I have a client that bought an AMD 64bit processor system that in my
estimation is an absolute dawg! I have received several error codes
throughout all of the event viewers, in particular critical codes related to
the kernel and performance(the logs for a similiar period in a clean install
of Vista are 2x larger than the clean install). I also discovered an
additional administrator in Group Policy that I find no where in my
installation of Vista 32 bit. Is it possible that on consumer machines that
manufacturers are installing an administrator - the GP even states that the
system is shared when it is not. Additionally the system crashed totally -
it was in the restore from the manufacturer's disk that this double admin
came up - ie after I created an administrator it still persists to show that
the policy will be updated for this account - could the built in account be
active? It is a first for me encountering a machine that has so many errors
- my 32 bit gets a rating of 4.6 and the client's 64 bit gets a 2.6!!!! I
need some answers here but more importantly Microsoft needs to do an article
running down the meaning of these error codes - be nice to have a class id
listing - it took me about 40 hours to pour over the various event logs to
determine how Vista works - my time would have been cut in more than half if
there were a reference that really covers what's inside.
Sorry there is so much here and yet so little but I want to go back to the
client with an intelligent answer beyond you had this error and that error -
ie I want to be able to say with some certainty that they ought to go back to
the manufacturer and demand they take back the system.
