Win 7 PC freeze and block network access for other PC on same switch during windows update from WSUS
Hello,
It's been a problem for me for a long time now, but the last time (today) I found 3 PC on 2 different switches that block all the network on this 2 switches during the update.
I have a Domain with 80 PC with Win 7 (32&64bit) that takes the updates from the WSUS server that is configured on a Win2k8 r2. The system works well from 2 years from now but sometimes cause this errors that make me look like a dummy in front of angry
employees. If one of the PC get freeze , it will cause lost of connection on all the PC on same switch, and i have to find the blocked PC, remove from network, restart switch and hope that they will came back on.
Does anyone experienced this problem? Any help will be appreciated
Thank you!
List of updates for today belowHi
Thanks for your response, yes I understand that the result is a Broadcast Storm and yes I have the cheapest switch on market :/.
The interest fact is that on one PC, I changed everything and keep only the old HDD and on last updates yesterday it was one of the blocked one too. So this make
me doubt that is something wrong in software on that PC. I don't have any third-part programs except browsers and all have Genuine Win7
The only investigation remained is what happens during the update process?
Is WSUS involved in something?
And another thing is the fact that some of the PC are cloned, but I have carefully changed the SID
Thank you for your support -

Error 1604
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
Error 1600, 1601, 1602
Error 1603
Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. Also, discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user. If the issue remains, Eliminate third-party security software conflicts. -

My Apple TV blocked during software update. What should I do?
You can't do much else besides pull the plug. If it causes further problems you should be able to restore as below:
Get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
On the other hand you may be able to simply start the update again. If however the update continues to fail, you should try the restore routine above. -
Resource account password set during User Update process.
Hi friends,
I added to the Update WF a step to initialize an account password when, during the update of the user, IDM creates the new resource account.
This is an initial password (known).
This event basically happens in two User's Update cases:
A. when the account was (accidentally) removed from the resource
B. when a new Role requires to add a new resource account to the user
In both cases IDM (re)creates the user account on the resource.
In order to set this account initial password, I check (in the Update WF) the value of 'user.update.toCreate': if it contains the resource name, then I set the pw after the account has been provisioned.
This method fails during case B. only when, for some reason, the resource account already exists BEFORE the update starts: even if the account is already there, IDM sets 'user.update.toCreate', leading my step to reset the account password to the initial value.
What could I check in order to avoid it? (I don't want to reset account passwords when linking existing accounts)
The only way I see at the moment would be to query the resource at the beginning of the Update WF to check if the account is already there...
MTIAHi,
Have you found a resolution to this problem?
Thanks

I received an ITunes and Quicktime update notice on my Windows 7 PC, from Apple this morning. During the update installation, RealPlayer installed. What gives? Why is Realplayer installing with the Apple software.
Thanks for the reply. I went back to check if there was a history in windows (Event Viewer) but could not locate it in Win7. The only updates that were in the Apple Updater window were the Quicktime and ITunes. Had I let the Realplayer continue on its own, it would have installed the Google Chrome and other apps. I let it finish installing and then removed the entire program. I do not remember checking or seeing anything saying that realplayer was being downloaded until after a reboot was requested from the ITunes Update Installer.
I just thought it was strange since I do not use Realplayer and have not downloaded any software for it.
I am on a corporate PC with a pretty thick firewall, but something may have slipped through.
Thanks again for the assistance. -
IE 11 is not blocked during Automatic Update step.
Greetings.
I am experiencing something very strange with our Windows Deployment Servers.
I have WDS 2013 with AIK-8.1 combination server to do our machine deployment. Some of our machines need to have IE11 blocked from installation (for compatability issue). As in case with IE10 before we installed blocker from microsoft and then captured image.
Before capturing it it was tested by runnign auto update and ie 11 is not being installed.
Problem is during deployment during automatic update step (post application) the system picks up and installs ie11.
If I remove it by hand after installation is over and run windows update - it's not installed. If I disable auto-update step in installation - and run them by hand after - it's not installed.
Does anyone else experienced this scenario when blocker doesn't seem to have effect?Hi,
According to FAQ here:
Internet Explorer 11 Blocker Toolkit: Frequently Asked Questions
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/dn449234.aspx
What registry key is being used to disable delivery of Internet Explorer 10?
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Setup\10.0
When the installation is over and about to updating, cancel the update and check the registry key.
A value of 1 turns off the automatic delivery
of Internet Explorer 11 using Automatic Updates and turns off the Express install option.
Not providing a registry key, or using a value of anything other than 1,
lets the user install Internet Explorer 11 through Automatic Updates or a manual update. -
Launched software update on MacBook v. 10.5.8 during restart, update stalled now nothing will launch-quits unexpectedly. Help!
As long as the report ends up with 'Permissions repair complete' then, as far as permissions go, you are fine. You can ignore the various statements in the report:
Permissions you can ignore on 10.5 onwards:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448
Some general advice on updating Leopard:
It is worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, as they have all been extensively beta-tested, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
So before you do anything else:
If you can, make a full backup first to an external hard disk. Ideally you should always have a bootable clone of your system that enables you to revert to the previous pre-update state.
Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site.
The Combo updater of Leopard 10.5.8 can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
Full details about the 10.5.8 update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3606
More information on using Software Updater here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.5.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.5.7 to 10.5.8. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
Now proceed as follows:
4. Close all applications and turn off energy saving and screensaver.
5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious! In fact a second restart can be recommended.
9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them compliant with the latest version of your operating system. Give them a week or two while you regularly check their websites for updates.
N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
[b]If you are updating Safari (or just have):[/b]
Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed an OS update and Safari is crashing, the very [i]first[/i] thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari.
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party add-on.
Additional tips on software installation here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692
To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
/Library/InputManagers
~/Library/InputManagers
especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
[[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]

How to removing a pending update that is preventing a successful boot
Hi,
For an unknown reason (my guess is an update was automatically applied and automatically restarted), my computer rebooted overnight and in the morning was stuck in a failed boot loop. When trying to boot I get the message:
"Preparing to configure windows"
"Do not turn off your computer"
Then after a few seconds the computer reboots and does the same thing. Safe mode yields the same result. Using the F8 option to restore last known good configuration doesn't change anything. I can boot into the recovery console.
I have tried running SFC /SCANNOW in a command prompt in the recovery console and get the message:
"There is a system repair pending which requires reboot to complete. Restart Windows and run sfc again."
Restarting of course doesn't change anything. So it seems something happened to an unfinished update and is still pending. I think if I can remove this pending update I might be able to boot normally, or at least run SFC and hopefully then boot
normally.
Does anyone know what I should try to remove this pending update that appears to be preventing a successful boot?
Thanks!Hello deuce_mn,
This is the command to run when booted offline at a recovery command prompt
dism.exe /image:C:\ /cleanup-image /revertpendingactions
This is supposed to revert all pended updates, however if System Restore is not working, then there may be other issues as well

I'm thinking this may help with a similar problem I'm having with SP1 (fatal error applying update during boot). I noticed that when I'm at the recovery command prompt, the system image is moved to E: vs. C:. Will DISM work in this case & will
it restore my System Image, pre-SP1 failure, to C:? Also, does it matter whether I run the recovery command prompt from the current installation or do I need to start from the original install media? Oh, one more question... When I installed
Windows 7x64, I used a minimal unattend.xml file to force all User Profiles to another, non-system, disk drive, currently D:. Both my system drive & user profile/data drive appear unharmed so far. -
Freezing up during software update
I just installed loin on one of my hard drives on my early 2008 Mac Pro. During software update the OS either crashes or freezes up.
I was eventually able to correct the problem. It first started because the phone's battery got completely discharged - thought the USB cable would keep it powered but that wasn't the case.
Anyway, tried to reboot the phone by removing and reinstalling the battery and the phone would not turn on, so this is how I understood what happened. Disconnected it from the USB cable and got the following message:
Your BlackBerry® Device Software is updated and you can safely disconnect your device.
Warnings were encountered during the loading process:
Application data could not be restored to the device. The backup data file has been saved to "file name". You can use the Desktop Software Backup/Restore tool to restore this information.
Recharged the phone, did the restore and the phone is back to life !

Itunes does not recognize iphone during os update
During the update of the os the phone swiches to recovery iboot mode. The pc then loses contact and doesn't recognize it anymore. When i attach the phone to another pc it recognizes the recover mode of the phone and it can be switch back to factory settings.
Everytime i start itunes it gives an message:
The software needed for communication with Ipods and mobile phones is not corectly installed. Do you want iTunes to repair the problem.
But the fix is apperently not working because the next time i start the message remains.
The problem of not recognizing the ipone does not exsist during normal iphone sync, only after installing a new OS.
I already tried:

If you live near an Apple store take it in for diagnosis. Don't forget to make an appointment online first. If you don't live near a store, you may get help by searching "youtube" for DFU Restore ipod. This is not difficult to do but it requires proper timing to get the device into DFU mode.

during a update of apple my iphone 3GS crashed an now the operating system wont load up..ive tried to reset the phone to the factory settings using itunes it took 4 hours and completed but my phone still wont come on..what can i do to fix the problem? please help #
In trying to include what information all that I could I should have specified I DON'T KNOW THAT IT WAS DEFINATELY JAILBROKEN when I took it to the apple store they told me there's no way for them to tell if it was jail broken or not. I'm only going by what ppl have told me COULD HAVE BEEN DONE TO THE PHONE. With that said the only thing I know for sure is that the apple tech at the Genius Bar told me that someone took control of my root menu in February & I've had no control of my phone since. I asked him how to regain control & how he knew his exact words were "oh that is out of our scope of capabilities here at this level & you would need an apple engineer to fix it". I said ok then how do I get an apple eng then? He laughed & said you can't!!!! To which I was furious I came home & called apple requesting to speak w/the fraud dept to file a report they said we don't have a fraud dept!! So after a 45 mn phone call again I left w/no answers.
