You should create this on your own to be certain you have these very
important settings configured properly.

Modify the registry on a test system.  Verify that it is working
appropriately by testing WU/AU on it.  If you are successful in
blocking the update, export the registry settings to a .REG file and
use the REG2ADM.EXE utility to convert the settings into a .ADM
administrative template file.

Just got this Blue Screen on a Thinkpad T60p after installing SP3:

STOP: c139 {Entry Point Not Found} The procedure entry point
GdiGetBitmapBitSize could not be located in the dynamic link library
GDI32.dll.

 

Solution:

1. boot from a Windows CD and go for the repair option.

2. Copy gdi32.dll from c:\windows\servicepackfiles\i386\gdi32.dll to
c:\windows\system32\gdi32.dll. 

3. Reboot normally

Has anyone seen issues with SP3 coming through WSUS?  I have it listed
there now, but the approval is Detect Only at the moment.  Would like to
know how that avenue went/is going for some others before I approve the
update.

[Micheal Espinola Jr]

you certainly will need administrative privs to modify this setting.
it is the same setting that the tool that Sam referenced modifies.

Re: WinXpSP3 from Windows Updates

[Steven Peck]

It's one of mine too.  On the plus side, I solved the XP sp3 problem
by migrating the last of the family systems I support to Vista.  Don't

Do I need admin permissions to add this registry entry
when run from the logon script or any user could add
it?

Yes, via a registry hack:

Registry location:

  HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate

Key DWORD value name:

  DoNotAllowSP

Values:

  1 = WU/MU/AU delivery is disabled
  anything else =  delivery is enabled

RE: WinXpSP3 from Windows Updates

[Terry Dickson]

I have had some random printer problems with the second round of
machines I installed SP3 on.  On one networked printer somehow it
changed the printer defaults to letterhead, manual feed.  Another user
had problems printing from an application after checking on it the
application was trying to print to file, not to the printer.  However
that could have been a SIP(Self Inflicted Problem).

RE: WinXpSP3 from Windows Updates

[Amer Karim]

>From 

http://msinfluentials.com/blogs/jesper/archive/2008/05/08/does-your-amd-base
d-computer-boot-after-installing-xp-sp3.aspx

 

"The problem is that HP, and possibly other OEMs, deploy the same image to
Intel-based desktops that they do to AMD-based desktops. It also appears
that this is unique to their desktop image, and any HP AMD-based laptops are
unaffected by the problem. Because the image for both Intel and AMD is the
same all have the intelppm.sys driver installed and running. That driver
provides power management on Intel-based computers. On an AMD-based
computer, amdk8.sys provides the same functionality. Microsoft points out in
a <http://support.microsoft.com/kb/888372>  Knowledge Base article that
installing both drivers on the same computer is an unsupported
configuration, putting the blame on the OEM that deploys the image. The
article in question <http://support.microsoft.com/kb/888372>  was written
when the same problem occurred after installing Service Pack 2 for Windows
XP. 

Ordinarily, having intelppm.sys running on an AMD-based computer appears to
cause no problems. However, on the first reboot after a service pack
installation, it causes a big problem. The computer either fails to boot, as
in my case, or crashes with a STOP error code of 0x007e. If you see that
error code you almost certainly have this problem. The computer will boot
into safe mode because the drivers are disabled there. Please note here that
simply having the intelppm.sys file on your computer is not the problem so
searching for it in the Windows directory is not relevant. It must be
running to cause a problem."

Had a couple family members call last night about SP3 killing their
machines.

They use Windows Updates nightly and when they rebooted their machine it
wouldn't come up.

After many SafeMode boots I called TechSupport and they told me there is an
issue with the WindowsUpdate

version of SP3 and to have it blocked from being downloaded on any other
machine until it is resolved.

They seemed to know all about it because they stepped me through the correct
SafeMode fix for it.

 

Didn't know what anybody else knew.

 

Good night.

Had a couple family members call last night about SP3 killing their
machines.

They use Windows Updates nightly and when they rebooted their machine it
wouldn't come up.

After many SafeMode boots I called TechSupport and they told me there is
an issue with the WindowsUpdate

version of SP3 and to have it blocked from being downloaded on any other
machine until it is resolved.

They seemed to know all about it because they stepped me through the
correct SafeMode fix for it.

 

Didn't know what anybody else knew.

 

Good night.

 YMMV - especially considering the other posts in this thread.

Had a couple family members call last night about SP3 killing their
machines.

They use Windows Updates nightly and when they rebooted their machine

it

wouldn't come up.

After many SafeMode boots I called TechSupport and they told me there

is an

issue with the WindowsUpdate

version of SP3 and to have it blocked from being downloaded on any

other

machine until it is resolved.

They seemed to know all about it because they stepped me through the

correct

SafeMode fix for it.



Didn't know what anybody else knew.



Good night.



















IT works,
but keeping IT working is the hard part.



Automation is great,
until it breaks.

Re: WinXpSP3 from Windows Updates

[Micheal Espinola Jr]

Could you describe in greater detail how these systems, "wouldn't come up" ?

The only thing I have noticed with SP3 and other service packs, is
that there tends to be pre as well as post-login processes that occur
*without* any visual queues or information/dialogue boxes to let you
know whats happening.

In those cases, I have seen it take anywhere from 3-30 minutes to
complete depending on the power of the system as well as the
fragmentation of the HD.

The key to this is checking for hard drive activity.  Not waiting, and
rebooting the system to try to "fix" the issue can very likely cause
the system to become non-bootable.

I have had a long and hard (queue the cracks) road up hill both ways
trying to educate my users about this - as they tend to be
self-medicating with rebooting prior to informing me of an issue.

Their kindness to try to not bother me is both a blessing and a curse.

I rolled it out on a couple of pcs at the office as a last ditch effort with
some .net35 issues and it actually worked and fixed my .net issue, yeah me!

For those who want to hold off for a while, this blocking tool from
Microsoft 
works well:

Download details: Windows Service Pack Blocker Tool Kit
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=D7C9A07A-5267-
4BD6-87D0-E2A72099EDB7
or here if the above wraps unusably: http://preview.tinyurl.com/4t3lql

It contains a batch-file, an executable program, and an ADM template.

I saw an interesting write-up on problems with SP3 and AMD-processor
machines 
with OEM install images here:

  Windows XP Service Pack 3 endless reboots
  Posted by woody on 08 May 2008 - 17:47:16 Windows Patches/Security
  
Do you have an HP computer with an AMD processor?

If so, and you have Windows XP's Automatic Updates turned on, you may be

in for an unpleasant surprise.  

Long-time Microsoft observer and MVP Jesper Johansson got bit:  

"Last night WSUS deployed XP Service Pack 3 to the sole remaining 
computer running XP that I have. This morning, I came down and was 
greeted with incessant reboots. The computer booted, apologized for 
not being able to boot properly, asked if I wanted to boot into safe 
mode, defaulted to normal boot, rebooted, and so on and so on.  

It would boot into safe mode fine, so I did that. Not knowing what it 
was, I ran a disk check, which turned out to be a real mistake. Once 
I configured the computer to run a disk check at startup it would not 
even boot into safe mode.  

Fortunately, I know Bill Castner, another Microsoft MVP, and he 
pointed me to a solution. It turns out that this computer is running 
an OEM OS image from HP. HP, apparently along other OEMs, deploy the 
same image to Intel-based computers that they do to AMD-based 
computers. That means they all have the intelppm.sys driver installed 
and running. That driver provides power management on Intel-based 
computers. On an AMD-based computer, amdk8.sys provides the same 
functionality.  

Ordinarily, having intelppm.sys running appears to cause no problems. 
However, on the first reboot after a service pack installation, it 
causes a big problem. The computer either fails to boot, as in my 
case, or crashes with a STOP error code of 0x007e. It will boot 
into safe mode because the drivers are disabled there.    

http://www.askwoody.com/newscomments.php?newsid=2087  

I checked and my Lenovo running an AMD Athlon 64 X2 does NOT have amdk8.sys,
it  
has the intelppm.sys driver.  I have NOT applied SP3 to this box, but on my 
lone SP3 test box, which has a Celeron processor, SP3 applied fine.

Subject: WinXpSP3 from Windows Updates

Had a couple family members call last night about SP3 killing their machines.
They use Windows Updates nightly and when they rebooted their machine it 
wouldn't come up.
After many SafeMode boots I called TechSupport and they told me there is an 
issue with the WindowsUpdate
version of SP3 and to have it blocked from being downloaded on any other 
machine until it is resolved.
They seemed to know all about it because they stepped me through the correct 
SafeMode fix for it.

Didn't know what anybody else knew.

Good night.









IT works,
but keeping IT working is the hard part.

Automation is great,
