Ressetting SCCM agent if package failed to install

Resetting SCCM Agent if patch installation fails

October 26, 2013 Mike Erps Sysadmin, Windows

From time to time, a ticket will be created in regards to System Patches failing in an SCCM environment. To fix this, there are really only two major steps:

1. Rename the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder to SoftwareDistribution.old (stop Windows Update service before renaming, then restart the service).
2. Rename C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 to catroot2.old (stop the Cryptography service before renaming, then restart the service).

After this is done, run these actions from the configuration manager:

1. Discovery Data Collection Cycle
2. Software Updates Deployment Evaluation Cycle
3. Software Updates Scan Cycle

The procedure above has taken care of the issue pretty reliably. If the updates still don’t install properly, you may have to download the specific updates and install them manually.

How do I use Unetbootin to make a bootable Windows USB installer?

After I ran Unetbootin and isntalled Windows on it , whe I boot on PC it starts a countdown and nothing happens:

This Fix worked:

• Format your USB as FAT32 in GParted
• Open UNetbootin and get it as far as the stage where it brings up the USB partition to install to e.g. /dev/sdb1 - Don't install the ISO, though
• Leaving UNetbootin open as is, reopen GParted
• Format the USB in GParted as NTFS
• If GParted doesn't automatically add the "boot" flag, add it yourself
• Now, go back to UNetbootin, which you've left open in the meantime, and click OK

Doing so, UNetbootin will think you are using a FAT32 partition and will let you use NTFS format.
EDIT: at this point UNetbootin complained the USB device was unmounted. Keeping UNetbootin open I ran sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt. Then I hit "OK" on the still-open UNetbootin. It wrote the USB image to the USB.
