Try stopping the Windows Update service on the PC and deleting or renaming the c:\windows\softwaredistribution folder. Then start the service.

Well, I am puzzled to, problem is I don't have time to figure it out, I have to redeploy. It seems a few PC's had issues with some .Net updates, some office updates and we have an ERP app that uses both of these. We also use Nod32. I saw issues with the updates for several days, but was busy and didn't hear anyone complain. I planned to investigate why WSUS was saying they were failing asap. Today, everything is busted. I hadn't approved anything in a couple weeks, and I do approve on a VM first? I don't know WTF happened, LOL... hkc ________________________________ From: Eisenberg, Wayne [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2008 12:57 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: OMG WSUS Just tanked *EVERY* Desktop in my org!
