Automatic Update

Gepost door StainlessSteel - woensdag 16 augustus 2006 12:11
Ik vond het erg dat die update het zo nodig vond om mijn PC opnieuw op te starten. Ik zat er wel achter, dus ik kreeg de melding 'Uw computer wordt herstart in 4 minuten', maar een collega van mij was weer een paar minuten typwerk kwijt, omdat hij even naar de wc was.

@StainlessSteel:

Dit gedrag kan uitgezet worden:

Start → Run → gpedit.msc → Computer Configuration → Administrative Templates → Windows Components → Windows Update → Zet daar “No auto-restart for scheduled automatic update installations” op enabled en “re-prompt for restart with scheduled installations” op disabled en je bent ervanaf.

Of indien de patches al geinstalleerd zijn en je wilt die melding niet elke 10min op je scherm hebben tik dan: Start → Run → net stop wuauserv (hiermee zet je de windowsupdate service uit tot de volgende reboot, en dus ook de meldingen)

De reboot heeft wel een functie, de wijzigingen die de patches maken aan de windows dll's zijn pas actief na een reboot, dus zolang er niet gereboot wordt ben je technisch gezien kwetsbaar voor een aanval.

HAL.DLL is Missing - Updated by MVP Alex Nichol

Option 1:

Boot from your CD and follow the directions to start Recovery Console. Then:

Attrib -H -R -S C:\Boot.ini
DEL C:\Boot.ini
BootCfg /Rebuild
Fixboot

Option 2:

Boot from your CD and follow the directions below to start Recovery Console.

Insert the Setup compact disc (CD) and restart the computer. If prompted, select any options required to boot from the CD.
When the text-based part of Setup begins, follow the prompts; choose the repair or recover option by pressing R.

If you have a dual-boot or multiple-boot system, choose the installation that you need to access from the Recovery Console.
When prompted, type the Administrator password. (if you didn't create one try pressing enter).

At the system prompt, type Recovery Console commands; type help for a list of commands, or help commandname for help on a specific command.

Most likely you will need to expand the file from the CD. The command would be expand d:\i386\hal.dl_ c:\windows\system32\hal.dll. Substitute d: for the drive letter of your CD. Once you have expanded the file type “exit” to exit the Recovery Console and restart the computer.

Windows Installer Logging

Enable Windows Installer Logging by Adding Registry Entries
WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe), and then create the following path and keys in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer

Reg_SZ: Logging
Value: voicewarmup
The letters in the value field are the options that are available to use with Windows Installer logging. You can use the options in any order. Each option turns on a specific logging mode. For MSI version 1.1, the function of each option is as follows :
v - Verbose output
o - Out-of-disk-space messages
i - Status messages
c - Initial UI parameters
e - All error messages
w - Non-fatal warnings
a - Start up of actions
r - Action-specific records
m - Out-of-memory or fatal exit information
u - User requests
p - Terminal properties
+ - Append to existing file
! - Flush each line to the log

* - Wildcard, to log all information except for the v option. To include the v option, specify *v.
It is recommended that you use this service only for troubleshooting. Leaving the service turned on creates a new Msi*.log file every time you use the Add/Remove Programs tool in Control Panel. This activity adversely affects system performance and disk space.

Enable Windows Installer Logging by Modifying Group Policy
You can use Group Policy to enable logging by modifying the appropriate organizational unit (OU) or Active Directory Group Policy:
1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. In the Open box, type gpedit.msc to start the Group Policy Editor.
3. Expand Computer Configuration, expand Administrative Templates, expand Windows Components, and then click Windows Installer.
4. Double-click Logging, and then click Enabled.
5. In the Logging box, specify the options for what you want to log. The log file, Msi.log, appears in the Temp folder of the system volume.

For more information about MSI logging, refer to Windows Help. Search Help by using the phrase “msi logging,” and then click the “Managing options for computers through Group Policy” topic.
