MSFT has an x64 and an ia64 version of dumpcfg available. If you're using an
older version of dumpcfg, it won't work on x64 systems. For example, here's
what happens on my host if you use the Windows 2000 version of dumpcfg:

C:\>dumpcfg

[System Information]

Computer Name: HOSTNAME
Cluster name (DNS): HOSTNAME.DOMAIN.NET
Cluster name (NetBIOS): HOSTNAME
System Root (install directory): C:\WINDOWS
OS: Windows 2000 Server
Service Pack: Service Pack 2
Product: Windows 2000 Advanced Server is installed.
Terminal Services is installed.
***** 775
Error: 0x000003f0 - An attempt was made to reference a token that
does not exist.


Notice that it's showing my O/S as Windows 2000...this is probably the
dumpcfg.exe version that is from the Windows 2000 resource kit. Using the
version of dumpcfg.exe I got from MSFT for x64, it works properly:

C:\>dumpcfg

[System Information]

Computer Name: HOSTNAME
Cluster name (DNS): HOSTNAME.DOMAIN.NET
Cluster name (NetBIOS): HOSTNAME
System Root (install directory): C:\WINDOWS
OS: Windows 2003 Server
Service Pack: Service Pack 2
Product: Windows 2003 Enterprise Server is installed.
Terminal Services is installed.

[DISKS]

Disk Number: 1
Signature: 0D6DA5FE

Disk Number: 2
Signature: 00000000


I got this version of dumpcfg from PSS...not sure how to get it thru normal
channels.

FYI, in Windows 2008, this functionality is built into diskpart.
