Hi, I ran script and it says success despite showing error

[bach1590]

As the title says, the script apparently ran successfully saying Operation result: Success, but has errors in it, is there a way to know if it was actually successful? Thank you

Here is an screenshot or see the text copied below, thanks.

PS C:\ConsumerESU> .\Consumer_ESU_Enrollment.ps1

I did not add checks for all unexpected errors

your device seems to have many issues, or you disable/remove important services that are required for online licensing communication

I agree with you that this is my fault, and not the script's. I won't take your time further, but if you can provide me with any hints as to check what needs need to be active/unblocked or guide me to a site that can help me understand this then I can check.

In terms of my windows it is legitimate, and does not run on any patch, although MS Word does run on patch.

Many thanks.

@bach1590
at least you need to enable "Windows License Manager" Service

[bach1590]

I checked and that was already running.

[abbodi1406]

Check "Microsoft Account Sign-in Assistant" service (wlidsvc)

[bach1590]

That was indeed disabled, and enabling reduces the errors to just one error now, as in the screenshot below. Is there anything else I could check you could think of? Thanks. Not sure if appropriate to ask here, but do you accept ppal donations to your email?

[bach1590]

Nevermind! Success - All I had to was to allow everything through the firewall as I block a lot of things. Also prior to all your tips I also made sure to allow windows apps/windows update/and windows telemetry as i have an app that i use to block all those until i need to unblock them. However, as i ran into this issue even though i had unblocked them, it was the "Microsoft Account Sign-in Assistant" that was disabled that I had to enable as you instructed, and also my firewall issue that i let everything through (not sure what windows function was blocked - certainly svchost is not blocked).

This brings me to my last two questions

1. the donation question
2. regarding microsoft sign-in assistance service I suppose I should always keep it enabled? I have had it disabled for years...

Thank you so much!

[abbodi1406]

• I don't, it's just for fun and learn
• I guess it's better to keep it enabled (it runs on demand), however you can also disable

[bach1590]

Ok thanks! One final question - does the connect user experience telemetry need to be enabled for you patch, because the windows ESU updates wasn't appearing, and it did after i enabled that service saying I am already enabled for ESU updates in windows updates.
I ask because if diagtrack doesn't need to be enabled/doesn't need to remain enabled I will disable it. I know in one of your posts you had said that it's possible to enable it without enabling the telemetry option and you had provided a powershell script, should I run that?
This is also what i see when I type the eligibility check command (althoguh again, windows update shows i am enabled after running your patch and enabling diagtrack/connecting user experience service):

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\ConsumerESU
ESUEligibility REG_DWORD 0x3
ESUEligibilityResult REG_DWORD 0x1

[abbodi1406]

No, Diagtrack is not mandatory
it's needed for the old manual way to enable the feature via reboot
the new way enable the feature via runtime
