Windows Update showed I was behind on about a dozen or so, so I selected them all, and everyone of them failed.
My next step is to try re-installing the Service Pack, as you suggest - have to wait until early tomorrow when the users are off Cheers Bud Dawson Local 2132 Windows System Administrator, MCSE 2000 [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment. - Will Rogers -----Original Message----- From: Ghassan Hassan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: August 7, 2003 2:13 PM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: RE: Cannot install RPC Buffer Overrun Hotfix on Windws NT4 Domai n Co ntroller Can you install other security updates or is this the only one giving you problems?

The install starts okay, then I get: "Setup Error - The Operation completed successully" I press OK, then I get: "Setup Error - Windows NT 4.0 Hotfix installation did not complete" Has anybody seen this error before ? The Event Viewer shows a Warning in the Application Log as: source: WindowsUpdateV3; Category: None; Event ID: 16389; text as follows: "The description for Event ID ( 16389 ) in Source ( WindowsUpdateV3 ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: V3_2|6133|INSTALL|Security Update Windows NT4 (823980)|1,10,101,0|2003-08-07 07:45:10|1|FAIL|0x80004005|Unspecified error|." I don't know what the "/AUXSOURCE= flag " is, nor do I know what the "Unspecified error" is. I've searched Technet for 16389 and 0x80004005 but found nothing relevant I checked http://www.eventid.net for 16389 and found some info, but nothing that solved the problem This box does not run IIS or SQL (the products most often mentioned in the sources noted above), but it is an NT 4.0 BDC. The light at the end of the tunnel is about to go out !! Any suggestions will be GREATLY appreciated Cheers Bud Dawson Windows System Administrator, MCSE 2000 [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment. - Will Rogers ------ You are subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=nt2000&text_mode=&lang=e nglish To unsubscribe send a blank email to %%email.unsub%% ------ You are subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=nt2000&text_mode=&lang=e nglish To unsubscribe send a blank email to %%email.unsub%% ------ You are subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=nt2000&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
