I gave users permissions to login to the Server but it still didn’t work. After trying out for a while I found out the solution.
Login to the Server as Admin:
1. gpedit.msc (Local Group Policy)
2. Computer Configuration/Security Settings/Local Policies/User Rights Assignment
3. Allow log on trough Terminal Serives you need to add your group or users
Warning: This should normally not be done and could be a security risk!
Installation
1. Download it from http://www.microsoft.com/wsus
2. Make sure following roles are installed on the Server:
- MS Internet Information Server 7
- — ASP.NET
- — 6.0 Management Compatibility
- — IIS Metabase Compatibility
- — Windows Authentication
And install Microsoft Report Viewer Redistributable 2005
[http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=70410]
3. Run the downloaded setup and follow the wizard
Configure WSUS so Computer are assigned via GPO
1. Open WSUS Console
2. Go to Computer/All Computers and create there a new Computer Group
3. Go to Options/Computers and choose “Use Group Policy or registry settings on computers.”
4. Open Group Policy Management Console
5. Create a New Group Policy and Link it to the right OU
6. WSUS Settings you will find in: Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update
7. Enable “intranet Microsoft update service location”
Intranet Update Service: http://yourwsusserver/
Intranet Statistics Server: http://yourwsusserver/
8. Enable “Client Side Targeting”
Target Group: Computer Group you created in WSUS (See step 3)
9. Check the other useful settings like Configure Automatic Updates and No Auto-Restart with logged on users
10. Restart one of the client computers and check if they are in WSUS Console listed in your new created computer group.
The easiest way to find out if the group policy is applied and really changed the right settings you can check it in registry.
Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate
Today I had to add a second virtual network in VMWare. Unfortunately I didn’t find any option first. To do this you need to actually power off the VMWare Host. Then go the settings of the VMWare Host. Click on Add Ethernet Card and confirm everything. Startup OS again.
If you are searching for a good domain name www.bustaname.com is quite useful. It is by the way the tool I which helped me to find this domain name here;-)
And the winner is?
myspace.com facebook.com orkut.com hi5.com friendster.com
I think most people won’t be surprised that it is Facebook. Myspace is starting to loose users now and many of them you will find in Facebook again. Myspace is more open and used by artists and musicians who are looking for a platform to promote themselves. In the other hand Facebook is used by more individuals or private users who want to keep in touch. Facebook really did a couple of smart moves like one of supporting an API so that developer can build applications and integrate it into the platform. The design can be seen as a little bit boring because there are not many adjustments possible in the current version. Myspace instead can be ‘pimped’ but it is most of the time just overloaded.
