AutoUpdate time with EPO

If you look at the console on your own machine, you'll see that 'AutoUpdate' does not have '(managed)' in front of it. that's because it isn't actually managed from ePO - It's built-in to each local installation of VirusScan.

It's time can be changed by the local user, but there's a better way if you want to manage when updates occur from ePO....

Within the User Interface policies is a checkbox: 'Disable default Autoupdate task schedule'. if you check this box, when policies are applied, the local AutoUpdate task is disabled (it can't be removed from the list). However you must also setup your own update tasks, and schedule them.

(I suggest you do this first and make sure they are working before disabling the default AutoUpdate)

You can have greater control this way, so that (for example) you can check for DAT updates each hour, Engine updates (via a seperate task) each day, patches once a week and so on....

hope that helps.

Hi Verify first whether your system is affected by "TROJAN" or any other viruses
If "YES" Remove the smae by using "ANTIVIRUS" S/W (Preferably AVG !!)

Go to C:\Windows (O.K how to open C or C:\Windows is your questions ..Correct !! MAy be try to right click and use open with option..and select C:\Windows\Explorer.exe OR system may open show openwith window..click on browse and select c:\windows\explorer.exe)

Open REGEDIT file
Find "MOUNTPOINTS2" using Ctrl + F
Delete the same
Repeat the process unless all the "MOUNTPOINTS2" are deleted

Now your system will be OK. (reveied these inputs from thsi forum only)=Thanks to the member

Can't open drive d:\ with duoble click

c:\> attrib -r -s -h autorun.inf
c:\> del autorun.inf
d:\> attrib -r -s -h autorun.inf
d:\> del autorun.inf
restart the pc
And here's the best and easyest suggestion of what Manmeet wrote(it worked for me!):

1Open Start >> Run and type regsvr32 /i shell32.dll
2. press ok
3. You will see a message DllRegisterServer and DllInstall in shell32.dll succeeded
4. restart the pc

0x8024402C or 0x8024502D error

The 0x8024402C or 0x8024502D error codes typically occur because an incorrect character exists in the proxy override settings
To resolve these errors, remove characters from the proxy exception list, and then clear the proxy cache. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Open Internet Explorer.
2. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
3. Click the Connections tab, click LAN Settings, and then click Advance.
4. Delete any entry in the Exceptions section.
5. Quit Internet Explorer.
6. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
7. Type the following commands. Press ENTER after each command. • proxycfg -d
• net stop wuauserv
• net start wuauserv

Error 0x80080008

DnldMgr FATAL: DM:CBitsJob::SetCallbackHandler: SetNotifyInterface failed with 0x80080008.

"%Windir%\WindowsUpdate.log" shows - AU AU Restart required

Restart the service and forced update detection and the error is gone.

DnldMgr Download manager restoring 2 downloads
Agent * Succeeded to load 2 persisted download calls
DnldMgr Retrieved 2 persisted download jobs
DnldMgr * Restored download job.

The computer succesfully updated.

Error 0xC800021F

It looks like the client datastore failed to initialize.

1. Open a CMD prompt on the client.
2. Type "net stop wuauserv" (without quotes) .
3. Type "cd %Windir%\SoftwareDistribution".
4. Type "RD /s /q Datastore" (this will remove the client datastore).
5. Type "net start wuauserv" (without quotes) .
6. Type "wuauclt /detectnow" then check %Windir%\WindowsUpdate.log if it is successful.

OR, just stop the Automatic Updates Service and delete "%Windir%\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore" folder and start Automatic Updates Service and force the update detection (wuauclt /detectnow)

Error 0x80004002

You see the following errors in "%Windir%\WindowsUpdate.log".

FATAL: Failed to get session from datastore, error = 0x80004002
FATAL: Failed to Unserialize from data store, error = 0x80004002
WARNING: Exit code = 0x80004002
WARNING: InitAUComponents Failed, will restart AU in 30 mins, error = 0x80004002
DnldMgr FATAL: DM:CAgentDownloadManager::CheckAllCallDownloadStates: GetSession failed with 0x80004002.

1. If you have a proxy server -

Stop Automatic Update Service - "Net stop wuauserv".
Run the following command: "proxycfg.exe -u".
Start Automatic Update Service - "Net start wuauserv".
Force update detection and see if that works.
2. Re-create the Datastore -

Stop Automatic Update Service - "Net stop wuauserv".
Rename/delete "%Windir%\SoftwareDistribution" folder.
Start Automatic Update Service - "Net start wuauserv".
Force update detection and see if that works.
3. Try to force install WUA.

Download WUA WindowsUpdateAgent20-x86.exe from http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=43264.
and run the following command: "WindowsUpdateAgent20-x86.exe /wuforce".
