WSUS and deploying IE7 (genuine advantage??)
by Guest Freaky- 0 replies
- 85 views
Hey there, until several months ago IE7 was automatically deployed through WSUS. Appearantly this is no longer the case. Searched for recently installed computers in WSUS and they all report the 'Not Applicable' (freely translated) status on the update. These are XP machines, so I don't see how they would not be applicable. My guess would be it has something to do with Windows Genuine Advantage. WGA also seems to prevent me from pushing WindowsDefender to the clients. Is there anyways I can resolve these issues? Probably would need to push the WGA to the clients, which I would suspect WSUS to do, but can't find it. TIA & Kind regards

Hi, We have a bunch of workstations with Office 2003 Pro with Word, Excel and PP but *without* Outlook installed. These computers have been marked with one non-installed upgrade for weeks: The Outlook 2003 Junk Email Filter update. It seems that WSUS tries to apply a non-applicable update for these workstations. Has anyone else experienced this? Any cure? Jake

Windows update is killing VISTA....please help
by Guest Marcusoid- 0 replies
- 172 views
I have now read many forums to try to solve this problem....with no luck. After a brand new clean (but painful) install of Vista home premium update has been a big problem. Note here I'm not getting any error messages. Boot up is now very slow and when I use Windows update the whole system slows down to an unusable speed. My system is 2 Ghz Core 2 Duo, 1 GIG RAM (667mhz), Asus Mboard. System also craches if I try to open Media Center (which is why I installed Vista...)! System runs like a dream (excluding media center) as long as I go into "services" and stop the update service completely. I think maybe the problem with Media Center is that it restarts the…
