Request concerning the sequence of updates for the Windows Update client in 2015

I posted a query similar to this on a Microsoft Technet forum, but I have not yet received a response to the specific question that I asked.  I'm trying so this forum.

I am running Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, but I did not intend to accept the free update of Windows 10.  I don't use automatic updates.  I use Windows Update manually and select the updates to install, even for these updates identified as Important.

Since April 2015, there was a sequence of updates for the client Windows Update on Windows 7 (Windows 8).  I have the Windows 7 of those below list:

KB2990214 (April 2015)

KB3050265 (June 2015)

KB3065987 (July 2015)

KB3075851 (August 2015)

KB3083324 (September 2015)

KB3083710 (October 2015)

KB3102810 (November 2015)

KB3112343 (December 2015)

(This list is probably less intimidating than it looks because the replaced October update Update September, which replaced the August update, which replaced the July update, which replaced the June updated.  "There are therefore basically just 4 updates.)

The big question is, given that Windows 7 is available for several years, why, all of a sudden, there was this sequence of updates for the Windows Update client?  Because these updates began to occur at the time when the offer of a free upgrade to Windows 10 was announced, I could be forgiven for thinking that all of these updates are really directed towards the relaxation of the upgrade to Windows 10 via Windows Update, and that there is little or no advantage to systems that are not upgrading.  I am mistaken in this belief?  If not, precisely those who will benefit from my system, even if it is not upgraded to Windows 10?

The updates that I currently installed, depending on the installed updates, are KB2990214 (April 2015), KB3075851 (August 2015), KB3083324 (September 2015) and KB3083710 (October 2015).

In my view, there was a lack of transparency in the descriptions of these updates in the KB articles.  And, in one or two cases, information on the importance of an update in the article and in Windows Update has been inconsistent.  It would have been much clearer if each KB article stated for NOT upgrading to Windows 10 systems, if the update to the Windows Update client is important, as an option or completely irrelevant.

  • Why the Windows Vista client gets the IP address of the Windows SBS 2011 as default DNS server?

    I use Windows Vista on a client computer that is connected to our Windows Server SBS 2011 server. I don't want to use the DNS server on the local server and the DNS addresses are automatically collected on our router. Every time I have to restart my computer or disconnect / reconnect the connection to the local network, the default DNS server address is set back to static and has the IP address of the local server, which makes it much slower DNS specifications.

    Can I disable this automatic update of address of DNS server somehow? In fact, I don't want to run a DNS server on the local server.

    Thank you to inform in advance!

  • How have the Linux database server listener listen to the service in the Net of Windows XP Client Manager?

    People,

    Hello. I installed Oracle 11 GR 2 database server in the Oracle Linux 5 operating system.
    All customers (NetCA, DBCA, GROUND Deveoper, sqlplus...) works properly on the database server. The LISTENER_PT853 listener is listening on client tools under Linux successfully.


    I also installed Oracle database Client(SQL Developer, NetMgr, NetCA, sqlplus,...) in Windows XP. So that the client tools to connect to the database on Linux server, the listener in Linux must be tuned to the service in Windows XP.

    In Oracle Linux 5 Server Machine Net Manager:

    Service name: PT853
    Connection type: default database
    "TCP/IP Protocol".
    Host name: 192.168.196.102
    Port: 1521


    Listener: LISTENER_PT853
    Protocol: TCP/IP
    Host: 192.168.196.102
    Port: 1521


    I have test the Service PT853 with "SYS" username and password "SYS." The connection is successful.

    In the Windows XP Client computer, the information in the Net Manager is lower at:


    Service name: PT853_Linux
    Protocol: TCP/IP
    The host of the database Machine name: 192.168.196.102
    Port: 1521


    I test the connection by using "SYS" username and password "SYS" and got this error: ORA - 12514:TNS: listener does not currently of service requested in connect descriptor. There may be an error in the input fields or server may be ready to connect.


    Can I check the status of the listener in Linux Server machine as below:

    [user@localhost bin] $. / lsnrctl status LISTENER_PT853

    Its release: Service PT853 has 1 instance. PT853 of the Forum, State LOAN, has 1 handler for this service.


    Foregoing, we saw the listener in the Linux server machine only to listen to the PT853 service in Linux but not to listen to the service PT853_linux of the Windows XP client computer.

    Windows XP (192.168.196.101) and Linux (192.168.196.102) can ping each other successfully. So that client tools in Windows XP connection in Server database on Linux, the listener in Linux need to listen to on the service in Windows XP first.

    In Net Linux Manager, I add an address more (TCP/IP, 192.168.196.101, PORT 1521) to LISTENER_PT853, but gets the error.


    My question is:

    How have the Linux database server listener listen to the service in the Net of Windows XP Client Manager?


    Thanks in advance.

    Hi you ave create listener.ora.

    Actually, no he didn't "need to create listner.ora.

    In fact, its problems stem from the fact that it * has * created one instead of letting some things by default.

    I give an example of my environment

    [oracle@home ~] $ cd /home/oracle/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/network/admin/

    [oracle@home admin] $ cat listener.ora

    listener.ora # Network Configuration file: /home/oracle/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/network/admin/listener.ora

    # Generated by Oracle configuration tools.

    LISTENER =

    (DESCRIPTION =

    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP (PORT = 1522))(HOST = home.test.al))

    (CONNECT_DATA =

    (SERVER = DEDICATED)

    (SERVICE_NAME = orcl.test.al)

    )

    )

    ADR_BASE_LISTENER = / home/oracle/app/oracle

    [oracle@home admin] $

    Change host, name of service depending on your environment. Your port is 1521.

    Then, first run all the listener and database startup. If you do the opposite, with that you will need to register the service change the order of system registry.

    Let me now if you need another sth

  • Create a virtual computer model using the Windows Client (c#) function?


    The windows-based client can create VM templates?  I created a VM Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard and I would use it as a model for all the virtual machines that follow.  However, I have not yet created the vCenter Server VM but want to use the W2012R2 virtual machine as its base.  I don't see how with the customer I have.  Can if not a model, I simply duplicate the VM?  I don't want to use this machine virtual first for vCenter Server and then create a new one from scratch for use as a model.

    To create templates and clone virtual machines, you will need vcenter server in place, but you can use alternative means to clone this virtual machine to use as a basis for vCenter, take a look at this blog post: cloning a virtual machine without vCenter in ESXi free edition 5.1 | Curiosity killed the cat

  • Update code A 80071, 90, also the message cannot install update for microsoft windows KB978262 ActiveX stop bits

    I have many facilities update unresolved that failed, of which several have been labeled 'critical' is it possible that these updates were for windows 7 instead of my program which is the version of microsoft windows vista 6.0 over a few more numbers after that.

    Try to download and install manually by download on your desktop and install them one by one. Insert the number of KB to get updates on the right and choose the one corresponding to your version of Vista: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx.  It is not possible for Windows Update in order to send updates for the wrong operating system (but I can't go further and say that it is impossible, even if I never heard talk of such a thing).

    If this does not work, try a boot minimum http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135 and then make the facilities.  If the problem goes away then it's just a matter of tracking down the culprit at the origin of the problem.   Follow the procedures described in the article.  Once found, remove, delete, disable or uninstall.  Once remember to put Vista in normal status, as described in the procedures. If the problem occurs in clean mode then just restore the system to normal and reboot - this solution will not work.

    Also read and execute the steps ofhttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058.

    Often we see odd behavior as the result of a program from loading at startup.

    To solve these, we use the clean boot troubleshooting.

  • I've updated to 40 for Mac and still continue to get the window telling me to update to 40.

    The window opens whenever I open Firefox and at random intervals. It is annoying to have to keep close. I've updated either through pop, the window and "about Firefox" more than 4 times and the pop up still continues to be. "About Firefox" it's of 40.0.

    39.0 Firefox is still the current version on www.mozilla.org/firefox/all since July 2.

    40.0 Firefox is always on the Beta channel with 40.0b6 being the recent version. There may be six to twelve that Beta builds for a version on beta channel.
