Windows 10: Remove a windows update by script

I am very interested in microsoft response for a method to remove a windows update patch from many 100 domin joined win10 machines. I just spent 2 days trying to powershell script the removal of 2 updates that were released, installed and subsequnetly withdrawn by MS as they caused reboots. E.g. KB5000802.


the old command:

wusa /uninstall now does not support /quiet so cant be scripted silently


a newer option

DISM /online /uninstall package will not run at strtup or logon as it needs services running that arent there at startup or elevated permissions at logon.


what are we meant to do?.....

FIXED!! Windows 7 sp1 never ends searching for updates

Pros:

• No need for a script, easy to apply manually
  
• Much smaller download, seems that KB3020369 is not required, only SP1 is needed

Cons:

• Windows Update Client downloaded by the script is newer (June 2016 version is included in KB3172605 instead of March 2016)
• You will still need to download/install hundreds of updates afterwards, most of them are already included in KB3125574 and installed by the script

 

Windows Script Host

Hi Tiara,

The message "Windows Script Host access is disabled on this machine. Contact your administrator for details" is usually occurring if a program that does not require the feature of Windows Script Host is running on a Windows PC. For us to provide an accurate
solution, we would need you to answer the following questions:

• Which build, version and edition of Windows is installed on your computer?
• Does the message appear when you are launching a specific application?
• What changes were made to the device before this issue happened?

For initial troubleshooting, we suggest following the steps provided by
Ramesh Srinivasan in this thread.

We are looking forward to your response.

 

Xubuntu Server flash/java jre update script

Hey guys,

I have a request to make.

I am not a coder, I just love using linux.

The company I work for just put xubuntu machines in the break room. ^_^
the thing is, they are PXE booting them off of a Live CD image.
What I need is a script that can be run server wide that will auto update flash and java jre.
Otherwise the admin will be bogged down manually updating the machines.
I will be working on rolling a remix with the Install Xubuntu script removed from the desktop and Firefox placed on the Desktop.


Thanks for the help!!

The IT guys are still shaky on the Linux side of things. They took a step off the roof on this as they have to make this work so that the Management is happy. SO I am doing my best to assist them.
