• After installing Windows 7 using MDT, Windows displays the message "Windows Update cannot currently check for updates because the service is not running.

  Hi all

  I worked on creating a better system for my business get an OS up-to-date with all the required software, settings, and drivers. I have previously using WDS as autonomous and just syspreping images and pushing them up until he became incoherent and corrupting of the parts of the image. I did a little surfing on the web and discovered that many computing professionals use MDT to produce images of quality with all the customization they need. So that's the problem.

  The image works fine. I'm able to customize the way in which I need to and get most of my successful deployed pilots (problem with trackpad drivers), but the error message I get when I try to run a windows update is "windows that update cannot currently check for updates because the service is not running." After I received this message I check my services and it shows the update of Windows running service and long-term as well running services. Tried to restart as suggested and still no results. Undertook research for a possible fix and still nothing.

  Any help?

  Hello

  Vss control volume, which is used my MS Volume Shadow service to access the clichés of material, there's a GUY configured username. However, the initiator does not send a name of user and password c...

  If you use the EQL TYPING kit, then you should allow these servers access to this volume.  Or change the ACL on this volume to allow that the servers that need to access.

  Alternatively, you can remove it from the Favorites tab, so that he tries to log in the next time the server starts.

  Finally, you can enable the discovery of prevnet filter this of is re - produce.

  Here is a KB from the Equallogic Web site.

  Solution title error: "initiator wanted to ignore the security phase but we can not." or "initiator has tried to circumvent the security phase but we cannot."

  Symptom of solution of details: event on the web interface of PS log table shows a connection error for a volume that says: "initiator wanted to ignore the security phase but we cannot." This error can be repeated continuously every few seconds.

  Question: by default, volumes that have enabled CHAP authentication will be shown during the process of iSCSI discovery even if the initiator does not have the authentication information c. Discovery is controlled by its address IP ACL, so if a machine matches the IP address of the ACL scope, we will see the volume. Note that multiple initiators such as those that are unix based as the initiator of the Cisco software that uses VMWare will continue to attempt to connect to the target (often, every two seconds), even if each connection attempt fails. This can fill the paper and the performance of the server can have an impact.

  Solution: Limit the discovery of volumes CHAP authenticated by IP address and ensure that only servers with appropriate credentials CHAP can observe the volume at all.

  The most common volume to see this error on is the special volume named "vss control." This volume is for communication with Microsoft's VSS service, using EqualLogic host integration tools. If it is configured for unlimited access, or is configured for the CHAP only, then each initiator on the SAN will be able to find out and may attempt to use it. Set ACL "vss-admin" to enter an IP address for each machine that needs to access, to ensure that no one else does.

  For firmware version 2.2.3 and, before going to the volume named 'vss-control', select the Access tab and change the entries here in a proper way.

  For the later version 2.3.2 (including all versions 3.X) firmware, go to the Configuration Group box and select the VSS/VDS. It's the ACL for the vss-control volume, which you should change as appropriate.

  It may be necessary to restart servers that try to access this volume after changing the ACLs, however. Some initiators do not release a target once they have discovered, even though the table indicates that the target does not exist. An example of this are ESX servers, using the software initiator.

  A second scenario may be a volume that is configured to be seen from in a VMWare server VM Windows using CHAP credentials and also install on the table to use a single connection Cap. Even if the credentials CHAP is setup correctly on each side if the ESX Server uses the software initiator that ESX will attempt to connect to the volume permanently every minutes or seconds depending on factors both. With configuration to several volumes in this way, it can be a drain on performance on ESX.

  To troubleshoot this scenario make sure to activate the iSCSI discovery of the IUG table of PS filter. This is done from the Group/iSCSI Configuration tab. check the box off and save the configuration using the Green disk icon in the upper right of the graphical interface. This makes the servers with the initiators that are correctly setup to see a volume with CHAP will see and try to connect to these volumes. Note: once an ESX Server has seen a volume to continue to try to connect with the software initiator until the ESX Server is restarted after this option is turned on.

  Note that, since the version of the firmware 3.0.5 and later, you can require authentication for CHAP-enabled volumes during discovery, by issuing the command in the CLI:

  GroupName > enable discovery-use-chap grpparams

  Please don't say no "update for Win 7" or "Reinstall Windows" because it's not just going to happen.

  Thanks in advance,

  Hello

  1. you remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

  2. what anti-virus software is installed on your computer?

  Follow these methods.

  Method 1: Anti-virus software may conflict with Windows Update.  You can temporary disable them and check the issue.

  Disable the antivirus software

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

  Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

   

  Method 2: How to reset the Windows Update components?
   http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058
  Important: this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/back-up-the-registry

   

  Method 3:  If the methods above do not help, I suggest you delete the edb.log file and check if that helps.

  Follow these steps:

  a. click the Start button, click computer.

  b. now, go to this site: C:\windows\softwaredistribution\datastore\logs\edb.log

  c. delete the log file, and then restart the computer and check the issue.

  Well, it's going to be a long Chronicle, but in the end, the problem has been resolved. Please bear with me:

  Running the program MS Fixit in the past without success, I tried to run the update after you temporarily disable AVG, my program AV. no joy.

  I then ran CC Cleaner to get rid of some of 'dead weight '. I even used its registry cleaning option (which included saves).

  At that point, I did some 'household', & began to defragment my HD with Defraggler. But since it seems to take forever, I went to My Defrag, who finished the job much quicker.

  Although I tried to delete the edb.log file using method 3, I kept getting a message system which was unable to complete this action because the file has been opened in another program.  In the end, I was able to delete the file, but fact directly through Explorer. There also seems to be a sort of small file edb.log, indicating that it was a "recovered" version I deleted that one as well.

  At this point, I ran MS Fixit, who States that the Windows Update components needed to be fixed and proceeded to do so again. Because he had allegedly "fixed" my Updater in the past, I was not holding much hope that this time would be any different. So, after that what he has done, I was pleasantly surprised, I might actually start updating!

  However, the update message that a new version would be dl before I could go any further. So I did it.

  When the new version is started, it ran for about 10 minutes, coming with about 50 updates. According to flush out those who were of no use to me, finally I had dl and installed all relevant updates. And now, the update seems to work fine.

  Once again, my apologies for the long answer. But I wanted to tell the whole story, as I did not quite plan of RajithR.

  Thank you!
