WSUSOU stuck in reboot cycle, now won't boot

Postby jonnycat » 09.09.2014, 01:15

Hello all, I attempted to use WSUSOU on my WinXP machine, but it kept rebooting/recycling. I ended up interrupting the cycle and deleting the "WU temp admin" account, but now the machine shows an error message for a brief split-second, which is then hidden by the "Windows is starting up" screen.

At this point I basically am going to need to use a utility of some sort to boot into the machine and delete whatever pointer is telling the machine to use the non-existent account, but I don't know enough about WSUSOU to know how this is done.

What do I need to remove/modify to have the machine stop trying to boot into the "WU temp admin" account?

Thanks for any suggestions.

How did you delete the WOUTempAdmin?
Using the script DeleteUpdateAdmin.vbs?

I just deleted the user.

I ended up figuring this one out earlier, there were a couple of registry keys I reset to 0, including the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AutoAdminLogon and another one in that same hive.

Please run .\client\cmd\CleanupRecall.cmd with administrativ rights and reboot the computer.
