Windows 7 SP1 Prerequisite not in patch management

Reading the notes for Windows 7 Service pack 1 it has a prerequisite of MS
update 976902 which as far as I can tell is not offered up by patch
management. Does this strike anyone else as odd to not have it available in
patch management. I would also think that SP1 would not be offered for
install if I didn't have this update installed.
If I run windows update I am offered up 976902 but not SP1.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976902 is the prerequisite
Best Regards,
Jim Koerner

FYI noticed 976902 is now listed in patch management.

  • Windows 8.1 not booting : "Boot manager failed to find OS loader"

    Hello all,
    I know this question came up before, but I have being trying to fix this for many days now, without luck and I feel I need some new ideas...
    The short story:
    My Windows 8.1 is not booting, and gets trapped in cycle of Boot Manager until I tell the UEFI to boot from disk or USB
    I can boot up from external CD or USB Windows RE, from which I can get to prompt line
    In the log file in C:\Windows\System 32\LogFiles\Srt\SrtTrail.txt I read: 
    Boot manager failed to find OS loader
    Repair Action File Repair à Failed (err code 0x4001)
    Repair Action Boot Config Data Store Repair à Failed (err code 0x2)
       4. My disk is GPT partitioned, with UEFI Bios
       5. I tried the typical Bootrec commands: FixMbr, FixBoot, ScanOs, RebuildBCD but I always get the error:
    Identified Windows install:0
        6. I tried Bcdedit but I get:
    the boot configuration data (BCD) store could not be opened
        7. I tried to create a new BCD store in the FAT32 partition (temporarily named "v:\") with  
    bcdboot c:\Windows  /l en-gb  /s  v: /f ALL
    but I get:
    Failure when attempted to copy boot files
        8. Finally, I noticed that in
      C:\Windows\System32\
    I DO NOT have the file  winload.efi
    while in: ESP\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\
    I DO have the file   Bootmgfw.efi
       One question I have is: Is it possible to copy a "healthy" winload.efi from somewhere in my PC into C:\Windows\System32\ ?
    Where (which path) could I find it?
    Any other ideas? Please help !!!!
    Many thanks!! This is literarily driving me crazy because I really don't want to reinstall windows....

    Hello Kermit_70,
    What is your current situation?
    Please try the suggestion as aw00t mentioned.
    Additionally, please try to use Automatic Repair to fix problems that keep Windows from loading.

  • Adobe Reader and Acrobat Pro updates for 11.0.10 being pushed out through SolarWinds Patch Manager are not being recognized as applicable.

    I am trying to update our Adobe Reader and Acrobat Pro to 11.0.10 using the default MSP packages with SolarWinds Patch Manager.  All of the systems keep reporting as 'NOT APPLICABLE'.  All of the workstations have Reader11.0.09, with about 10% still on 11.0.08 (due to the fact that the reader 11.0.09 package only patched about 2/3 of the systems).  All systems that have Acrobat Pro are 11.0.09.
    In SolarWinds I am using the "Adobe Systems, Inc. Packages" node.
    Adobe Systems Acrobat 11 Catalog
    Adobe Systems Reader 11 Catalog
    and the SW Patch Manager downloads the msp's straight from Adobe.
    I have checked the msp's manually and they will update at least back to 11.0.07 in Reader, and 11.0.0 in Acrobat Pro. (I had an old stand alone system that still had Reader 11.0.07, and I did a new install of Pro and went straight to update 11.0.10)
    The SolarWinds Tech said, "Okay. That content is produced by Adobe. Any questions concerning applicability logic or diagnosing why a package reports as NotApplicable when that's not expected would need to be directed to Adobe, as they are solely responsible for that content and its behavior".
    I am new to SolarWinds Patch Manager, and any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    It sounds like you are attempting to use the SCUP catalogs outside of the MS solution.  I can almost guarantee you that Adobe didn't test it if it's not referenced in the ETK:  11   SCCM-SCUP — Enterprise Administration Guide
    That being said there "should" be logging available in any deployment solution.   Since I am not familiar with Solar-Winds particular solution I can't say if it logs errors and how verbose those logs might be.    If you have logs then post the output and the forum members "might" be able to assist you.

  • Often, Firefox app will close, but the underlying Windows process will not and cannot be stopped via Task Manager. When this happens, Firefox can no longer be used...the system must be rebooted.

    Hello,
    Often, the Firefox app will close, but the underlying Windows process will not and cannot be stopped via Task Manager. When this happens, Firefox can no longer be used...the system must be rebooted. This happens especially when many apps are running but even though there are plenty of memory resources available.
    I have tried to find if something is using Firefox in the background, but have no way to know what that would be.
    Their are no apparent viruses detected.
    Firefox is version v5.0 and occurred in earlier release.
    System is Windows 7 (64bit).

    well, it's not the same hardware and it's a bit different.
    I managed to pass that stage somehow but I still have a problem
    I don't use the built-in creator tool that comes with Spyrus as it doesn't know how to append a pre-staged media that was created by SCCM that should apply the Windows file system to a second partition and the WinPE to the first partition.
    I managed to do everything. my only problem is that the WTGCreator that comes with SCCM 2012 R2 creates the 350MB partition with FAT32 file system.
    when I boot from the device I get the WinPE, I can choose a task sequence and then it fails when trying to apply the wim file. the error tells me that the 350MB partition is FAT32 which is not supported (even though it chooses the second partition, which
    is all the rest of the disk space)
    what I did was adding another task that converts the 32 Fat partition to an NTFS partition and then the process continues and finishes successfully! but that's a workaround.
    I'm trying to make this process as smooth as possible without having additional steps

  • PC+AX Error - ....Windows is not setup to manage wireless network....

    I'm attempting to setup AX with Windows XP. I have a 802.11g Dlink router (DI-524) that I typically connect to using my work laptop. The PC has a direct connection to the router. The AX constantly flashes amber. I tried hard reseting the AX. When I run Airport Admin Utility on my PC the AX does not show up. However, I can see it using my laptop in the wireless connections. When I open Airport Setup Assistant I get the following error "This computer has no wireless interface enabled or Windows is not setup to manage wireless networks on this computer. If you have....."
    I'm not sure what do do from here. Appreciate any help.

    I have a Qwest wireless modem (model 2701hg-d) and am trying to set up the Airport Express (AX) to use already existing wireless network wirelessly (ie without the ethernet cable). Is this possible?
    In order to set it up I have the AX plugged into the modem via an ethernet cable. I have reset the AX and then run the Admin Utility. Once it recognizes the AX I then go to the Airport tab and select 'Join an Existing wireless Network (wireless client)' and then enter in the Network Name exactly as it is spelled in my modem configuration. I check the 'Internet' tab and it says connect using: Wireless Network adn the 'Network' tab is grayed out. Then I hit update and the admin utility no longer lists the AX and the AX light is blinking amber. Not sure what is going on. I am using v6.2 of the firmware.
    Do I need to use WDS?
    Also, does anyone know if multiple speaker selection is available for itunes pc like it is in itunes mac? Currently I can only play either my computer speakers OR my kitchen speakers.

    but still I am getting error
    The Windows PowerShell snap-in 'Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.Admin' is not installed on this computer
     

    Hi Olaf Reitz,
    After running the command still i am getting same error,
    The Windows PowerShell snap-in 'Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.SnapIn' is not installed on this computer
    please see below my task and i achieved so far.
    i need to get list of Users in C# from Exchange Server. for that i  created new User [[email protected]]
    in Exchange Server , then i give Full Access Permissions to that User to Access all other Mail Boxes.
    By giving below command in PowerShell  I am getting all Users List . 
    Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited
    i need the same list In C# code. for that I
    tried with below code.
     Here i got only particular user [ [email protected]] details , instead of list.
    SecureString secureString = new SecureString();
    string myPassword = "EIS2014!@#"; string username = "[email protected]";
    foreach (char c in myPassword)
    secureString.AppendChar(c);
    PSCredential ExchangeCredentials = new PSCredential(username, secureString);
    WSManConnectionInfo connectionInfo = new WSManConnectionInfo(new Uri("http://ExchangeServer.admin.com/powershell ), "http://schemas.microsoft.com/powershell/Microsoft.Exchange , ExchangeCredentials);
    Runspace runspace = System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace(connectionInfo);
    runspace.Open();
    string newCommand = "Get-Mailbox | Get-MailboxPermission";
    Pipeline cmd = runspace.CreatePipeline(newCommand);
    Collection<PSObject> results = cmd.Invoke();
    runspace.Close();
    so , i changed the code below
    RunspaceConfiguration rsConfig = RunspaceConfiguration.Create();
    PSSnapInException snapInException = null;
    PSSnapInInfo info = rsConfig.AddPSSnapIn("Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.SnapIn", out snapInException);
    Runspace myRunSpace = RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace(rsConfig);
    myRunSpace.Open();
    Pipeline pipeLine = myRunSpace.CreatePipeline();
    Command myCommand = new Command("Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited");
    pipeLine.Commands.Add(myCommand);
    Collection<PSObject> commandResults = pipeLine.Invoke();
    i need Users list In C# , how can i achieve this ?
    i am getting list in PowerShell , but i need it in C# code. 
    Is Visual studio Compiled code  be 64 bit for running PowerShell scripts  ? 

  • Patch Management config - Enable not applicable patches

    Hi,
    I am trying to clean our list of enabled patches in order to reduce the time taken by the analyze.exe. I plan to uncheck the "Enable not applicable patches" in the ZPM Configuation and asked myself when a patch is "not applicable", because there are not applicable patches in our list, some devices are patched with so I think disabling not applicable patches will result in missing patches that could be useful.
    Thanks for every enlightenment
    Yves

    Hi
    Well this part has been left out of the docs (Help), so yes not easy to see what this really covers. But my guess is that you should be fine deselecting this, if it's not applicable it should mean that you have no devices in need of the patch.

    Hi Friends,
    we are deploying the SP1 via SCCM 2012 , and the success rate is around 50 %, its a Light touch installation where user will initiate the installation via Software Center ( Web based )
    i was able to gather few errors , and this are the errors which failed during SP1 Installation 0x800f0828,
    some errors which sccm reports display are 
    11171
    10008
    10021-
    17031 - 
    1602 - User Cancelled installation
    113 - No more internal file identifiers available
    10070 - File handle reference is no longer available
    10050 - A socket operation encountered a dead network
    11170  - The task sequence manager could not successfully complete execution of the task sequence
    i could not find the reason for some of the errors, also i am looking for a fix/woraround if any
    Also i have noticed that in few computers the task seq failed at a place where after the sp1 installation a reboot happens and then PGP BYPASS utility is uninstalled, it did not start the PGP bypass uninstall after reboot
    is there a way to cut short the Task seq and keep it simple ?
    right now its like this 
    1. checking for prerequisite : checks for OS Name and OS version
    2. installs PGP Bootgaurd Bypass
    3. System Restart
    4. Installing Windows 7 Service Pack 1
    5. Final Restart
    6. uninstall PGP Bootgaurd Bypass

    Peter,
     I recommend to remove the Windows 2012 R2 server out of the farm and redeploy on W2008 R2.
    This issue does not have an easy fix.
    Summarizing, this appears to be the issue:
    1. Windows Management Framework 3.0 is integrated with Windows 2012 R2, which installs .NET 4 and Powershell 4.0. Not uninstallable.
    2. The Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell is not supported with Powershell 4.0.
    3. The SCOM SP2010 MP puts a package on the defined farm server and when the agent launches the package, it calls Powershell (v4 in theis case) and errors out. The target W2012 server will have an Error 0 in the Operations Manager Event log. See below.
    Options:
    1. Work around maybe - Develop method for manual discovery (I'm working on that now).
    2. Rebuild SP2010 farm on Windows 2008 R2
    3. System Center Team - Write a new MP to down version Powershell (Powershell.exe -Version 2)
    4. Powershell Team - Write a SharePoint Snapin for Powershell 4

    on current MDT 2012, Office 2013 is added as an app. MSP was created for customization and placed in Update folder (did it a while ago)
    I am preparing new MDT 2013. Deployed OS will be patched with latest updates. So Windows update will not take initially any time for applying patches after deployment from WSUS.
    I would like to know best practices for Updating Office 2013 on Deployment Share.
    Please provide a link or instructions: where to get latest O2013 Update Packages (at least security and critical) and how to place them properly in Update folder. Can it coexist with Customization.msp?
    1. What is the right thing to manage this? No SCCM in place.
    2. Does somebody includes Office 2013 in the image and then use GPO for customization?
    Is it a valid scenario? I see at least 2 advantages: no additional time after deployment and full patches for the moment of image creation. Than it could be updated in the moment of image update.
    Does it make sense? What are disadvantages of this approach?
    thanks.

    Thanks to all!
    Ty, I added a lot to my knowledgebase during bombing :) you with the questions since last week :) ... Thanks for the answers...
    I purchased Johan's Fundamentals V4 (found it more applicable to my current needs).
    A bit in pressure this week need to push 2 models deployment quickly and correctly as possible.
    So don't have time to Deep Dive.
    What I achieved Driver Group approach works find for tons of drivers. Tried just on model now...
    Have to solve sudden issue with WinPE that was working fine and suddenly stopped working.
    For O2013...
    Just to make things fast I installed O2013 in reference image.
    If I understand correctly I cannot use MSP file after the installation is made. I suppose to create it and add to Updates folder of the O2013 source.
    So now my option is to work with GPO. I have a configured one for O2013 APPV deployment.
    It works great.
    Don't remember if I can manage by GPO applications appearance in the Office. (Example want to exclude Publisher and Access from being used on client PC).
    Can somebody point where is the option in GPO for selecting individual apps within the Office.
    In my MDT2012 I use O2013 deployment as App and use MSP.
    For Appv Office I use apps selection from APPV manager. So not sure if it is doable from Office GPO.
    Thanks.
