Trying to deploy the Google Earth MSI and getting "Add Operation failed. Unable to extract deployment information from the package. Run validation on the package to make sure the package is correct" Ive copied the whole folder across not the the MSI, any ideas? Getting this on all the 2003 R2 and non R2 servers ive tried

Cheers, will try above tomorrow and if no joy will go ahead and do a system restore, lets hope they have backed up

Hi We have a few problems with one of our servers, it is a Windows Server 2003 R2 server, a single domian and the only server on site. I havent been looking into this myself today but just got landed with it about an hour ago and am scratching my head. No users can login and it seems like DHCP has lost the link to AD. DHCP has the red down arrow on and asks to be authorised but the option is Unauthorise, when I click that it does nothing and then when I click Authorise again it does nothing, still the red down arrow. So far I am told DNS and DHCP have been reinstalled and the server rebooted. Can get into AD ok and no errors appear. Ill paste the errors we are getting below. DCDIAG report: Also getting following errors in event log APPLICATION Event ID 1053 - Windows cannot determine the user or computer name. (Access is denied. ). Group Policy processing aborted. SYSTEM Event ID 1059 - The DHCP service failed to see a directory server for authorization. DIRECTORY SERVICE Event ID 1126 - Active Directory was unable to establish a connection with the global catalog. Additional Data Error value: 8430 The directory service encountered an internal failure. Internal ID: 3200c89 User Action: Make sure a global catalog is available in the forest, and is reachable from this domain controller. You may use the nltest utility to diagnose this problem. DNS Server Event ID 4000 - The DNS server was unable to open Active Directory. This DNS server is configured to obtain and use information from the directory for this zone and is unable to load the zone without it. Check that the Active Directory is functioning properly and reload the zone. The event data is the error code.

Thanks Michael, I tried your script and it fixed it no problems, thanks again!

Thanks for the quick reply, I wasnt involved in imaging these servers but I am told they probably were not syspreped. However when I was asked to look into it it was pretty much told to me it was the PID that was the problem so this wouldnt affect WSUS at all? I will try that script above and Ill try a sid changer too on 1 of the servers to see if that helps. thanks

Hi there We have quite a few servers which were imaged and all have the same PID. This is apparantly stopping WSUS from working and therefore I have been asked to find out how to change the PID's on these machines. Ive found a few things via Google etc but has anyone actually done this? Im not on site to test it yet but would putting our current volume licensing key in (that was used originally, the servers dont have individual license keys) even change the PID? Can anyone shed any light on this?

The Laptops are Stone laptops, dont think thats been mentioned, anyone any ideas?

Update on Newtons problem (we work together) if you put a BIOS password on it will randomly reset this to no password set aswell as disabling the wireless in the BIOS so its not exclusive to the wireless only. It is also a wide spread problem, not just 1 batch of laptops. Valentine what make laptops are you getting that problem with?
