| FYI: /CheckUpgradeOnlyQ is a valid switch.
Some of you may see something about this soon. If you do see it, realize that the Q is NOT a misprint. Check it out at http://www.microsoft.com/TechNet/wi...te/winupgrd.asp if you're interested.  | |

| Well spotted 
You mean this section:
Checking Windows NT Systems
When executed under Windows NT, Windows 2000 Setup does not give the option to save the report file centrally. The report is saved to Winnt32.log in the Windows directory. The file can be stored centrally using the following commands in a batch file. Note the switch used, CheckUpgradeOnlyQ (rather than CheckUpgradeOnly). This causes Winnt32 to generate the log file without displaying the Compatibility Check wizard.
winnt32.exe /CheckUpgradeOnlyQ
copy %windir%\winnt32.log \\server\share\%computername%.txt
del %windir%\winnt32.log | |

| That is exactly the one, Yeti. A certain nameless individual to whom I am very close stumbled upon this very thing just a few days ago. | |

| say again kingsway4us, I don't understand? Yeti's are renound for being thick you know  | |

| Okay, I give up.
The "/CheckUpgradeOnlyQ" was one of the options on one of my exam questions for 210. I don't condone dumping, but I guess I just did it myself. Sorta. I'm tiptoeing around this like an elephant on potato chips... | |

| Here is a question from the free demo questions given by www.itexams.co.uk, so I suppose that it is valid.
12. You want to upgrade some of your computers that are running Windows 98 to Windows 2000 Professional. Although they all meet the minimum requirement of Windows 2000 Professional, you are not sure whether their hardware is compatible with Windows 2000. How can you check whether the hardware you have is compatible with Windows 2000 Professional or not?(choose all that apply)
A. Run winnt32.exe /checkupgradeonly from the installation CD.
B. Run Windows 2000 Readiness Analyzer.
C. Use setup manager to create an unattend file, then modify the WIN9XUPG section, after that run winnt32.exe /unattend:answer_file.
D. Run winnt32.exe /reportonly
E. Run winnt32.exe /checkupgradeonlyQ from the installation CD
You can run winnt32.exe /checkupgradeonly from the installation CD to generate a report about the hardware and software incompatibilities and device drivers that need to be updated. Alternatively you can use the Readiness Analyzer tool to analyzes your computer and reports potentially incompatible hardware devices and software applications. This tool has the advantage over the winn32.exe /checkupgradeonly command as it does not require you to have the Windows 2000 CD, that mean you can check your hardware before you purchase Windows 2000. To download this tool, go to
http://www.microsoft.com/windows200...mpat/ready.asp. In addition, you can create an unattend file using setup manager and then modify the WINXUPG section as follow:
[Win9xUpg]
ReportOnly=Yes
SaveReportTo="report_file"
where report_file is the location that you want to save your file.
After that you can run Winnt32.exe /unattend:answer_file where answer_file is the file you save when you create your unattend file In setup. The
winnt32.exe/checkupgradeonlyQ is use in Windows NT 4.0 system but not Windows 98. You can use that command to generate a compatibility report and then store it to Winnt32.log inside your Windows Directory. Read the links below to gain more understanding of checking Windows 2000 compatibility.
Answer: A,B,C
