I am setting up my server to host Drupal 6 on a IIS 5.
On the /admin page, it tells me "One or more problems were detected with your Drupal installation. Check the status report for more information." The only "problems" is that Update notifications is not enabled and the fact its on IIS is highlighted in yellow.
Since non-technical people will be administering the site and since I made changes to the core, I don't want the update notifications enabled but I also don't want people thinking there is a problem with their site when there really isn't.
How can I get rid of the Update Notifcations report and change/remove the IIS report?

how to disable the update notifications warning

I don't know about the IIS report, you'll have to keep searching or hope someone who knows replies.
good luck,

Thanks did the trick
And the status notification on the /admin went away since there are no other 'critical'(?) problems
although...
your reasons for disabling the notifications are really terrible:
a) you shouldn't hack core.
b) what do you expect to happen when new versions of core come out? after the 6.0 final release, 6.1 and friends almost always mean there are security issues (or critical bugs) that need to be fixed. putting your head in the sand about this won't help you, the site, or your clients.

Let me go into detail
I'm open to any ideas. If you can get me in the right direction on how I should do it, let me know, but here is why
b) I have a CVS server so I log any changes I make and I can use WinMerge also for when I need to update to a newer version.
and here is a)
Goals:
I would like to use one codebase.
I would like to keep the sites as separate as possible, so that I can't access one site's files from another site's domain.
Problems:
The possibility that one site could have many domains caused too much trouble to use the default ./files and ./sites directory because:
I want to limit user access a bit more specifically than what permissions there are by default
I will be working with pre-existing websites, I can't just setup the IIS server to point to the drupal folder, so I'm using virtual folders
Changes:
%site_id% is an arbitrary ID for the website
%dParentFolder% is the parent folder of the codebase folder
Site Root
/ - Site root (Under c:\http\site\html\)
/c -> Virtual Directory points to %dParentFolder%/drupal
/sites - Directory
/sites/%site_id% -> Virtual Directory points to %dParentFolder%/sites/%site_id%
Drupal Code Parent Dir (%dParentFolder%) - parent of codebase folder
/ - (c:\http_global\drupal)
/drupal - contains drupal codebase (c:\http_global\drupal\drupal)
/sites - contains site configurations and files
/sites/%site_id% - config dir for a particular site
/sites/%site_id%/settings.php - settings file
/sites/%site_id%/files - files dir
I just set the File system path to ../sites/%site_id%/files
This way Drupal can reference it and it works within a web browser.
an example webaddress would be http://example.com/c , so to get to the files dir, http://example.com/c/../sites/%site_id%/files works
I modified the bootstrap.inc, specifically the conf_path and conf_init functions to determine what site to use base off the DOCUMENT_ROOT (the root folder of the site)
I also made changes to the system module so I could more specifically setup permissions.
Anyway, everything seems to be working even with the changes I made, although I'm still testing it. Regardless I'm not that experienced with Drupal or PHP so any advice from experienced users like yourself are welcome
