    Hi, We are running WSUS V.3.0 on Server 2003. My question is I have a hand full of users who can not have the Internet Explorer 7.0 install due to some software. How do I exclude them from this download. I did open the computer name and when it Include updates for these products and uncheck the Options for this update but it is not staying. Everytime I go back to look at it the check is back. Any Ideas! Thanks, and Happy New Years!

    I am working with a DELL 21750 Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition and Service Pack 2. My server is using WSUS and it is receiving all the latest service packs/hotfixes from our internal network. Retina [my application] is failing my security assestment because I need to install a hotfix http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS06-033.mspx (KB917283). I downloaded this update while trying to patch my system I keep getting: “The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing…” I google this information and I got the following cleanup tool dotnetfx_cleanup_tool.zip. I ran this tool…

    Script to check Service Status?

    by Guest Brock Hensley

    Hello, I am looking to program a script to go through a list of servers and check the status of the 'DNS Server' service. We are currently running into a repetitive problem with our Virtual Private Servers in which upon windows updates auto reboots, the DNS Server service gets stuck in the 'Starting' stage and requires another reboot to get it to be operational. I'm experienced in PHP/Perl/Bash Shell scripting, but these are Windows Servers and I'm looking for some insight as to how to check the status of certain services semi-automatically. Any tips appreciated. -B

    Funny thing happening with my Windows 2000 Server

    Ok, here is the deal. We have had this Windows 2000 server running for the past 2.5 years. All of a sudden, with nothing added or loaded on the machine, it started to spontaneously freeze up on us. Now I have done a check on all drives, memory, motherboard, power supply so it isn't a hardware issue. What is weird is the first indicator is people being kicked out of Terminal Services and not being able to log back in. All the lights are on the server and everything is spinning correctly and the monitor is not showing anything weird, but the only way to restablish connections again, is to reboot the server. I have looked at the Terminal Services Mana…

    Argentina Daylight Saving rule taking effect THIS SUNDAY

    Is there any information from Microsoft about a patch for Argentina's Daylight Saving observance? They begin to observe Daylight Saving THIS SUNDAY, 12/30. Here's a link with more detailed information: http://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/argentina-into-daylight-saving-time.html The Daylight Saving blog (http://blogs.technet.com/dst2007/) seems to be the logical place Microsoft would announce something about that, but the blog hasn't been updated since October 29th, and has no information about Argentina. I know there is a way to create a custom time zone in Windows with "tzedit" but it would be a lot better and simpler implementationwise for my com…

    Workstation hangs when logging off or shutting down - Windows Server2003

    We have Windows Server 2003 R2 and multiple workstations all running XP Pro SP2. After logging into the domain and then trying to log out, the computer hangs on "Saving your settings". So far this is only occurring on one computer. If I use a different computer, the system logs off just fine. Another website recommended Microsoft UPHclean, but that didn't help. Suggestions are appreciated. Thanks

    How do I prepare to replace an active windows 2003 file and print server using the same configuration on the same network? This server also has DNS, DHCP, IIS, etc configured which will need to be transferred as well. The hardware is the same.

    Best Practice Windows Update in Production Environment

    by Guest Charles Law

    I'm just wondering what people's views/experiences are here. When configuring a production system, is there a recommended approach to Windows Update? What I mean is, we have a production system, and support system that is identical. When setting the two systems up originally, we have avoided using Windows Update to download and apply SPs and hotfixes. At some point, before deploying, we want to apply SPs and patches, but in exactly the same way to each system. We also want to keep track of subsequent updates so that the two systems stay in sync. I see there is something called Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), but I don't know whether this is wid…

    I am having an issue with our file server running Server 2003. We had to replace a power supply after it decided to blow up. Shortly thereafter we had an issue with the raid card and had to replace it and one of the attached drives in our Raid-5 array. After replaceing and rebuilding the drive, I tried rebooting. Reboot appeared to go smooth until just before the log on prompt would have appeared. I get a message stating that a service could not start and to check the event viewer. -"58786] DCOM Type: ERROR Computer: ALPHANET Time: 12/27/2007 9:28:37 AM ID: 10016 User: NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE The application-specific permission sett…
