66 TopicsIn place update to build 22463 fails.
Hi I have build 20344.1 and tried to do an in place upgrade to the release eval build, but there is no option to keep files and settings (it is greyed out). I then tried to download build 22463 and carry out an in place upgrade to this build, which does have the option to keep files and setting. However when the update screen starts (blue screen with update progress) it fails immediately after few seconds, with a pop up that just says installation failed. Can anyone help with this? Thanks2.5KViews0likes13CommentsAutomatic Update fails - Task Sequence issue?
I have tried scheduling the WAC Update 1.3.2105.24004 via the website but it never happens. I then remoted onto the server and found the task Sequence it created. It is set to only run when user is logged on. My account is local admin on the server. - I manually ran the task sequence and it updated fine.1KViews0likes2CommentsBest Practice for Windows Server 2012 R2 and 2016 for 24/7 Operating Manufacturing System.
Hello, We have about 60 Windows 2012 R2 and 2016 servers for 24/7 operating manufacturing lines. These servers seem to have not updated at all since 2018, I have to plan how to update these servers as fast as I can but don't impact or break applications running on it. There are lots of old .Net developed applications and PLC software. Windows 2012 R2 server patch strategy: So, I liked to apply Security Only Updates to the server, but since the patch has only the month's security patches, I have to apply all security patches from 7/2016 which is almost impossible. So, I have to update the server with Monthly Rollup 3/2021 which has cumulative updates from 7/2016. Question 1. Microsoft says Monthly rollup contains other updates with security updates. Does it contain other updates such as Flash, .Net, and others which may break my old .Net applications installed on the server? I like to update the server up to date, but very least impact on the server. Question 2. For critical 24/7 operation servers, do you guys install Security Only Update or Monthly Rollup regularly? Windows 2016 server patch strategy: Microsoft seems they changed the update scheme and there's only Monthly Rollup. Question 3: If then, if you want to patch your server with the least risk, how do you patch your 2016 servers? Just apply Montly rollup and have you find any issue? Thank you in advance. Updates: I patched 30 Windows servers 2012R2/2016 with monthly rollups 1 week ago, no issue so far. -2012 R2: Feb 2021, 0.5GB, took 15 minutes -2016: Feb 2021, 1.5GB (You need to install the latest SSU (Servicing Stack update before applying monthly rollup), took 40 mintues. As I researched, Monthly rollup contains reliability update besides security update, but not .net or other application related updates, so it's quite safe that it will not break existing application states. I had lots of issues the windows update breaking applications with Windows 7/2008, but Microsoft seems doing quite well on making monthly rollup is stable. For .net, it has its own update history and separate channel.Solved3.3KViews0likes4CommentsIn-place build upgrade failure and workaround
I have noticed that, since the first build the new Microsoft Edge was bundled with Windows Server vNext, I could not upgrade from one weekly build to the next without re-installing from scratch. I could upgrade from an older build that did not include Edge to a newer one that did, but not from one with Edge to anther with Edge. I tought that Edge was the culprit, but I could not uninstall it through the regular means, for I have wound a guide to forcly uninstall it via command line. It was uninstalled, but Windows upgrade to the new build failed again. Then, I tought that enabling Network Sharing was the culprit. So, did a fresh install once again, but kept it disabled, as out of the box. The latest build came, it failed in-place upgrade, but at an earlier stage. Yet, Edge was updated after the fresh installation a few days ago and it was removable through Control Panel or Settings. So I did uninstall it, then tried an in-place upgrade and it worked. It had reinstalled Edge. So, I guess the update/upgrade system for the Chromium Edge between Windows builds (that upgrade like previous redstones, through a Windows re-install mechanism with documents, settings and programs being kept) it is not fully developed. Edge updates on a different way then the OS itself, in a way enherited from the Chromium browser, it is not fully integrated into Windows yet, altough I have looked via 7zip and the Windows Install.wim file contains it. Probably, due to that, especially when the installed version of the Chromium Edge browser is updated beyong what is in the install.wim, issues can appear. I guess that, if the update/upgrade mechanism for Edge in Windows it is not solved, that Edge should not be bundled with Windows until that, while still being available for users via the Microsoft Edge msi installer for Enterprise. A workaround, so far, seems to be uninstalling it before an in-place build upgrade..2.8KViews1like5CommentsCookieless browsing broken after update KB4580979
Upon running Windows Update KB4580979, .Net 4.7.2 projects that have the SessionStateSection.Cookiless Property set to AutoDetect no longer functions as expected. Previously, a browser that blocked cookies would be redirected to the same page with the querystring /default.aspx?AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1 and upon the system detecting that cookies were not supported it would redirect again to a cookiless session URL e.g. /(X(1)S(adl04pietheradyfawfaqlym))/default.aspx?AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1 Since the update, a browser would continously be redirected to /default.aspx?AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1 until the redirects exceeded the maximum redirects. Relevant Web.config section: <configuration> <system.web> <sessionState cookieless="AutoDetect" /> </system.web> </configuration> Windows Server 2019 DataCenter Version 1809 OS Build 17763.13695.1KViews2likes4CommentsWindows Server 2019 - Upgrade of certain packages fails - Repair fails as well

I'm using a WINDOWS 2008R2 STD as a VPN (PPTP remote access server) server. The clients are connect to the shared folder (SMB1.0) in internal network via WIN 2008 server with PPTP. Today morning, I found that every clients are can not access to the shared folder on the internal network. The clients were assigned internal IP correctly. And, the shared folders were could access at Windows 2008 server. Ping from internal server to the client was available. But, could not access to the shared folder on the internal network. I found KB4524157 had installed during the weekend. After remove the KB4524157, The access became normal. So, I removed KB4524157 temporally now. May I have advice about this?
