For Win7, start with KB2775511. It's a hotfix rollup with major group policy processing, WMI, and performance fixes. It's a must have for Win7.

Our machines are currently all Windows 7 or 8.1(mostly 7). Our software update point currently has all classifications selected with 2 exceptions, Feature Packs and Tools. There are several WMI Hotfixes<http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2591403> available from Microsoft as well but these are not downloaded via the software update point. I wouldn't want to just deploy them all, I'd have to figure out which ones would apply to our problems.

Are you sure you're deploying all operating system patches, including non-security patches? There are WMI fixes out there for Windows 7, and you gotta be sure to deploy those. A lot of folks seem to deploy security patches only, but ignore reliability patches.

Everything from broken clients to WMI corruption to provisioning mode and on and on and on. We seem to see about 5% to 10% of our clients go dark as a rough estimate. My query to all of you is how are you dealing with these issues in your environment(if you have them)? We've been looking for a way to keep our clients functioning and compliant. I've developed a PowerShell based troubleshooter for our service team to use that runs through the typical tasks. I've recently started looking into the GPO based startup script<http://blog.configmgrftw.com/configmgr-client-startup-script/> as a proactive way to try and remediate issues. Thanks for any input or suggestions you may have, -Phil The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain CONFIDENTIAL material.
