In my ongoing efforts to maintain system integrity and performance on a fleet of Windows-based computers, I've encountered various issues that generally require the utilise of System Update Readiness Tool (SUR). Particularly, I've been working with KB947821 to resolve inconsistencies in Windows servicing store which may prevent the successful installation of future updates, service packs, and software.
I've had mixed results with this tool across different systems. On some systems, it runs smoothly and resolves the issues as expected. However, on others, it either fails to install or does not fix all detected problems.
I'm looking for insights or shared experiences regarding:
- Specific conditions under which KB947821 effectively resolves issues compared to situations where it fails.
- Any additional steps or alternative tools professionals might be using when facing persistent servicing store corruption.
- Best practices in deploying this tool across multiple machines efficiently and monitoring its impact on system stability and update capability.
Your expertise and suggestions will be highly beneficial for optimizing the maintenance processes within our IT infrastructure.
