Registry entrie for installed updates

How to check whether an update is installed from registry in Windows Server 2012 R2? My requirement is - I want to install an update based on whether another dependent update is installed e.g. to install the latest update for 2012 R2 we need the KB2919442
to be installed. I would like to know which registry entries correspond to an update and based on that install the dependent updates using a script.

Hi ChristopherJC,
If you can run powershell script to check the installed updates on the server, please check this script, which get the software updates, however, it isn't based on the registry:
$UpdateSession = New-Object -ComObject Microsoft.Update.Session
$SearchResult = $null
$UpdateSearcher = $UpdateSession.CreateUpdateSearcher()
$UpdateSearcher.Online = $true
$SearchResult = $UpdateSearcher.Search("IsInstalled=1 and Type='Software'")
$i = 1
foreach($Update in $SearchResult.Updates)
Write-Host "$i) $($Update.Title + " | " + $Update.SecurityBulletinIDs)"
$i += 1
Reference from:
Listing all the patches/updates installed in Windows
machine
I hope this helps.

Deleted the Registry Entry for OracleJobScheduler service. How to recreate?

I accidently deleted the registry entry for the OracleJobScheduler Service for my production database. I know I shouldn't have -- but I was re-creating the console and clicked on the wrong thing.
Is there a way to recreate the service? I copied the registry entry from another database, but the service isn't showing up in the Services window. I know how to create services using the NT Kit, but I am not certain how I need to set it up.
Thanks in advance,
DJM

I do not think you needed it. But in case you want to put it back, export OracleJobScheduler<SID> from any other windows database server, open and edit it in wordpad to change servicename, ImagePath and DisplayName, then import into this server.

Registry path for Automatic Updates in Windows 8

Hello,
I have a requirement to uncheck the check box shown in image below.
Is there any registry path that I can edit or any script to do the same.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
See this thread with the exact same question:

Missing registry entries for burning CDs

I used iTunes to burn soe playlists. This worked well. However, I also installed Nero Exprss after that. After this when I brought up iTunes it gave the message "MIssing registry entries - cannot import or burn CDs or DVDs - reinstall iTunes" Though I was still able to import CDs after that, I cannot burn CDs. The error does not go away even after re-installing iTunes several times (either usiing an Update or after unistalling and doing a fresh install).
How can I fix this problem ?

I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

Help - Default OS password for installing updates?

I have a G4. I tried to download and install software updates last night but it asked me for a password to install the updates. I'm not aware of any password I set up.
Does anyone know if there is a default password for installing new software?

I'm not sure how this relates to AppleScript, but..
There is no default password that anyone else can tell you.
If you're using an admin account you can use your username and password, otherwise you can use 'admin' using the password you defined when you first installed/ran the system.
If you don't recall that password, boot from the installer CD/DVD and choose the 'Change root password' option from the menus in the installer (before you actually run the install).

Delete entries in "Installed Updates" log

Is there anyway to delete entries in the "Installed software updates" log?
I want to reinstall a firmware patch but although the patch downloads and says it has installed successfully it doesn't actually update anything... However, it shows up in the "installed updates" log.
Any one any ideas how to delete entries in the "Installed software updates" log?

Why do you want to delete an entry from the log?
What do you think that will achieve?
How do you know it doesn't actually update anything?
Why do you think you need to reinstall the patch?
If you reinstall the patch but it doesn't need to be reinstalled
then I would not expect anything to change.

Windows 8/8.1 - No Option for "Install Updates and Shut Down"

We’ve got a handful of Windows 8 workstations and I’ve noticed that users don’t get the “Install Updates and Shut Down” option when they shut their systems down. Nor do they get the updates icon in the notification area.
Instead, all they get is the following message at the logon screen:
There is no way I can expect my users to do this.
I need to ensure that the updates are installed when the user shuts down.
There must be a way of configuring Group Policy to allow Windows 8 workstations to prompt to install updates when the user shuts down.
I cannot implement an option whereby updates are installed automatically without the user being aware. If updates start installing automatically then there is the potential for loss of work if a user is away from their desk for a long period of time and
their system just restarts to complete the installation.
Our current group policy settings are below. This works fine for the Windows 7 workstations.
I presume others have experienced this? Can anyone offer any guidance?
Thanks
Current Group policy settings:-
Client Computers Policy:-
Configure Automatic Updating – 3 – Auto download and notify for install
I don't work for Microsoft - I just use their products.

I am sorry but this is NOT an answer.
You're correct. It's not. Microsoft has some overzealous contractors who seem to think any response is "the answer". I've unmarked the post, because, in fact, it was merely "additional information" which may or may not have addressed the
original issue.
I, like the original poster, have several computers that do NOT offer 'Install Updates' in any of the power menus and definitely do NOT install the updates during either a restart or a shutdown.
Now *THAT* is an entirely *DIFFERENT* situation than what the Original Poster has offered here, so the appropriate thing for you to do is to start a NEW THREAD and fully describe the environment and symptoms of the problem and what you've done (if anything)
to try to identify, isolate, or remediate the undesirable behavior.
The PCs I have are Windows 8.1 installed from a partner copy of Windows 8 and upgraded.
I'm intrigued with this "partner copy of Windows 8" thing. Have you asked "the partner" what they customized in the installation image before you actually installed the product???
Can someone please offer a SOLUTION as opposed to parroting what SHOULD happen.
Not until you provide us with some actionable information. :-)

Registry Entry for SCCM Client Version w/CU Patch level

I'm trying to write a script that looks in the registry to find the CU patch level for a SCCM 2012 client. I can only find references in the registry to the base client version (ex: 5.00.7958.1000). I'm looking for something more specific (ex: 5.00.7958.1401).
I can find this in WMI, but I'd like to use the registry instead. Has anyone found anywhere to query this besides WMI?
Thanks

Excel 2013 registry entry for removing the protected view in excel.

Hi All
I am having Office 2013 on my machine. I wanted to remove protected view from my excell which is showing up when I convert pdf to excell using total pdf converter. The protected view is in red color mode. When I tried searching for the same on the net I
found a registry customization for the excel to overcome the issue.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Excel\Security\FileValidation with “EnableOnLoad”=dword:00000000
I tried this out on a machine having 2010 office and it worked but when I tried the same on my machine I could not find FileValidation key but found couple of other keys like Trusted Documents and Trusted Locations. So I tried adding the dword in both the
key locations but could not address the issue. Is there any solution for addressing the issue on 2013 office. My system is a 64 bit one. I tried adding the above key in 64 bit version of excel. I am using windows 8.1 for your information.
Please suggest a solution at the earliest possible time.

Hi,
Looks like you want to turn off Office File Validation.
Maybe you should try to create FileValidation Key under the Security.
Remember to Backup you register before you change it.
1.Locate and then select the following registry key:
   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Excel\Security
2.Select Security, point to New on the
Edit menu, and then click Key.
   Type FileValidation, and then press Enter.
3.Select FileValidation, point to New on the
Edit menu, and then click QWORD Value.
   Type EnableOnLoad, and then press ENTER.

Repeated Update Available Notices for Installed Updates

My computer keeps notifying me that updates available when they've already been installed and are listed as installed.
The Command Line Tools, for instance, are listed as installed a half dozen times or so, yet it's cosnattly being offered as an available update. The list of updates available for the computer keeps growing, but they're all installed. Update All or Update will run and go through the process, but the list never clears.
How do I get Updates to work properly and recognize what updates are already installed?

One of these linked feedback sites should be sufficient, per issue detail:

I uninstalled firefox, removed all traces of firefox "directories, registry entries" then installed v5 AND I get sqlite3.ddl is missing from your computer. Does firefox use sqlite3.ddl and js3250.dll?

I used v4 with no problems, upgraded to v5 and dll problems began. I installed an older version of firefox and noticed sqlite3.dll was part of the install. Ran the upgrade and the upgrade process removed sqlite3.dll.
I tried saving the sqlite3.dll from the v3 firefox install and placed it in the window/system32 folder. Firefox then reports an invalid entry point into sqlite3.dll and js3250.dll

You can't do that. Such files are for a specific Firefox version.
You need to do a clean reinstall.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Registry Entry for Local Security

We are looking for a means of setting the Flash security
settings during installation of training applications using Flash.
Many users are using computers that are not connected to the
internet and therefore can not access the Global Security Settings.
We have tried finding this information in the knowledge base but
have not found it.
Is there a way of setting Flash security through
installation?

You need a CFG file in the FlashPlayerTrust folder

Error 0x8007F0F4 when trying to install update KB2686509

Hello:
I have tried several times to install the recent security update KB2686509. Each time it fails with error 0x8007F0F4. Fixes that other people have reported online have not worked for me. For example, there is no file on my system called "faultykeyboard.log".
I also do not have a registry key named "Scancode Map" that I can delete. Any advice would be appreciated.
Regards,
Richard Koett.

Hi Richard (and anyone else here!!),I run the WSUS server at a school of only around 700 computers. Some Win 7, some XPSP3.
ALL of the Win XP computers would not install this update.
As mentioned below, this was to do with a keyboard mapping problem...I.E. some keys disabled, such as the Windows Key.
I eventually found that removing the registry entry for the mapping, installing the update and then putting the reg back worked.
I have included here a .bat file script which will install the KB for you (assuming you fix the file paths within it of course :)
First script:
@echo off

I downloaded the KB file from: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29804 and called it "install.exe", and it uses the following commands for silent install: "
/quiet /passive /norestart
The changes I made to it force the PC to reboot after install (I chose norestart before because the script needs to put the reg keys back in before anything else). Once it has restarted, WSUS should pick it up as being installed.
Hope this helps, and makes sense!!!! :)
I want to say I did NOT create this script in the first place, but I have modified it to make it my own and do what I like it to do. Origin:

Acrobat XI Creates Corrupt Registry Entry

I need help with what to do, if anything, with what appears to be the addition of a corrupt registry entry after installing Adobe Acrobat XI.
The corrupt entry was added to: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
The entry that was added only contains the following four characters: @=””
The entry is not visible when using regedit. I just happen to see it when I exported Run to a .reg file and looked at with notepad.
See below.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Kglad,
Not that I know of at this time.
My concern is that this entry may cause problems if other entries are added to this location, which is quite possible, or when and if I try to remove Acrobat XI.
My hunch is that this entry was supposed to be Acorbat-sl.exe but I don’t know.
Sorry, I inadvertently clicked No for Was this helpful?
