2008 R2 is the Server side of Win7 (and plain 2008 is the Server side of Vista); both 2008+2008 R2 are still supported by WU/MU, thus WSUS, if the corresponding updates that bestow SHA-2 support are manually pre-installed... This isn't any news, is it? OTOH, you haven't responded with clarity to @Vistapocalypse's query: Have you recently tried WSUS on plain Vista (+SP2?) ??? M$ don't offer an official update that implements SHA-2 support to the OS, one may use the KB for 2008, but does WSUS really work on Vista SP2?

@TechnoRelic I haven't tried Bnavigator, but if it's anything similar to PM/Serpent, then a search for DefaultBrowser in about:config should give you a setting to toggle/reset. You imported it along with your profile, so the browser assumes it is already set as default and doesn't bother checking.

Ximonite, with all due respect , that is not entirely unlike saying they are "on the internet". If you search for: Windows 2000 Drivers English Intel you have several result, none with name exactly corresponding to your post. Should be this one: Intel Rapid Storage Manager 8.9a for Windows 2000 + Extended Core(Intel 7 Series 蟇ｾ蠢�) http://win2k.org/cgi-bin/dl.cgi?file=iata89bw2k.zip&lang=en that does have "PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1E03&CC_0106" in ahci.inf. jaclaz

BlackWingCat's Intel Matrix Storage Manager drivers should work. They can be found here. When adding the driver with nLite, choose "Intel(R) 7 Series Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller".

It's impossible to install WSUS on Vista unfortunately (to my knowledge, you can just install the console to control the server)... Is your WSUS installation on a virtual machine? It's more flexible than a physical machine and you can backup and move easily. For me, on the contrary, WSUS has almost only advantages: -Update as many machines as you want, without copying the updates - WU does everything automatically and without consuming a lot of disk space (I have a problem doing it manually, precisely on vista, the disk fills up quite quickly, I have to plan at least 60 GB to install ~ 200 updates I think it's coming extracted .cabs that are not deleted over time after being installed. I have not tested with .msu, because you have to recover everything manually, and the pkgmgr tool does not support msu for an installation of several packages at the same time, it only works from windows 7.

Yes, this is because I have fully considered the issue of multilingual translation when I wrote this article. In order to make others understand what I want to express, I try my best to use words that can be understood by most people, Rather than a variety of overly professional vocabulary and abbreviations.

Yes. Because Microsoft has added a built-in digital signature to exfat.sys in Win10 20H1 and later systems, there is no need to modify the driver even for 64-bit systems. In addition, if you are interested, you can provide a translation for this tutorial and freely repost it to other forums, I will thank you very much.

I suppose WSUS would also work on Server 2008 SP2 etc, but that’s no help at all for those who only have XP/Vista clients - and M$ may yet remove the updates altogether.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean... I installed 2008 R2 with the base version of WSUS and tested that everything installed fine on 2000/XP/vista and this is the case. Thereupon, i'm go to bed. its late here.

This is the second compressed file: exFAT.7z.002

I will upload the attachment directly here, but since I can only upload a single attachment of up to 512KB in a post in the MSFN forum, I will use 7-Zip to compress the exFAT driver as two compressed packages for uploading. This is the first compressed file: exFAT.7z.001

WSUS works on vista SP2 yes. Just like 2000 SP4 or XP SP3.

Of course. I installed SHA2 support on 2008 R2 and all updates have been downloaded.

Have you used it in the last 2 weeks for XP, Vista or 2000?

The 2001 era 19" ViewSonic CRT monitor used here daily continues to be flaky, first reported below. https://msfn.org/board/topic/177106-running-vanilla-windows-98-in-2020/page/20/?tab=comments#comment-1177004 Limped it along for over half a year, used several times daily. Sometimes weekly the monitor would need to be turned on/off and physically pursuaded to initialize an image. Not a 'Fonzie' hit, more of a back/forth rocking motion. http://s388007383.onlinehome.us/thelessonapplied/wp-content/uploads/fonz_jukebox.jpg Now when the monitor sits in it's casing it doesn't work at all. When the case and stand is removed, it works. Without the casing the monitor's weight flexes the circuit board that it now rests on, not recommended but it works. Working diagnosis is a flaky solder on the board but darned if i can find it. Now running it without a case, placed a wood block under the circuit board bracket to reduce some pressure and allow the monitor to sit flat. With casing removed will cautiously poke components with a wood chopstick if it conks out again to isolate the problem. Important safety note, the monitor does not run unattended, no kids or pets, exposed electrical not touching anything conductive. Long live VGA.

That's because of those user32 functions I added. But I haven't touched powerprof.dll, which apparently caused problems as well. 15.7.1 misses ntoskrnl function sprintf_s. And the 16.x series adds RtlDowncaseUnicodeChar. That may be because I put my new code and export table below the rsrc/reloc sections, which doesn't correspond to MS convention, yet seems to the easiest way to do it on x64. I'm gonna have to check out whatever reshack does to these files myself.
