Does anyone know how to enable Windows Update to get more products (i.e. change Windows Update to Microsoft Update) in Server 2008/Vista? This used to work but Microsoft probably took down the link or disabled it. When you click on the link "Get updates for more products" it launches a dead IE link. Copying the link in a different browser gives this generic message: I've tried the old trick of adding the site in compatibility view in IE but it still doesn't work. Is there a registry or file hack to enable Microsoft Update? I have Office 2003 installed on an old machine and would like to scan for the last available updates (instead of having to hunt and install each one manually).
There is a Powershell command. Code: (new-object -c "microsoft.update.servicemanager").addservice2("7971f918-a847-4430-9279-4a52d1efe18d",7,"") Might need a Powershell session with Admin rights. You can also use WuMgr or WUMT and register MU through them.
