If you go to http://www.microsoft.com/ddk/IFSkit/ you can find
information about porting to Windows 2000 as well as other interesting
stuff.

Win2000 is quite new form me.
Could you kindly specify what are the basic steps for porting an NT
filter
driver into a Win2000
system.I think this is something many could use.

The driver verifier is not presently available on NT4.? I would
recommend that you port your driver to Windows 2000 (something you
probably need to do eventually anyway) and do your verifier testing
there.? Anything it finds will be applicable to your NT4 version of
the
driver as well.

Since the verifier (%WINDIR%\system32\verifier.exe in answer to

Is there a Verifier for WinNT or something similar ? becouse that’s
the
one I need asap.

I have been there many times ,and read the article /ifs/ntupto2k.htm -
Potential issues involved in updating
Winnt IFS drivers to win2k,but what I really need now is to know :
1 . should I compile and build on win2k machine or winnt can do the job.
2.  where should I change the win version to let the compiler now that he
is compiling for win2000
3. A proper make file for win 2000.

  1. where should I change the win version to let the compiler now that he
    is compiling for win2000
  2. A proper make file for win 2000.

Here’s a simple algorithm that works (though you’re not limited to this):

a) Build on Win2K, using the Win2K DDK and Win2K IFS Kit for Win2K.

b) Build on NT, using the NT V4 DDK and the NT IFS kit for NT.

Can’t get any easier than that.
