Failing to block .NET 4.5.2 Framework

[zcaa0g]

Greetings,

 

Anyone blocking the .NET 4.5.2 installation from Windows Update in MDT? I previously blocked 4.5.1 successfully with the below

 

;Exclude .NET Framework 4.5.1 install
WUMU_ExcludeKB1=2858725

 

...but the one below is not working for the .NET 4.5.2 installation. I assume the KB is wrong, but when I look in the ZTIWindowsUpdate.log and BDD.log, it appears to be the KB number to use to block it.

;Exclude .NET Framework 4.5.2 install
WUMU_ExcludeKB2=2901983

 

 

Thanks.

What operating System are you deplying? the KB is different for Windows 7 and WIndows 8 for instance.?

Hm, the KB I am using appears to be correct, but it's being ignored for some reason despite it working back when I needed to exclude .NET 4.5.1.

 

I may just have to use this workaround:

1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP
2. After you select the subkey that is specified in step 3, point to New on the Edit menu, and then click Key.
3. Type WU, and then press Enter.
4. Right-click WU, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
5. Type BlockNetFramework452, and then press Enter.
6. Right-click BlockNetFramework452, and then click Modify.
7. In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.
8. On the File menu, click Exit to exit Registry Editor.
