the context of the windows execution environment. This is a very basic setting and I would like to get it right for our standard farm server build as I have over 40 to build over the next few months ?? Any guidance appreciated....
