Yup, but I waste 2 hour of my time to set this Punkbuster up. 
Informations how to set it up was very poor, like iD games history all 
the time. Now I am talking dedicated servers setup. It was very hard to 
set up Doom III running with .bat and server config file. Now this 
Punkbuster.

Now I know and can tell Punkbuster is not on/enabled on default. It is 
off. Now I can tell there are any .cfg file to edit with Notepad. There 
is only \PB folder on your \Doom 3 folder.

First you have to enable Punkbuster. Easiest way to check up if 
Punkbuster is on/running you type 'pb_sv_ver' command in server console 
(remote control to your server screen: vpn or Microsoft own remote 
software) or take remote control to your server (rcon password), and 
this tell what version your Punkbuster is. If console tell unknown 
command it means Punkbuster is not running.

Type 'pb_sv_enable' to turn it running. Type 'pb_sv-writecfg' to write 
.cfg file. Then go to Punkbuster home page and start learning how to set 
up those mystical lines. In remote support you have to tell http port 
where you come and remote control Punkbuster WebTool. On help they say 
ex. 8000. But they didn't tell that when logging in you may not press 
enter when entering your remote passward. You had to let password in its 
place and press then the button whats action you wanna use.

O'boy this all was so "left handed". How I said - I waste 2 hours for 
this!

But more is coming. I do not know how to update Punkbuster 
automatically. My pbweb.exe do not connect to server. It write only 404 
error (server not found). Maybe it is that 'pb_homepath' do not show 
nothing information on console?
