RE: [NTSysADM] Random reboots Win7 and 10

Thanks Susan, we definitely saw that and also saw that they are putting out the fix in the February updates and since that fix isn't in the catalog and cant be imported into WSUS we decided to just remove the offending patch until the February updates. Would setting the update approval to

RE: [NTSysADM] Random reboots Win7 and 10

Ok so I use solarwinds patch manager and we recently found that KB4011626 causing problems with Outlook 2016 not including attachments when forwarding. I THINK the reboots are because I set the approval for that patch to uninstall. Why its rebooting every day now and only on some machines I

Apologies, you are right. I was wrong and stand corrected. For some reason I missed the 2 minute warning verbiage when I was reading the original email text. Matt Hebbel (563) 528-2667 Sent from a mobile device. Please excuse brevity and misspellings. From:

Re: [NTSysADM] Random reboots Win7 and 10

On workstations the registry keys to enable the patch are on by default.  That patch is just a exe of the registry keys to undo the patch.  Also that patch doesn't kick a reboot. The reboot behavior of the buggy microcode is just that... the systems spontaneously

Re: [NTSysADM] Random reboots Win7 and 10

Right, I should have extended my thinking a bit. The way I read those release notes from MS was that a different, older, version of microcode from one of the chip manufacturers was causing unexpected reboots and other unstable behavior, which prompted the release from MS based on their internal

Doesn't kick a reboot, has to be downloaded from the catalog. That "reads" like a script somewhere. On 1/31/2018 10:20 AM, Matt Hebbel wrote: Not sure where you are within your

Once upon a time I worked with another engineer that did not like to stay put in his chair we eventually caught on that he was using PSEXEC to remotely run commands to make weird stuff happen so he could leave the office. Not saying that’s what’s happening but u mentioned that a domain admin

Re: [NTSysADM] OT - IP/Cloud Phones

My company made the jump from on-prem pbx to a hosted voip platform around 2008 or so. That was about a year before I joined, so I can't speak to the research that went into it or comparisons with other providers (and they likely wouldn't be relevant 9 years later), but we've stayed with the same

What are the events prior to the reboot event? Wild guess, WSUS or schedule tasks. On Jan 31, 2018 10:03 AM, "Sean Chapman" wrote: > Hey all, > > Been going crazy today trying to find out why a lot of our PCs are > rebooting on people with a 2 minute warning. It seems

[NTSysADM] Random reboots Win7 and 10

Hey all, Been going crazy today trying to find out why a lot of our PCs are rebooting on people with a 2 minute warning. It seems like it should be easy to track down but I cant find anything solid on whats causing it. This has happened for some users 2 days in a row now. Event viewer shows

It's been nearly 2 years since I was involved in an aborted jump to Jive. I believe that they had looked at 8x8, Nextiva and Fuze, too. I came into my current position in the middle of the transition working with my now predecessor in the IT Manager roll for a 40-50 person CPA firm with two

Re: [NTSysADM] OT - IP/Cloud Phones

This is on-topic, so I'm going to keep it on list. The answer is - it depends. Do you have a complete understanding of how your current system is used? Do you need complex hunt groups/work groups/IVR trees, and/or use lots of voicemail? Do you use your current system for paging, either through

Re: [NTSysADM] Advice: migrate to new file server

I don't ask permission, I notify the users and I take ownership and grant Administrators permissions, and make sure permissions are inherited. Once that's done, I offer to work with them to get the permissions rational. Normally that means moving subdirectories up the tree so that breaking

Re: [NTSysADM] Advice: migrate to new file server

This happens almost every time. Someone who doesn't know what they're doing has the right to change permissions and they don't include Administrators. Usually the next issue I find is that when I try to take ownership and reset perms, there are stragglers, sometimes lots of them. It's good that

Re: [NTSysADM] Advice: migrate to new file server

Oh, the joys of special permissions on sub-folders ... Good thing I did an initial run using the /CREATE switch (thanks for that!). Found a number of errors, couldn't access destination folder. Checking the source folder permissions, I see that these have been set manually - not inherited,
