[(HOW TO MANUALLY CHANGE WINDOWS UPDATE SOURCE)]

(HOW TO MANUALLY CHANGE WINDOWS UPDATE SOURCE)
How to change the source for windows updates.  Can be a windows update server on a domain, or from the internet.  You can tell the source by opening Windows Update and check the "You receive updates".
"Managed by your system administrator" = pulls from local Windows Update domain server.
"For Windows and other products from Microsoft Update" = pulls from Microsoft Update Servers on Internet.

(USE LOCAL DOMAIN UPDATE SERVERS)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU]
"UseWUServer"=dword:00000001

(USE MICROSOFT UPDATE SERVER ON THE INTERNET)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU]
"UseWUServer"=dword:00000000

NOTE: After making changes. Restart the "Windows Update" service (or reboot PC), for changes to take effect.

1. Add these two lines to the file, immediately after the initial "<?php" line

Code Select Expand

update_option('siteurl','http://worpresssite.com');
update_option('home','http://wordpresssite.com');

2. Load the login or admin page. The site should update to the new URL in step 1.

3. IMPORTANT: Remove the lines you added.  Do NOT leave those lines in there. Remove them immediately after the site is up and running again

(HTML DIAG SCREEN - MUCH MUCH EASIER!)
For appliances running "Email Security Firmware Version 7.3.4.5721" and above, you can use the /diag html page, to see all and run commands from an HTML page.
1. Login to the ES ad admin, and change the ending URL to /diag or /diag.html.
For Example: https://mail.company.com/diag.html
