Is it possible to replicate the Windows updates?

Is it possible to replicate the Windows updates. For example, if you are on a custom DNS may send you fake people updates by using the default Windows Update integrated in the operating system.

I think I could have vulnerabilities, but they cannot solve the problems and I was wondering this because it is in the area of vulnerability.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

So where and how can I know what updates I need after that this problem is corrected.  Thank you

    If you want Office 2007 updates to appear in the installed updates again, you would need to uninstall/reinstall Office 2007 and install all the updates again.

    Assuming that Office 2007 is installed & working properly and no update is offered when you run a manual check for updates now, you might want to leave enough alone (that is, do nothing) - then see if the 2 updates for Office 2007 SP3 be released next Tuesday (a) receive, (b) successfully install and (c) are listed in the installed updates later.

    PS: The possible causes of the problem are messing with registry cleaners, messing around with the Software Distribution folder, and the fact that it was a computer refurbished when you bought it.

  • Updates to Windows 8 - "Configuration of the Windows updates, changes in restoration failure"

    Hello

    Recently I finally got my laptop back from repairs after 6 weeks. Now, it is in a 'clean' State (aka factory settins).

    I wanted to get to 8.1 Windows as soon as possible, but for this I need to be on the latest version of Windows 8.

    So I then try to run "Windows Update" and let it install all updates recommended. He manages to download all updates,

    and then he tries to configure these. About 98% or 99%, it gives the following message:

    'Configuration of the Windows updates, changes back failure'

    It then goes in an infinite loop constantly, he ran for hours and hours without having passed this screen.

    So far, the only solution is to reset it to factory settings, which brings me to the point before that I try to update, so it is not move me.

    I've tried so far, but no luck what follows:

    None of them has worked so far.

    To be clear:

    It is an OEM license. This doesn't mean no DISC, nor any ISO/Exe could work that they do not accept the product key.

    Many other people have the same problem.

    Please, I'm at a loss to date.

    Hi all

    Seems that I myself have found a potential workaround.

    Install only the KB2871389 allowed me to grab the download of Windows the Windows store 8.1.

    Then, I could install Windows 8.1 without a hitch and it normally seems using Windows Updater runs from there on.

    It is not yet a waterproof solution to water / final of 100%, but it seems to work for me.

    I hope this will help someone else with the same problem!

    Greetings,

    Please read this.

    You can wait patiently (updates will appear later) or there is a problem in the article.

    You need to reinstall Windows for the fix. Your PC must be isolated from the network when reinstalling windows. You need to download both updates and install before connecting your PC to the network.

    I used the fix of Ed Bott and it works. But I reinstalled Win 7 again. I wasn't going to wait for hours and hours to get the security updates.

    You can try to install these updates on the problematic installation of Win 7:

    1. apply the Microsoft patch found here. Disconnect from the network.

    2. install the two updates in offline mode and cross your fingers.

    3. repeat on Windows Update.

    See you soon!

  • How to find out the Windows Update Agent version I am running

    Anyone know how I can find out which version of the Windows Update Agent I use?  I checked everything and no menu where only allows me to check the version.  This link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949104 tell me how to get the latest version, but it is not to tell me how do I know if I am running on the latest version.

    Ohanna Hello,

    Thank you for using the Microsoft answers Forums.

    Determine the current Version of WUA:

    Determine the version of Windows Update Agent (WUA) before using it. The current version of WUA is determined by the version of the c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll that runs in the current installation of Windows \System32 directory. If the c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll is version 5.4.3790.1000 or a later version, WUA is installed. A version earlier than 5.4.3790.1000 indicates that the Software Update Services (SUS) 1.0 is installed.

    When a call is made for SUS 1.0 using the API INTERFACE, an HRESULT of WU_E_AU_LEGACYSERVER is returned.

    You can also use the IWindowsUpdateAgentInfo::GetInfo method to retrieve the latest version of file of the c:\windows\system32\wuapi.dll that runs on a computer. The IWindowsUpdateAgentInfo interface is not supported in WUA 1.0.

    For more information, see update the Windows Update Agent.

    Thank you.

  • Copy of the Windows updates to other machines after downloading via WSUS.

    I am currently in the process of updating our domain details. It consists of 214 back-office machines and about 600 points of sale (cases). Each machine back-office has between 2 and 10 of the machines connected to it. All machines are currently under XP SP3. They all need to tinker with the latest critical and security updates. I have updated the 10 machines up to now. My problem is the time it takes for updates to download on the WSUS server.  Is there anyway I can download the updates of Windows to each machine in back-office on the site and then copy the Windows updates on all computers within that site.

    Thanks for any help you can give

    Quote: "the Windows Update forum is one of the three forums that doesn't have different forums for different versions of Windows (Internet Explorer and the game are the others)."  With this in mind, we ask that you postat LEAST the following information.  If you don't know how to find some of the information and then post what you can and let us know that you need help to find information.

    Minimum information to validate:
    Version of Windows and Service pack level. (Windows XP Home Edition, SP3; Vista Home Premium, SP1; Windows 7 Ultimate, etc...)
    Post also if you use 32-bit or the 64 bit version of Windows.

    Update the number of the last update installed before any problem.  If you do not know the number of update, then give the date that the update has been installed.  The number of updates update failed.

    Error code updates failed or if you think an update caused a blue screen, give the blue screen error codes.

    Other information to validate:
    Measures already taken to correct the problem and the results of the measures.

    If the question is never happened before with other updates.

    A few other useful parts are:
    What program antivirus you use, if it is up-to-date, and there has never been any other installed antivirus program.
    If your version of Windows has been upgraded from a previous version or if it came with (or clean installed with) the version you are currently using.
