David is the network administrator for a company with a Windows Server 2003 server and Windows XP clients. A new low-priority update is released and synchronized with the Windows Server Update Services server on the network. David approves the update without testing.

After the update is applied to client computers, engineering users report that they can no longer run a network-designer application. What should David do to remove the update from all client computers?
  1. Clear the Automatically approved new versions of previously approved updates option on the WSUS server. Resynchronize the server with the Windows Update server.
  2. Clear the update for approval on the WSUS server. Resynchronize the server with the Windows Update servers.
  3. Clear the Automatically approved new versions of previously approved updates option on the WSUS server. Delete the Systemroot \$NtUninstallQ318138$ directory on each client computer.
  4. Clear the update for approval on the WSUS server and run the spuninst command from the Systemroot\ $NtUninstallQ318138$\spuninst directory on each client computer.
Explanation
Answer - D - To remove the updates from all client computers, clear the update for approval in the WSUS server. Then run the spuninst command from the Systemroot \$NtUninstallQ318138$\ spuninst directory on each client computer.

Key Takeaway: Spuninst uninstalls a Microsoft hotfix installed using Windows Update site or through Automatic Updates. When you install a hotfix, it automatically creates a hotfix uninstallation folder in your Windows directory. These hotfixes and updates are removed by running the spuninst command from the Systemroot\ $NtUninstallQ318138$\spuninst directory on each client computer where 318138 is the Knowledgebase article ID.
