Fix for CredSSP terminal server errors

As of May 2018, I'm seeing several instances of errors connecting to terminal servers due to CredSSP errors.  Microsoft released a fix that needs to be applied to both the client and the server.  If one is patched, the other needs to be patched.  If one is patched and the other is not, the connection will fail.

The download will vary based on the OS of the unpatched system.  Here's the link

Here's what the error looks like:

update rollups for Windows 7 or other OSes (convenience updates)

If (for some reason) Windows update isn't working, which oddly I've seen a couple times in the last week when I needed to update Windows 7 in advance of a Windows 10 update (the checking for updates progress bar just cycles and cycles for hours) . . .

You can install update via a "convenience" update.

As an example, here's a convenience update for convenience update for Windows 7 and Windows 2008:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3125574

Before installing the update, install the April 2015 servicing stack update from here:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3020369

Also - you may need to stop the "Windows Update" service so that the convenience update does not try to check for existing updates since the Windows Update service has already shown instability.

Downloading Acrobat 9 updates now that Acrobat is no longer actively supported

Acrobat 9 (Standard or Pro) will no longer download updates automatically from version 9.0.0 at least that was my experience on 6/30/16.  Acrobat 9 is no longer supported by Adobe.  Luckily, I found this page:
http://khkonsulting.com/2014/08/where-are-my-adobe-acrobat-9-updates%E2%80%BD%E2%80%BD%E2%80%BD/#comment-306225

The page explains that while the autodownload function no longer works, you can manually download the updates from here:
PC - ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win
Mac - ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/mac

I found that when I got to about version 9.3.5, the autoupdate feature *did* work, but the autoupdate feature definitely did not work on version 9.0.0.
