Cannot uninstall windows powershell in order to upgrade from win2k3 ent x64 to win2k8 ent x64

I can't seem to uninstall windows powershell in order to upgrade my windows 2003 enterprise x64 server to win2k8 ent x64. It says...
You must make the following changes before upgrading Windows
Uninstall the following programs:
Windows PowerShell
I read if I uninstall kb926139 I will in essence uninstall powershell, however I'm being told in add/remove programs that the program cannot be removed, nor is windows powershell displayed as an installed application.

Hi,
I suggest uninstalling SP2 first and then trying to uninstall Powershell.
If the issue persists, you may consider performing an In-Place Upgrade of Windows Server 2003 and then upgrade to Windows Server 2008.

Can't uninstall HP Client security in order to upgrade from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10

I have HP Probook 450 G2 and my Computer wants to upgrade from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. But when it begins the upgrade process, I get the message, that 'HP Client Security manager' isn't compatible with Windows 10 and that it must be uninstalled. In order to uninstall it, I first must uninstall HP drive encryption. But to uninstall 'HP drive encryption' all partitions must be decrypted. I have two partition encrypted. hp drive encryption successfully decyrpted C partition with windows, but it can't decrypt H: partition (it has 60 GB data from my dropbox account). In Drive security it says H partition it's decyrpting, but there are no %. Only gray bar. It's been so for 5 days now. I tried to encrypt the H partition again and it did it in 1 second. After the reboot there was a sign Encrypted next to the partition lettter. I than again tried to decrypt H partition and it again won't do it. There' s only a gray bar without % and a sentence that partition is beeing decrypted next to the drive letter. I must decrypt this partition in order to uninstall 'HP drive encryption'. 'HP drive encryption' must be uninstaled in order to uninstall 'HP Client Securtiy Manager'. 'HP Client Securtiy Manager' must be uninstalled in order to upgrade from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10.

Actually it's H partition that hp drive encryption is decrypting 5 days now (without % sign). I have only my dropbox data there. I could format that partition and downlad the data from dropbox again (it would take 1 day to download 60 GB of the data again from dropbox). D partition is HP recovery partition but I don't have any problems with it yet (i made a letter mistake in first post). I also made HP recovery media on USB stick. Will hp drive encryption automaticaly update the status of H partition from 'Decrypting' to 'decyrpted', if I format the H: partition? Will drive encyrption login window (WinMagic’s Pre-boot UEFI) (before the windows login) automatically be removed, if I format the H: partition? Will FilterBootOrder (FBO) variable automatically be removed, if I format the H: partition?I imagine this is automaticaly done via decrytion of all partitions/disk in HP client security (which doesn't work correct at my computer). Maybe afterwards the H: partition is formated and HP drive encryption status updated, I can then uninstall hp drive encryption and hp client security and install win10. This is another option.

How to uninstall Windows PowerShell

I attempted In-Place install of Vista SP2 over an exiting Vista SP2, then a message said I must uninstall Windows PowerShell. There is its short-cut in the program folder but there is no such entry in Add/Remove list.

You need to uninstall previous versions of Windows PowerShell and Windows Remote Management (WinRM) before you can install Windows Management Framework, which includes Windows PowerShell 2.0 and WinRM 2.0. This procedure should be performed on computers
running Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2003, or Windows XP.
You don't need to perform this procedure on computers running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2. The current version of Windows Management Framework is already installed on these operating systems.
Looking for other management tasks related to Windows PowerShell and Windows Remote Management? Check out
Managing Exchange Management Shell Connections.
Note:
If you want to run remote Shell on a computer that already has Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 installed, you don't need to perform this procedure. Instead, for more information about how to open the Shell with the Exchange management tools installed, see
Open the Shell.

I cannot uninstall itunes version 10.7.0.21 from my laptop use of that I also cannot install the new update.

I cannot uninstall iTunes version 10.7.0.21 from my laptop (windows 7), therefore I cannot install the new iTunes version....!
Every time I try to do it, a "message" from the windows installer pops up saying "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable", I try to find the installation package "iTunes.msi" but I can never find it either...!
The funny part is, I can still use this version, but I would like the have the update, which can make my computer much faster than now!
Can someone help me out??

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Server 2012 X64 R2 DNS Server keeps shutting down after inplace upgrade from Server 2012 X64

Hi,
ever since upgrading from Server 2012 X64 to Server 2012 R2 X64 my dns server keeps shutting down every several minutes before having to do a restart. When viewing the event log this is all I see..
The DNS Server service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 497 time(s). The following corrective action will be taken in 60000 milliseconds: Restart the service.

I have tried removing and then reinstalling the DNS Server role, but the same situation occurs..
thanks,

Hi,
I'm going crazy, I've upgraded my Server 2012 Standard to Server 2012 R2 Standard and now my DNS server keeps crashing since the in place upgrade. I have finally narrowed it down to it only crashes after several minutes if I load the data from
a file instead of the registry. As a test I:
-1- killed all my dns data,
-2- uninstalled the dns server role
-3- deleted the /windows/system32/dns directory
-4- reinstalled the DNS server role
-5- used the wizard to create a DNS server and a forward zone.
everything works okay, no crashes, then I change the advanced propertied of the DNS server to load from file, restart the DNS server and once again it crashes every 2 minutes..
Please help, this is killing me..
thanks in advance..

Cannot 'Unmark Blank' for FIB Questions after Upgrade from CP4 to CP5 (Fill in the Blank)

Hi Everyone!
I'm having trouble editing a fill in the blank question that was upgraded from CP4 to CP5.
The problems is I cannot see where the blank is. Not the blank in my sentence, I have that, but the entry box. When running the course the blanks are at the TOP LEFT corner fo the slide.
but when creating the course I can't see where the blanks are, to move them.....
So to Troubleshoot, I thought I'd re-construct the answers, I clicked the sentence, and clicked unmark ... but it does not unmark....
<EDIT> Okay I got it to unmark, sorta, but not really. Now I have three answer boxes on the test in run mode, but cant see ANY in CP5 when building it. </EDIT>
Hmmmmm
Anyone got ideas?
(re-constructing the question on a new slide is not desired, I have hundres of questions, considering my 30 courses.
Thank you!
Greg

Hello,
Sorry, but I do not understand your question quite well, it is an editing issue when upgrading. Perhaps it would help if you posted some screenshots?
And to be sure: did you install the patch for CP5 released in December?

DPM 2012 Cannot modify or create protection groups after upgrading from DPM 2010

Hi,
We have recently upgraded from DPM 2010 to 2012. Since the upgrade we have been unable to create new protection groups or add new datasources to an existing group. Existing backups are running without errors.
We have tried checking the DPM sql user account permissions as described in
this article but with no luck. More searching has not provided any other relavent fixes. We are now stuck on how to troubleshoot this any further.
In the DPM console we get the following error adding a VM to an existing protection group:
Modify protection group: Virtual Machines failed:
Error 207: An unexpected error occurred on DPM server machine during a VSS operation.
Error details: VssError:Shadow copying the specified volume is not supported.
(0x8004230C)
Recommended action: Retry the operation.
Allocate Replica For \Backup Using Saved State\Cacti failed:
Error 207: An unexpected error occurred on DPM server machine during a VSS operation.
Error details: VssError:Shadow copying the specified volume is not supported.
(0x8004230C)
Recommended action: Retry the operation.
In the event log we see:
The description for Event ID 955 from source MSDPM cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.
If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.
The following information was included with the event:
The consistency check resulted in the following changes to SQL Server Agent schedules: Schedules added: 1 Schedules removed: 1 Schedules updated: 0.
Problem Details:
<ConsistencyCheck><__System><ID>26</ID><Seq>1534</Seq><TimeCreated>23/04/2012 09:33:29</TimeCreated><Source>SchedulerImpl.cs</Source><Line>719</Line><HasError>True</HasError></__System><Tags><JobSchedule
/></Tags></ConsistencyCheck>
the message resource is present but the message is not found in the string/message table
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi,
The error 0x8004230C VSS_E_VOLUME_NOT_SUPPORTED: Shadow copying the specified volume is not supported, can only come when trying to enable shadow copies on new volumes created when trying to add new datasources to protection. Generally speaking
Only NTFS volumes greater that 1GB with a minimum of 300MB free space can be shadow copied, so something is going wrong with the volume creation / format process. Please investigate that, see if two new volumes get created when protecting a new data
source, and the sizes are greated that 1GB and also verify it's formatted NTFS.

I have Windows 7. I cannot uninstall/repair iTunes in order to follow steps to unintsall so I can update!

Hi everyone.
I have tried everything to uninstall iTunes so I can update it, even downloaded and paid for a suggest program to fix it and nothing (quick annoyed at that). I was trying to follow the steps that have been recommended many times before (most recently here in May I think), however uninstalling iTunes is the first step and it just doesn't happen. Do I skip that step and move forward through the remaining steps? There's no real explanation for what to do should you not be able to uninstall.

This is the most recent process I've been trying to follow... http://support.apple.com/en-au/HT1923

Cannot install DVD/CD ROM drive after upgrading from Windows 7

I had a working DVD/CD-ROM drive before upgrading. Now it shows as Unknown Device in Device Manager, I tried uninstalling it and then scanned for hardware changes but it still does not work. I also tried manually selecting a CD-ROM drive for it but it
ends up with an error code 31. I also checked for {4d36e965-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318} registry but it did not have lowerfilters key. How do I install the driver for it?

Hi,
The error code 31 means that Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device.
Considering that this issue mostly can be caused by compatible issue.
Please check if you can fine the latest driver from Manufacturer’s website. If so, try to install it under Windows 10 compatibility mode: Right click the installer of the driver, choose Properties, choose Windows 7 under Compatibility
mode to install.
If the CD device still fails to work, I recommend to check the setupapi.dev.log under %windir%\inf, locate the device and find the line below:
dvi: Rank - 0x00000000
Then, corresponds the score in this link:
Identifier Score
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff546297(v=vs.85).aspx
The value 0x00003000 is the best identifier score and the value 0x00003FFF is the worst identifier score.
The score near 0x00003FFF means that the driver and device may not compatible with current system, we may need to wait for the menufacturer’s driver update.
Thanks for your understanding.
