As I was browsing my blog looking for a fix something I had encountered a long time ago, I noticed I had never posted the popular "re-registration" fix for ITMU failures. So, here it is, along with a zipped attachment in case people want to download it.

cd %windir%\system32
regsvr32 wuapi.dll /s
regsvr32 wuaueng.dll /s
regsvr32 wuaueng1.dll /s
regsvr32 wucltui.dll /s
regsvr32 wups.dll /s
regsvr32 wups2.dll /s
regsvr32 wuweb.dll /s
net stop wuauserv
net stop bits
rmdir /S /Q %windir%\softwaredistribution
net start wuauserv
net start bits
exit /B 0

On thing I've done differently with ours is integrate a fix listed by Microsoft which solves some Windows Update problems. The additional line to be added before the exit command is: (this is all in one line - forgive line breaks if present)

sc sdset wuauserv D:(A;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;SY)(A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;BA)(A;;CCLCSWLOCRRC;;;AU)(A;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;PU)

It is an adjustment to a security setting according to the KB article, which I can't seem to find anymore - but like all good tech pack rats, I've kept the commands in a handy file.

* MS09-003 - Critical

 - http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms09-003.mspx

 - Reason for Revision: V2.0 (February 16, 2009): Added the

    Microsoft Exchange Server MAPI Client as affected software.

    Also, added several entries to the section, Frequently Asked

    Questions (FAQ) Related to This Security Update, relating to

    updating the MAPI Client and the Exchange System Management

    tools. No other update packages are affected by this

    re-release. Customers running all other supported and

    already successfully applied the original security update

    packages do not need to take any further action.

Application Title: Unified Call Manager Attendant Console

Version: 5.1 (3)

Silent installation switch: /quiet

For those of you operating in a lock-down environment, this application will not run without either administrative rights or opening up certain folder structures and registry trees. Considering it has such a small footprint and is quick to re-advertise, I took the easy route and opened up both, instead of operating in a more granular fashion.

Folder structure to open: %ProgramFiles%\Cisco\Unified CallManager Attendant Console

Registry tree to open: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cisco Systems, Inc.\AttendantConsole
