Windows Update Agent rebooting systems after Software Update deployment

I have a software update deployment that is configured to install software updates on a collection of servers at 4:00 AM with a suppressed reboot. The updates get deployed and no reboot occurs as expected.  Then ~8 hours later WUA starts up and the
servers get rebooted.
There is a maintenance window applied to the collection from 4:00 AM to 6:00 AM to allow the updates to install.
I've read a few forum and blog posts on this issue and have implemented some settings via GPO, but the reboots are still occurring.  The settings that were applied are referenced in the link below.

  • Reboot fails after software update - what now?

    I've just performed a regular software update. I think it included the following 4 items:
    - iPhoto 08 (enhanced printing etc.)
    - Raw module update
    - 10.5.5 update
    - ??? don't remember this one
    Three of the updates required a reboot so I opted to reboot immediately after installation.
    Unfortunately I do not get beyond the white screen. I don't even get to the apple logo screen? Is there any way to restore without doing a reinstallation of the OS?
    This is the first time I'm running into serious issues like this
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Olaf

    Yes, I stopped doing multiple updates, esp. those requiring a reboot. I do the one-at-a-time now, and for the major updates, I do them manually from the Apple download page.
    You have what I call a "stuck" update and what usually clears it is a safe boot.
    Boot into the safe mode by holding down the shift key during boot. At the login screen just click restart and see if the system boots normally (it usually does) and see if all the DLs installed.
    Post back either way. We never give up

  • Reboot problems after software  update

    Hi,
    Background: within the last week I have moved to wireless with the AEBS.
    Tonight a window popped up on screen telling me of 6 available software updates. I decided to go ahead and install them. Like the fool I am I did not check what they were for, but I did notice one was for airport utility I think.
    I am running Tiger 10.1.4 (i think) on a Powerbook G4. Immediately after dowloads completed I was asked to restart. I tried but could not shut down as airport utility would not quit regardless of how many times i tried "locations; force quit'. Eventually I went for the power button.
    Now I cannot restart the mac. I get to the blue screen and window which shows the progress bar but no progress is ever made. I hear no chime on start up and cannot even boot up in safe mode. I have also tried booting from disk but nothing.
    Any help most greatly appreciated!

    Find a friend with a Mac. In target Mode, see if your machine mounts to his. If it does, run Disk Utility, and Disk Warrior, then run the airport, and maybe the 10.4.9 combo updates again.

  • Reboot hangs after software update

    Hi,
    Sometimes when I use the Software Update utility and the computer requires a restart, it restarts normally. But other times (e.g. after the most recent update), on restart it "hangs" at the white screen. (Yes, I do hear the startup chime as expected; then it hangs.)
    I've let the computer sit there for a while, figuring that maybe it had to process something, but even after an hour it still is at the same point. If I hold down the power button to shut the computer off and then restart, it seems fine again.
    Is this normal? If it's not, any guesses as to what may be happening and what I can do to fix it?
    thanks!
    Fran

    The following generally seems to keep me out of trouble:
    There are no guarantees, but following this procedure when installing updates and upgrades on your Mac will go a long way towards avoiding unpleasant after effects and ‘post-update stress disorder’.
    It is also worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, 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.
    Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
    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. If your car runs on gasoline you would not want to fill the tank with diesel, so don’t try to install the PPC updater on an Intel Mac!
    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.
    Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.4.0 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 10.4.9 to 10.4.10. 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.
    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!
    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 10.4.10. compliant. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 3.
    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.

  • Reboot loop after software update

    My phone is also in constant reboot loop since the update. I tried deleting app after app  with no luck. What is going on? Is there anything I can do? I also have  tried the master reset, I highlighted recovery pressed the volume up and  it went into reboot loop mode again. Any suggestions??

        I know its frustrating to have a phone that  is rebooting constantly Jimlpn. I'm sorry the steps provided in the other thread did not work. Is your phone damaged? Replacing the phone may be the next step. You can also take your phone to a corporate store location for a hands on evaluation. Is your phone under the 1year manufactures warranty and do you have insurance?

  • Unable to Reboot After Software Update - Unable to Reinstall Mac OS 10.4.10

    Hello,
    I just bought a Macmini 9 months ago, and I believe I may need to either erase the HD to reinstall the original Mac OS (10.4.10) or else replace it. However, I am not familiar with Mac and don't know how to reformat the disk. Can anyone help?
    Each time there is a software update, I experience problems starting up from the HD. After the last update a few days ago, I am unable to start up from the HD at all. I tried using the original install CD 1 to reinstall Mac OS 10.4.10 with archiving. However, I received an error saying "unable to install because there is a newer version already installed." Therefore, I tried to start up from the HD again by pressing Option key at startup, but the Macmini continously turned off by itself without rebooting. I tried reinstalling Mac OS with the erase option, but it failed. After that, the Mac OS install CD1 only gives me the option to reinstall additional applications, but when I select continue, there is not HD shown to install the applications.
    Disk Utility First Aid on CD1 was unable to repair the disk. I received the following messages: "Invalid sibling link", "Volume check failed", "The underlying task reported failure on exit", "1 HFS volume checked", "1 volume could not be repaired because of an error."
    At the bottom of the page under Disk Utility, the following information about the disk is available. Format: Mac OS Extended (Journaled); Capacity: 111.5 GB (119,690,149,888 Bytes); Available: - ; Used: - ; Number of Files: - ; Owners Enabled: - ; Number of Folders: - .
    System Profiler is able to identify type, disk identifier, file system, etc. It shows the volume supports journaling, but is not journaled.
    Scan Image for Restore shows Library_Preferences (Empty), and Root applications are all grayed out.
    I performed the Apple Hardware Test (ver 3A129) by pressing D at startup. The test ran for 5 minutes and 6 seconds. It reported "No trouble found".
    It seems the HD is empty, but the install CD is not offering any options to reinstall the OS, only the additional applications. I believe it is a partition error, but I am not familiar with Mac and hesitate to proceed any further.
    How do I reformat the disk so that I can reinstall the original Mac OS 10.4 and 10.5?
    Your help is sincerely appreciated. Thanks.

    Good news!
    The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
    Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
    If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
    If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.
    I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
    That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.

  • After software update, required reboot results in grey screen with spinning wheel, cannot get out of it.

    How do I get out of a spinning wheel after a reboot from a software update?

    Talked to apple about this... The suggested fix is to boot holding Command-R and choose re-install.... I know.... I've never had to reinstall OSX; I thought that type of fix was limited to the Windows world. 
    Oh well, I guess apple developers aren't perfect after all.  
    Good luck!

  • Ever since I received my Macbook Pro in July 2011 I've had issues with my wireless connection at home.  After software updates, Apple support suggested I reboot my router which works.  But now I have to do it every other day.  ????

    Ever since I received my Macbook Pro in July 2011 I've had issues with my wireless connection at home.  After software updates, Apple support suggested I reboot my router which works.  But now I have to do it every other day.  ????  AT&T my DSL carrier suggests I get a new router.  Apparently the one I have is really old and doesn't support my Macbook Pro.  Does this sound right?

    If your using WEP encryption yes, Apple has discontinued that becaues it's worthless. WEP (and WPA) is cracked so encryption makes no sense.
    Get a new Wireless N router, set it up with WPA2 (AES) Personal and two different 20+ randon letter/numbersymbol character passwords
    One for Admin access only of the router, keep this on paper off all comptuers in a safe someplace.
    One for entering into devices, computers etc for Internet Access Only.
    You need the long and random password to defeat brute force attacks by GPU software that the hackers have now.
    Also if you give out the password to another, they can't hack the network with the guest access password.
    Computers remember the internet password, so anyone with access to your machines or network will have the password.
    Since you have another Admin only password, they can't hack in. got it?
    You don't need "Invisible" or "MAC Address filtering" that's a waste of time as hackers can sniff a network and causes issues getting on the network.
    Good luck.

    That's an annoying issue. Disconnect all USB devices such as Pen drives and external HDDs before doing the update.

  • Hard drive runs all the time after software update

    After a software update from Apple a couple of weeks ago, for some reason the hard drive now runs noisily and continuously ever since. It's never run that way in the 3 years I've had the machine. It would run briefly sometimes while using some websites, but it would always stop and quiet down once the site was done. Anybody else had this happen? Thanks - L Agnew.

    Hi,
    Make sure you have enough available drive space for updates. Right click your MacintoshHD icon and then click Get Info. In the Get Info window, where it says: General click the black arrow so it faces down. You will see Capacity and Available. Watch that the available drive space never falls below 15% of the total drive. (Some say 10%, but that's pushing it). Not enough drive space will cause apps to crash and freeze, including browsers.
    If drive space is the issue, you need to copy files to external source. Don't forget to delete the originals on the hard disk.
    If drive space isn't an issue try deleting this file. com.apple.softwareupdate.plist
    /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. Launch Software Update either from the Apple Menu or the System Preferences/Software Update pane.

    I have an original version of Photoshop CS3.  I run Windows 7 32 bit.  After an update of the operating system by MS, my Photoshop refused to work, whereas before the MS update, the software worked perfectly.  Please help.  Ernst

    Dear Sir,
    I have an original version of Photoshop CS3. I run Windows 7 (32 bit) on my PC.  After a recent (±2 months ago) update/upgrade by Microsoft of Windows 7 (32 bit) on my PC, I lost all functionality of the Photoshop software despite the fact that I have been running Photoshop CS3 on Windows 7 for the past 2 years without any problems. I uninstalled the software from my PC and tried to re-install it again.  It would not re-install.  After I press the software “setup” function to install the software, a window appears and a blue band runs across it, but then everything disappears from the screen again without leaving any message as to why the software would not install.
    I have been informed by Adobe Helpdesk that Photoshop CS3 does not run on the Windows 7 OS.  Due to previous experience that Photoshop CS3 had in fact run on my PC on Windows 7, I find it totally strange that I could not install the software again.
    In fact the, same version of Photoshop CS3 is currently running without any problems on my laptop under Windows 7 (64 bit).
    Please help if you can.
    Kind regards,
    Ernst Odendaal

  • USB Audio stopped working on 27" ACD after software update 1.0

    Hi all,
    My 27" ACD worked flawlessly until I installed 27-inch LED Cinema Display Software Update 1.0 earlier tonight. I have a unibody MacBook Pro that doesn't output audio from the mini displayport, when I got the ACD Friday, USB audio output worked fine. I also have a 24" ACD and audio worked fine on that as well. But after software update 1.0, I can no longer get audio output of the 27" ACD to work via USB, I even rebooted my Mac and it still doesn't work. After trying it a few times in Sound.prefPane, I now can't even select the "Display Audio - USB" option (when I click on it it reverts to the other option right away).
    From /var/log/system.log, I believe this is the error related error message:
    System Preferences[332]: Error ^P trying to set sOut device to 264
    Message was edited by: ayn

    I have this problem too. I have the 27-inch LED cinema display connected to my Mac Pro 1,1 via the Radeon 5770. I also suspected it had something to do with the machine going to sleep, but the audio doesn't disappear every time it goes to sleep. Unplugging the monitor fixes the problem.
    I also noticed that when the sound has went away, if I try to change the volume there will be a long delay before seeing the volume-change graphic. Also, toggling the sound device in System Preferences while the problem is in effect is unresponsive, sometimes giving the beach ball. Finally, this message is seen in console logs when the sound has went away:
    10/19/10 6:01:22 PM kernel USBF: 75053.200 AppleUSBEHCI[0xf3d0800]::Found a transaction which hasn't moved in 5 seconds on bus 0xfd, timing out! (Addr: 5, EP: 0)
    I can make this message appear on demand by attempting to change the volume.
    If (when) this happens again, I'm calling support.

  • Application to restart computer when needed after software updates

    We have a business requirement to not force a computer restart immediately after software updates have been installed. What possible solutions are there to detect if a restart is needed on the client and inform the user to restart, if nothing happens force
    a restart within a few days.

    Hi,
    Windows Update itself have this configuration. You could push the corresponding group policy to achieve it:
    Locate to the following path:
    Local Computer Policy\Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update
    find No auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installations
    entry.
    For more detailed information, please read this tutorial:
