windows update sucks with XP Corp. Ed.

[Vincent Haakmat [393242]]

We have an XP Corp Ed. License. However whenever microsoft sends security
updates, it kills my printing. I constantly have to roll back the security
updates. So it doesn't work for us. Is MS aware of this??

Vincent;
Do you mean Volume License? Since there is no such thing as "XP Corp
Ed"
In any event, that is not normally an issue with the volume license
version.
Did you try updating to the latest printer driver instead of removing
the security updates?

 

[Carey Frisch [MVP]]

Microsoft is aware that there is no such version of
Windows XP it sells called "XP Corp Ed.". The only
"XP Corp Ed" version of XP is a known "pirated version"
that will not work properly with Windows Update.

Yes I mean VL... The printers (HP LaserJet 4000) are set up asshared on a
windows2003 server, so the drivers are pretty up to date. HP does not update
their drivers easilty ones they're included in Windows

Who the heck to I need to report this anomaly too... we spend $$$$$$ on this
250 user license!!!!!!!!!

If you were truly worried about security updates, you wouldn't have gone with Windows in the first place.

Then give us some real information to work with.

What security updates break what about the printing?

Vincent - is you company a "managed account" - by that I mean do you have a
Microsoft account manager associated with your company/account ?

If not and you wish to log a bug or go through the regular support channels
that see support.microsoft.com for details of free and paid for support
options available to you.

I have a small company running 15 WinXP Pro with corporate licenses, and
have never had a single problem with any updates. Maybe it's just the
particular printer - is it only that printer, and do ALL PCs running XP VL
have the problem?

 

[Jupiter Jones [MVP]]

Vincent;
Contact HP, do they have any issues with that particular printer and
windows Server 2003?

Since that particular issue seems unique to you, there is likely
something amiss with your hardware or software configuration.
Have you tried other printers?
Try temporarily connecting the printer to another computer.

Spoken like a true "cracker"... looks like a script kiddie to me...

 

[Vincent Haakmat]

yes, but the ones with winXP Pro not... so I think we may have a cracked
version of XP... I am trying to get this SOB that sold us this piece of
sh... license

No. Just those that have IQs above single digits. Everybody else is a
cuss-tomer (aka "mark").

Good place to start.

yeah... So now I can't even trust these "official MS Partners" anymore...
what is this windows world coming to?... MS needs to start screening its
partners better

I have no particular problems with it myself. I am knowledgable enough to disable all of the unneeded services that are enabled by default and put myself behind both hardware and software firewalls

Too much is enabled by default and most users don't know how to correct that. Ask the average user what services they are running on their machine and your most popular response will either be "windows!" or "uh...aol?". Not to mention the number of vulnerabilities that shouldn't even be a factor. why the hell is DCOM accessable from the net? My god you guys got lucky with Blaster. An exploit that shouldn't exist gives full admin access to the machine. He could rename user accounts...delete user accounts...do whatever he wants to ruin a half a million machines. And what does it end up being used for? A half-assed, horribly moronic excuse for an attempted DoS attack on "windowsupdate.com". kid used stolen code for most of the worm, and didn't even bother to put in the actual URL of windows update. even then...as fast as that was spread there shouldn't have been a multi-day delay in the attack

I'm a conspiracy theorist. I think someone at MS found the code, knew the damage potential it had, and released an essentailly harmless worm. Well, harmless aside from the fact that is broke RPC - which it wasn't intended to do, the code just sucked

report it to microsoft and scary men with suits will show up at the place that sold you the license...
