Hi
I have been using this tool to download and install updates on standalone systems earlier, but those systems had standard Windows local group policy settings. This tool worked as it has been designed to and I was very happy with it.
But now I have hardened images of Windows 7 and Windows 10, based on industry standard CIS Benchmarks. These benchmarks essentially give recommendations for changing default settings on the local group policy to recommended "more secure" settings. This tool now does not work on it as intended on the secure image. Reference: https://www.cisecurity.org/cis-benchmarks/
The behavior of the tool with secure configurations is as follows:
- As I run the update installer on my target system, it starts the command prompt for installing updates, installs 1/2 updates and then heads for a reboot
- upon reboot, it logs into the WOUTemp account and just stays there. No scripts run, nothing happens, it's just idle
- I then have to log out of the WOUTemp account, do the CleanupRecall and start the whole process again
- even upon doing so, it takes multiple passes before I can get the tool to install the entire update package
Can someone please help me identify what could possibly be causing this issue??
Thanks!!
