Carlo's questions

I'm downloading updates for only Windows 7 in English language.

Currently size of folder is 99Gb of 100 available.

I have tried to delete unused updates, pc non contating server etc (using wsus clean up wizard, all options checked).

Is it possible that there are that many updates for win 7 system?

Can I do anything to free up some space.

Thanks

I need to store command output to pass it as variable in function later

#This works
[scriptblock]$command = {Get-EventLog system -newest 1  | Format-List}
$command.Invoke()

But when I try to Write-Host it fails

#This works
[scriptblock]$command = {Get-EventLog system -newest 1  | Format-List}
Write-Host $command.Invoke()

with output

Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.Internal.Format.FormatStartData Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.Internal.Format.GroupStartData Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.Internal.Format.FormatEntryData Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.Internal.Format.GroupEndData Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.Internal.Format.FormatEndData

Line of the script in which I'm trying to use it is

$SMTPMessage = New-Object System.Net.Mail.MailMessage('UserName [email protected]','[email protected]','subjectText',($command.Invoke()) )

Thanks

I have scheduled backup and every day copies of:

• bare metal recovery
• system state
• system reserved
• local disk C:\

Backup is stored on iscsi disk. On local disk C are databases mdf with logs. In theory can I restore databases from full windows server backup if there is something wrong with SQL server generated backup of databases like mydatabase.bak ?

Thanks
