[solved] Group policy preventing determination of OS

[FrankH]

Hi, hope someone can help me. Trying to use wsusoffline to update a Windows 7 Embedded system (Version 6.1 Build 7601 Service Pack 1). Upon starting the client updater, the CMD window shows me this:

Code: Select all

Starting WSUS Offline Update (v. 10.9) at  8:26:08,75...
Checking user's privileges...
Determining system's properties...
Dieses Programm wurde durch eine Gruppenrichtlinie geblockt. Wenden Sie sich an
den Systemadministrator, um weitere Informationen zu erhalten.

ERROR: Unsupported Operating System ( x64).

I've looked through the group policies on this system with gpedit, but couldn't find any policies that might be causing this. Unfortunately the wsusofflineupdate.log was not helpful:

Code: Select all

Anybody have any ideas which group policy setting might be preventing the relevant scripts from running properly?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Folks!

Just found the solution myself. Turns out that %TEMP% was set to D:\Temp, and there was a GPO preventing scripts from running on the D: drive. Got rid of that GPO, and now wsusoffline runs as it should.
