Re: Cancel Software and Service Pack Installations ?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi,

I have just added a computer to my SBS domain but I have a problem.
Indeed, I am currently on a test environment and my Xp client doesn't have enough free space on the hard drive to install the service pack 2 of Windows XP.

Great news ! Because thanks to this, I am searching for the way to cancel the installation of this setting except by clicking on Postpone every time a user is opening a session ! :D

Moreover do you know if there are some log files available that show me the installation state of an application ?

Thank you ! :)

Found ? :D

I dont know if it is a clean method but I renamed the folder named like my computername in c:\progfiles\Microsoft Windows Small Business Server\ClientSetup\Clients.

Please let me know if this method is clean ! :D

Moreover, the apps logfile is named SBSClientApps.log and it is in a temp folder in a user profile (why in a user profile ?)

Thank you ! :D
