Scripts / Reset Windows Updates for WSUS...

Last post by scythe944 - August 13, 2020, 11:30:06 AM

If you have a computer that was imaged without using sysprep first, or just a computer that is having problems registering itself with WSUS, this fix might help:

Code Select Expand

net stop wuauserv
cd %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution
ren Download Download.old
net start wuauserv
net stop bits
net start bits
net stop cryptsvc
cd %systemroot%\system32
ren catroot2 catroot2old
net start cryptsvc


Copy and paste into a notepad document and save it as a ".bat" file.  Name it whatever you want and run it on the affected computer

Whole CRAPLOAD of useful scripts.  Hope the site never goes down! - Edit, removed from their site, but still on internet archive, just slow access.

Yeah, I have backups though.  I'll see if I can dig them up and get everything restored.  I used the posts as a reference for scripts and things, so it would be nice to have them back.

Hey Omid,

thanks for stopping by!  I guess I'll set everything back up like it was before, just need to find the time.

Well, I checked it and noticed all old posts are gone, a fresh start is not always bad, but many good info was in old one.

General Discussion / Wondering if it's worth it

Last post by scythe944 - June 06, 2017, 10:51:02 PM

Just rebuilt this site and wondering if it's even worth putting any effort into getting it back into shape with all the categories and groups and all that.  There's so many sites out there these days, it almost doesn't make sense.

However, all the other sites have advertisements and junk and this one never did and hopefully never will!

So, if you need help with a computer question or advice and for some reason you got here instead of another site, then feel free to ask.  Or, if you're a computer tech and wish to help answer someone's question then please do!

I'll take advise as to what additional categories you'd like to see created.  Just sign up and PM me.

Thanks!

Tried to update SMF but it didn't work.  I have a backup, but some other plugins weren't working before and I didn't really want to restore the whole site and bring all the errors along with it.

decided a new, fresh start would be for the best.  Besides, no one has used this site in years anyhow.
