Failed to save the registry change

I have a Windows XP (SP3) machine in a domain environment.  The computer is correctly configured in the domain environment (assuming that, because I can log in as a domain administrator and all users get the startup script ran which maps some readers for them).

I'm trying to change the registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate

In particular - the key: WUServer

I try to grab the WSUS server name it (i.e. http://main) (main is the name of the domain controller that is running WSUS).  When I entered the value and the output of the register - then go back into the registry, the key is still a Virgin.  I enter the server wsus again, exit, go back-it's empty.  It just won't save.

I checked the permissions on the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate and 'authenticated users' was a total control.  Also, I gave myself so full control (domain\administrator).  Then, I gave "everyone" full control.  Just editing won't stay/save.

What could be going on here?  It is the only computer in the company to behave like that.

Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Failed to save the UI resource file...

    Hi all

    I have to pass a CVI 6a 2013 CVI.

    After working the binding DLLS/LIBs now everything compiles and links fine and the exe works as expected.

    But there are some users that I have to edit resource files. As soon as I open one of them (a few seconds) or when I want to change one little thing, and then save the file I get the error message next message (see attachment):

    Unable to save the user interface resource file '... uir ' (the file is not a user interface file or damaged)

    What is the problem and how to solve?

    Any idea is welcome.

    Best regards

    Andreas

    Hi all

    Thanks for your ideas.

    I oversaw that effort to push the standard of the button Save of the cvi after I clicked away the strange error messages.

    Strange but true: If the IUR files are saved now (in the appropriate format) and error messages no longer appear.

    I think that there is a small bug (or format or any change...) in 2013 CVI when overtaking of the UIR of CVI 6 files.

    Good day.

  • Why the registry changes or the installation of security updates does not show in the session remotely from another server?

    Original title: the remote Sessions.

    When you install updates security directly on a particular server or change the registry, how is it that change is not displayed when you establish a remote session on this server to another server? My agency uses retina to analyze our servers for security flaws and he always report servers for missing patches or incorrect permissions on some registry settings. When you connect directly to the server, it ends up being false positive hits. Retina establishes remote connections to all servers in the domain to conduct its analysis. This has been an ongoing battle.

  • Is there a way to save the registry?

    I had a hard drive crash, the technology was able to recover all my files, but had to use a new disk to start. The old drive is now a slave but who no longer starts. Could not save my programs, because the new registry is not correct. Is there a way to save a registry and re install. Since all my files could be saved, I think there will be a way of not having to reinstall all my programs again. Some are older and after moving several times, I don't know even where to find the original programs to reinstall them, but I would use the the one I had. Also can I do a full backup of the entire system on an external drive that could be used to restore my computer to a State before the hard disk crash? (including the registry, of coarse)

    You can try cloning the old hard drive to a new one and then try to fix the boot errors. However, if there are other problems with the old hard drive, it may not work.

    But just passing the registry would not work. It is specific enough for the installation. You must move files much more (which would make a clone - it would be a 1:1 copy of your old disk).
    If the drive is not too badly damaged, a clone would probably work for to revert you to a State before the accident. However, it is not for the faint-hearted. You need a spare drive to clone and then to repair the operating system to start correctly as well as other errors that appear along the way.

    Chkdsk, as its name suggests, check the hard drive (and the file system). It does not check or repair the registry.

  • Failed to save the Local PC outline

    Anyone heading the question where if they try to save the general plan of EAS to their local machine instead of the server, just EAS is there and transfer the data to the file?

    I used to be able to save the files on my PC without any problem, and now there's simply nothing. However, on my other PC I am still able to save the exact same outline, so I know it must be something specific to the configuration of my laptop, but have no idea what to look for.

    Thank you!

    If it's web client, you use then it is most likely down to the used JRE, you're probably using 1.6 and 1.5 should not be able to save the outline.
    1.5 and 1.6 can co-exist, but you will need to disable 1.6 in the java settings, go to control panel configuration, java, java tab, click view and select only 1.5
    If you do not have a JRE installed 1.5 you must install one or use the other EAS client.

    See you soon

  • Failed to save the Mac Pro Quad Core 10.8.5

    I recently installed Mountain Lion on a newly formatted on my Mac Pro Quad Core Intel Xeon desktop drive, installed all updates to 10.8.5 and now when I try to record on the 1 TB drive, says the disk is locked. When I try to copy files to the boot disk, I authenticate first. The other 2 HD copy and record properly. What is happening that I can't save or copy on the new drive? My applications act as they are also used for the first time. I did a "Get Info" to verify permissions and changed to read & write for all accounts.

    Thanks for your suggestions. It's frustrating!

    Reset user - file property See post by Linc Davis

    You may need to restore the permissions on your user account. To do this, start on your recovery partition (hold down the command and R during startup) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In the Terminal, type: 'resetpassword' (without the), press return, and then select the admin user. You do not have to reset your password. Click the icon of your Mac hard drive at the top. In the list box below, select the user account that has problems. At the bottom of the window, you will see a box labeled restore Home Directory permissions and ACLs. Click the button to reset there. The process takes a few minutes. When you're finished, restart.

  • Alienware Aurora R4 will not save the BIOS changes

    Guy g ' Day.

    I recently changed on a motherboard in an Aurora R4 and now it will save some changes to the BIOS, but not others. For example, he remembers the time and if I set a supervisor password, but remember changes to the boot order.

    A battery low motherboard? Remember that your PC can be created automatically sync date/time on the internet so date/time are not necessarily an indication that the BIOS remembers those...

    ==========================================
    The amendment is expected to be auto-sauvé. Photo Gallery saves a copy
    the original unedited in a special folder... is what allows
    the program to cancel a change.

    In Windows 7, you can find the folder in the following location:

    C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows

  • Samsung T805 tablet. Pfd of SD card files. I can't save the edited changes [Android]

    Hi guys,.

    I really need help. I need a large number of working papers. Normally, I need to edit or underline the text. If the documents are saved inside the Tablet is not a problem of urderline and save it.

    The problem is that if they are inside the SD card. If I try to stress, I get a notification that the document is "see only" and if I want to change I have to save it in a new file in duplicate. IT DRIVES ME CRAZY! Cause I say 'yes', it seems that it is registered, but if I open the file again in the SD card it has not changed! And I don't know exactly where is the new file.

    I have no idea what to do, I tried a lot of things. So I have a lot of documents that it is imposible to get only in the memory of the Tablet, cause of that I saved a large number of them in the SD card and even the same files that I was able to edit and save in the Tablet I can't do with the SD card. I'm really disappointed.

    You people for all!

    This sounds like a device problem. It seems that your SD card is mounted in read-only mode, and the third-party applications are not allowed to modify the content on this subject. Could you please confirm this by using other third party applications (uploaded on Google Store) to change the files in your SD card?

    Duplicate files modified by Acrobat in such cases are recorded in the "Download/Adobe Acrobat / ' folder.

    I hope this helps.

    Thank you
