Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop App stuck on waiting for update(Mac and Windows)

I have seen many forums suggesting uninstall and reinstall all Adobe products or rename the OOBE folder but what worked for me every time is to update the ServiceConfig.xml file.

• On Mac Machines, Sign out of Adobe CC desktop App
• Open Activity monitor Stop all Adobe services
• Open /Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE/Configs 
• Copy the ServiceConfig.xml file to the desktop opens it with text editor then change all the 'false' value to 'true.'  Save the file. 
• Copy and replace the existing file in  /Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE/Configs

• On Windows machines, the ServiceConfig.xml file is under C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\Configs
• Copy the file to the desktop, open it with notepad and then change the 'False' value to 'True'.
• Save the file then copy and replace the existing fil under C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\ Configs\ServiceConfig.xml

PXE Boot Aborted : Booting to Next Device

PXE Boot Aborted message might come up when doing OS deployment using PXE.

The main reason could be the machine was already imaged before using SCCM, so try to Clear Required PXE Deployment by right-clicking on the computer name.

If you still get‘PXE Boot aborted’ error message then see if there is any other name for the machine. Sometimes a failed deployment or old deployment leave a different name.

Search the machine name (MININT-SBNED6G) under devices in Configuration Manager and remove it.

You should be able to do PXE boot successfully

Error on Domain Controller (0xc00002e2) - Your PC ran into a problem and need to restart

I got the below error on my DC after my VMware workstation crashed. 

 

I have tried safe mode and last known good configuration, and the server restarted to the same blue screen error.  Googled the error and some blogs suggested to remove Active Directory domain services from the DC and reinstall it. Unfortunately, this was my only DC in the lab, and I didn’t have a backup.

Restart the server and select startup settings.

Choose Directory Services Repair Mode from the Advanced options

logged on using the local admin credentials on the DC.  Ran the command prompt as administrator and ran the below command

ntdsutil.exe

activate instance ntds

files

I have received the below error

Could not initialize the Jet engine: Jet Error -501. Failed to open DIT for AD DS/LDS instance NTDS. Error -2147418113

Renamed the .log files located in C:\Windows\ntds and restarted the machine but received the same blue screen with  0xc00002e2 error

Restart the server again in Directory Service Repair mode and ran the command.

esentutl /p "c:\windows\ntds\ntds.dit"

 

 Restarted the server, and the server boots straight into windows.  

Unable to Download Application from Software Center

You might get application status: failed error when trying to install an application from the software center

When you click on the failed link you will get the below error message

The main reason for this error message is that the ccmcache is full or it doesn't have enough space to download the application.

To fix the issue. Go to control panel and open configuration manager.

You can either increase the disk space or click delete the files temporarily stored in the cache.
