WSUS: Script to delete duplicate SID created by Disk Imaging / Disk Cloning
When you ghost an image and when that machine is a WSUS Client, it may not appear in the Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) console or sometime, it may not communicate with WSUS Server as it will have the duplicate registry values. More information on
Automatic Updates with WSUS doesnt work if workstation is installed via Disk Imaging / Disk Cloning;
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555351
If you have multiple computers with this behavior, then you can add a logon script which can do the task automatically. Note this has to be done only once.
====================================================================================
@echo off
Echo Save the batch file "AU_Clean_SID.cmd". This batch file will do the following:
Echo 1. Stop the wuauserv service
Echo 2. Delete the AccountDomainSid registry key (if it exists)
Echo 3. Delete the PingID registry key (if it exists)
Echo 4. Delete the SusClientId registry key (if it exists)
Echo 5. Restart the wuauserv service
Echo 6. Resets the Authorization Cookie
Pause
@echo on
net stop wuauserv
REG DELETE "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate" /v AccountDomainSid /f
REG DELETE "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate" /v PingID /f
REG DELETE "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate" /v SusClientId /f
net start wuauserv
wuauclt /resetauthorization /detectnow
Pause
====================================================================================
These registry entries will be re-created at the next detection cycle.
