Re: Updates fail after restore
[X-post to WU newsgroup]
Download/run the AURESET utility:
http://www.codeplex.com/aureset/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=17263
NB: It may take 20 minutes or more for the utility to run to completion so
be patient. Don't *touch* the machine until the run has completed.
