An upgrade of Iphone 3 to Iphone 6
And just to throw in a wrinkle, itunes version 9 is on the pc.
Backup old phone using Itunes 9, and also do a sync (previously setup, using Outlook). Copy over any pictures using explorer.
Iphone 6:
Made a few test calls.
Then do a Reset : Settings, General, Reset, Erase all Content and Settings
On startup of phone 6, select "Restore from Itunes Backup"
Plug Iphone 6 into pc, fire up Itunes...and do not see the Iphone.
Run the setup for new Itunes (ver 12). Let it install into old Itunes program folder.
When done, Itunes (v12) does see the Iphone 6, and asks about restoring from the recent backup.
It winds up doing a sync at the end. Everything is back in place (with a few exceptions noted below). and we notice all the pics and vids are brought back also.
Exceptions: no text messages, no email is setup and so no content.

http://malwaretips.com/blogs/this-extension-is-managed-and-cannot-be-removed-or-disabled-removal/
In the Extensions tab, to find the ID of the “This extension is managed and cannot be removed or disabled” malicious extension, enable the “Developer mode” by putting a check-mark in its box as seen below.
Next, you we will need to write down the ID and the name of the “This extension is managed and cannot be removed or disabled” malicious extension, then we can close Google Chrome
Then use Regedit...
Then use chrome://policy/
Click Show Value
"see below there’s a path on your computer pointing to an extension update file"
Next:
C:\Users\Your-Username\AppData\Local\GOOGLE\CHROME\USER DATA\DEFAULT\Extensions)
The writeup above suggests:
5. Finally, we will need to browse to %windir%\system32\GroupPolicy\ (e.g. C:\Windows\system32\GroupPolicy), and from there delete the Machine and User folders.

Clean up WSUS space usage
See your server with too much space used by WSUS?
This link has a good method

The nut is this, by SuperGumby, quoting:
- You'd probably each do well to open up the standard WSUS console, Updates, All Updates, and expose the supersedence column (rt-click on the column headings to do so).
- Set 'approval' to 'any but declined', set 'status' to 'any', refresh the list, and sort by supersedence.
- There's probably a few thousand updates in there that are either 'superseded' or both 'supersedes and is superseded'.
Decline the lot (of superseded), run the cleanup again. - You have to look closely at what the cleanup task says about cleaning up superseded updates to understand why these are left alone.
