Detection Office 2010 Service Pack 2 - Slipstreamed Install and WSUS rebuild

Hi,
at a customer of us the WSUS infrastructure had some problems and after some investigation the WSUS infrastructure was built up from scratch. We do have one WSUS Server which syncs with Microsoft and two downstream servers. After rebuild the WSUS infrastructure
we do see one issue:
Many clients were deployed with Office 2010 SP2 slipstreamed. Now the WSUS tells us for the Office 2010 Service Pack 2 Update (KB2687455) that it is missing on the clients.
Is this a normal behaviour or is there an issue with the WSUS detection of the Service Pack? How can I see which updates a client reports to WSUS as installed while connecting with the new WSUS Server? I've tried to figure that out within the WindowsUpdateLog.log
file but without success.
Any ideas are very appreciated.

but wouldn't that cause SP2 to install again (or even downloaded to the client?)
Maybe.
Probably.
If the "SP2 slipstream" was incomplete, or additional Office modules were added post-image, then the service pack needs to be reapplied. The key here is understanding how Office 2010 SP2 is different from other Office service packs in history.

  • Office 2010 Service Pack 2 (SP2) installation failing with error code 0x80070643 and B56

    I've been trying to install Office 2010 service pack 2 (32 bit) multiple ways without success. I've tried getting it directly from Microsoft Update, downloading the full file from Microsoft and installing it, using WSUS to deploy to clients, and I've tried
    using LANDesk to deploy it. All methods are failing.
    I need a solution that doesn't involve touching each PC manually, as I have a feeling this error is going to occur on several hundred PC's in my organization. So far on a group of 15-20 test PC's, every one has failed. We have not had problems with any other
    Microsoft Updates before this one.
    When I try Microsoft Update, I receive the following error:
    Code B56  Windows Update encountered an unknown error.
    Below is the WindowsUpdate.log excerpt:

    I too have been unable to install the Office 2010 SP2 update on either a Win7 or a Win 8 system.  Researching the errors I got led me to discover the following:
    1. Many people are encountering errors during the SP2 installation. Some were able to get around it by downloading the self-installing package and bypassing Windows Update.  Some were able to get it installed by first doing a Repair on Office 210 itself
    first, and then installing SP2.  But many others have not been able to install it at all.
    2. Apparently a common and insurmountable issue that prevents SP2 from installing is the lack of the MSOCACHE directory.  This directory normally gets installed on a machine during the original install of Office, and contains all the install files used
    during the installation.  Apparently the idea behind creating MSOCACHE was to allow subsequent updates without requiring the user to have the original source CD available.
    The problem is that if MSOCACHE is deleted, which is an option many people choose, you can then no longer do any updates to Office.
    I am one of those people.
    I found a posting that described a way to recreate MSOCACHE from the source CD.  I did that, and the SP2 update actually got farther - it started to install stuff but then stopped and asked for a particular file.  I found the file on the CD and
    pointed the installer to it, but it said the file was not found and quit.  So my install still failed.
    The last response I got at the Microsoft Answers site was to wait until SP2 is debugged.  It's not clear to me this will ever happen, but we'll see.

  • Mail Merge using HTML Office 2010 Service Pack 2 doesn't send

    I have a user who sends out mailings several times a week using a Microsoft Word Mailmerge.
    He recently had his physical PC upgraded and we gave him a computer with a fresh install of the same programs he had before.
    When the mail merge is accessed everything seems to work fine (selecting the excel list of addresses to send to, specifying the recipient list, and going to send the mail merge we select the e-mail address column as the To list and the format as HTML and
    select Send)
    Once the send button is pressed it shows the working mouse pointer icon temporarily and then nothing.
    I check outlook to see if the E-mails sent and there are none listed.
    This same process works on another user's computer just fine and will send out the e-mails.
    I have attempted the below troubleshooting steps:
    I verified that all updates/service packs are installed.
    I verified that the AV is listed as "Valid".
    I disabled the AV during a test send and it still did not work.
    I verified all the settings on both workstations to see if there are any differences and I was unable to find any.
    I rebuilt the Outlook Profile.
    I uninstalled and re-installed MS Outlook.
    I checked to ensure Outlook was the default e-mail program in Default Programs.
    I checked to see  that Word is the default HTML program in internet option settings.
    I checked to see if there was a 64 bit registry key in place that could cause problems and there has never been any 64 bit MS Office applications installed and so I did not find any.
    Plain Text mailmerge works with one caveat.
    I get an Outlook pop-up stating "A program is tryign to access e-mail address information stored in outlook. If this is unexpected, click Deny and verify your antivirus software is up-to-date. For more information about e-mail safety and how you might
    be able to avoid getting this warning click Help" (this pop-up happens for each message that is being sent so a 50 person mailmerge asks 50 times)
    And it shows a box where I can select Allow access for a specific time frame (10 minutes or less) and then 3 buttins "Allow" "Deny" and "Help"
    Clicking help bring me to MS Office help menu that didn't explain anything close to the problem I was having and did not "HELP"
    This is beginning to frustrate the user and I am running out of ideas to fix the problem. My next step was going to be attempt to re-install the OS at this point.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Whyitsme84

    The Mail Merge was created using a different computer/user.
    I have not attempted to create another mail merge from his account; I will try this and get back.
    I have compared the options/settings from that and another user as I stated above.
    Which registry keys would I import? I don't want to go importing keys and have it break something else.
    They are not any add-ins on either PC that are different from each other; and as I stated above I have tried starting it in safe mode.
    Anti-Virus is up to date; Also I even disabled the Anti-Virus to see if that changed anything, and it did not.
    I will try creating a new mail-merge to see if somehow it creates a settings somewhere that will allow it.

  • OfficeJet 4315 no longer works after Win 7 and Office 2010 service packs applied

    I've used OfficeJet 4315 on a Toshiba Satellite with WinXP (SP3) and Office 2003 and been delighted with the printer.  I recently migrated to a brand-new Acer Aspire with Win 7 and Office 2010 (home & student ed.)  At first, the 4315 worked well--in fact, all I had to do was plug in the USB connection and the in-OS drivers installed automatically.  However, something has now caused the printer too be essentially useless!  I think it happened after I applied SP1 to Win 7 and/or the service pack to Office 2010.  I can no longer print Word files (.doc or .docx), Excel spread sheets (.xls or .xlsx), PDFs, Web pages, or even e-mails,  The only things I can print are .txt files or equivalent and .jpg files or equivalent.  I've tried deleting and reinstalling the printer (including deleting the drivers and reloading them from Windows Update).  I don't believe I should have to replace a perfectly good printer just to support Windows 7 and Office 2010.  I NEED HELP URGENTLY with this problem!  If anyone has any knowledge or ideas, I'd be forever in your debt.  (HP, I'd even pay to get the help I need on this one!!)  TIA.

    Hi,
    Based on your description, my understanding is that the PDF files cannot be checked out to local drafts folder after Office 2013 is installed.
    Did this issue occur with Office files?
    I recommend to check if the Office files can be checked out to local drafts folder with Office 2013.
    And it is recommended to use Office 2010 with SharePoint 2010 for best practice.
    Thanks,

  • Should I install Microsoft Office 2010 Filter Packs?

    Hi,
    I have SharePoint Server 2010 installed. I am on version 14.0.7015.1000 (SP2) but within my SharePoint Server Search crawl I receive the following error multiple times on valid file types and character strings: "the filtering process could not be initialized
    when trying to process this item. Verify that the file extension is a known type and the item is not corrupt". From searching, it appears that I may have to install the Microsoft Office 2010 Filter Packs, or is this already included in SP2?
    Thanks.

    Hi ,
    Microsoft Office 2010 Filter Packs is included in prerequisiteinstaller folder when you install SharePoint 2010 (not SP2).
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/3c090e5c-7083-4255-a6c4-a6c8c089fe32/microsoft-filter-pack-20?forum=sharepointadminprevious
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc288751(v=office.14).aspx#section4
    For the above error message, please go to Search service crawl log and check which file extension(e.g. xls, xlsx) has this error, and check if this file is allowed to crawl, if it is related to MicrosoftOffice 2010 Filter Packs, index resetting,
    etc. please see more troubleshooting steps per the fllowing article.

  • Should I have installed Microsoft Office 2010 Filter Pack 64 bit with Ex 2013 SP1?

    I have installed Exchange 2013 SP1 on a 2012R2 server, and all went well (I am at early stages of migration).
    Following the pre-reqs listed here: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb691354%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx#WS2012
    I installed Microsoft Unified Communications Managed API 4.0, Core Runtime 64-bit only.
    Since then I have seen other articles suggesting that I install:
    Microsoft Office 2010 Filter Pack 64 bit
    Microsoft Office 2010 Filter Pack SP1 64 bit
    Given I didn't notice any errors in the install, do I need to install those filter packs or is that outdated advice?
    regards
    Roga

    Thanks for taking the time to post Ed
    I did a bit more research and it appears that there is more than one view on this.
    E.G. this blog
    Why Exchange 2013 doesn’t need the Microsoft Office Filter Pack says:
    "Exchange 2013 swaps MSSearch for the Search Foundation, a component shared with SharePoint 2013. The Search Foundation has no need of the Office Filter Pack because it includes its own filters. Unfortunately, until SP1 came along,
    the Exchange 2013 Setup program overlooked this fact and stated that the Office Filter Pack was a prerequisite. Setup would install if the Office Filter Pack was missing, but who’s going to ignore a warning issued by Setup. In any case, that warning seems
    to have finally been suppressed."
    This blog
    Planning and migrating a small organization from Exchange 2007 to 2013 (Part 10) has:
    "After choosing the relevant setting needed to begin installation, the Exchange 2013 setup program will now perform readiness checks. Assuming these complete successfully, we'll expect to see just one warning.
    This warning relates to the lack of the Office 2010 Filter Packs, which are not required for installation, and are only required to create Transport Rules for OneNote or Publisher files"
    And this one
    Exchange Server 2013 FAQ: Is the Office Filter Pack Required?
    "The Exchange 2013 pre-requisites page on
    TechNet, at the time of this writing, does include the Office Filter Packs as a step in the preparation of a server for Exchange 2013. What it doesn’t make clear is that they are not required.
    The new Exchange Search already has support for indexing/searching Office file types, as well as a series of other file types including some third party formats such as PDF. You can see a full list
    here.
    So should you install the Office Filter Pack? If you want to stop seeing that warning message, then yes. If you want to take the approach of only installing required software on your servers, then no. Consider also that installing it means potentially having
    to update it later on if there is a bug fix or a security issue."
    The final para above is the approach that I have now taken, but if someone can give me a good reason to install office 2010 filter packs on Ex 2013 sp1 I'll revise my view
    regards

  • Vista Service Pack 2 install error message and Realtek incompatibility

    Just want to inform that service pack 2 install gave me an error message when I installed it on a clean rebuild of my Toshiba laptop. Something about an incompatible driver. As I had already installed the latest drivers from Toshiba pages, I choose the 'ignore and continue' action at install, and the update successfully completed.
    I then ran the Windows Upgrade advisor utility (just search a Microsoft website to find it) which checks for hardware/driver compliance with Vista.
    Their report says that the Realtek RTL8187B wireless adapter driver has an issue with Vista, and recommends that the latest driver be installed. Since I do have the latest Toshiba driver installed, what is the procedure to follow?
    The wifi connection with this laptop functions well, with the only 'problem' being a 45 second delay when waking up from sleep mode to being able to open a new web page. This is the time it takes to establish a connection to my router/modem.

    > Their report says that the Realtek RTL8187B wireless adapter driver has an issue with Vista, and recommends that the latest driver be installed. Since I do have the latest Toshiba driver installed, what is the procedure to follow?
    You could try the Realtek WLan driver from the Realtek driver page.
    There you can find the latest Realtek drivers for different Realtek chips.
    But to be honest I would not be worried about this massage.
    Something like that can happens always after any installations of the Microsoft service packs.
    I remember that many drivers were not supported by SP1 but they ran properly
    So take it easy ;)

    I had a similiar problem, with my multiple devices.  I open iTunes and when all devices were connected I went to the info section on each device.  Under info I checked the sync calandars. Under that I click all calanders. I then did the apply in low right. I then did the sync function and it fixed it for me.  You have to do this for each device.
    I also checked the device (ipad,Iphone) themselves and change the calander selection to NO Catagory.  Hope this helps.

  • Any known issue reported for "Rollup 8 for Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 2"

    Hello,
    Currently our servers are running with "Exchange 2010 SP2 RU7", we are planning to update the Rollup version to RU8 for SP2.
    Is there any knows issues reported for "Rollup 8 for Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 2" till now ? is it safe to update the RU8 ?
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=41394

    (1)  I had to roll it back:
    The rollup released Tuesday the 9th caused random problems with systems ranging from general slow down to operation failed errors.  It didn’t impact everyone at once and seemed to take 48hrs for everyone to have a problem.  Rolling
    back the update and rebooting the server seemed to resolve the issue.
    Issues reported before the general mailflow stopping for everyone:
    Nothing major … an occasional operation failed when I hit send but, it will go thru after I hit the send button a couple of times.
    A MICROSOFT OUTLOOK BOX APPEARS WITH A TRIANGLE WITH A ! INSIDE IT. THE MESSAGE SAYS THE OPERATION FAILED.

  • Windows XP Service Pack 2 Installed, still no response from Zen

    I'm at a complete loss what to do now. My Zen Vision M will not connect to my computer. I've done everything suggested in these forums and more. I spent $30 on a high quality Belkin 2.0 USB port and installed it properly. I spent $20 on an AC charger to make sure it was not an issue with charging from the USB port. After 5 hours of waiting on my 56K modem connection I was able to install Service Pack . When this didn't work, I ordered Service Pack 2, waited over a week for it to come. I recieved Service Pack 2 today and installed it properly. Nothing. Why with all these fixes is it still not showing up as connected? I've followed every step to restart, format, and clean up the Zen. I've selected "everyone" in the registery to make sure Windows is allowing it to show up. I've restarted, restarted, reinstalled, restarted, etc., over and over again. It CAN connect, because I am able to use it as a removable storage device. But you cannot play music through this, so what's the point? What else can I do? I would just return the stupid thing, but it was a gift, and I'm trying my best to make it work.

    My computer is fully up to date now, I doubt it would work on anyone else's computer after all the hot fixes, patches, and windows updates I've installed. I don't know ANYONE who keeps their computer that updated.
    I did try it on one friend's computer, and nothing. I really don't know anyone elses' I could try it on. And even then, yeah I highly doubt it would work.
    How much does it cost to send it to creative? Because I've already spent $50 of my own money on this, nevermind how much my dad must have spent buying the thing in the first place.

  • Office 2010 Filter Packs 64bit or 32bit?

    So I will be installing Exchange Server 2010 on Server 2012 but understand as a prerequisite I need to install the Office 2010 filter pack.
    As my end users will be running Office 2010 32 bit, do I install the 32 bit filter on the Exchange server (to match my users) or 64 bit to match the OS?
    Apologies if I have posted in the wrong place.

    Hi,
    As far as I know, there is no way to install the 32-bit Microsoft Office 2010 Filter Packs on a 64-bit Windows, please try installing the 64-bit version.
    It's better to install on a test machine first to avoid the risk.

  • Service Packs, Security Updates and Cumulative Updates

    I would like to find a  document that would help me understand and clarify Service Packs, Security Updates and Cumulative Updates versions and relationships.
    Things like. Cumulative Updates include old Security Updates. Cumulative Updates do not overwrite applied Security Updates, etc.
    For instance,
    I am upgrading a server from: 10.0.5512 (SQL 2008 SP3, After Security Update MS12-70)  To: 10.0.5861 (SQL 2008 SP3 CU17).
    Would the MS12-70 (2754849) I installed still be present after installing CU17? The reason for doubt was that I saw another version of MS12-70 that includes
    CU 1 to 7(KB2716435). So makes me wonder about it.
    I am probably not able to explain myself right but, the idea is to find a document that can explain how the build information and versioning works. 
    Some how I have the idea that Cumulative updates would not include Security Updates.
    Thanks beforehand

    Hi,
    Below will give you list of Service packs and Cumulative updates for SQL Server
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321185
    http://sqlserverbuilds.blogspot.co.uk/
    Security updates are for Windows not SQL Server. SQL server releases Cumulative updates after that a comprehensive service pack is released which includes all fixes that were done in Cumulative updates.
    Cumulative updates fix only a certain type of problem(for which they are created) and should only be applied if facing issue
    Service packs are more through and Inclusive and should be applied and contains many fixes and sometimes introduces few features as well. SP are more thoroughly tested as compared to CU For Cumulative
    update from Microsoft:
    We recommend that you test hotfixes before you deploy them in a production environment.
    This cumulative package is intended to correct only the problems that are described in this article. Apply it only to systems that are experiencing these specific problems.
    This cumulative update contains all the hotfixes and all the updates that were included with the previous SQL Server 2014 update release.
    Windows patch has hardly any relation to SQL server SP and CU.

  • Pushing Office 2007 service packs through WSUS

    Does WSUS download MS Office 2007 service packs for administrators to approve and push to workstations?
    If so, how can you redownload it or see if it was approved as I cannot find it as being downloaded, approved, declined or unapproved when searching through the wsus server reporting.

    Hi,
    How did you define products and classifications? You need check product office 2007 and classification service pack.
    Another way is to import it via Microsoft update catalog.

    Hope this helps.
