Disable Software Updates client component

I want to temporarily disable the Software Updates Agent component on a subset of 2012 R2 clients.
Based on the example of how to disble SWDist here: http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/rzander/archive/2008/08/11/sms-sccm-commandline.aspx and digging into WMI a little deeper I thought this might do the trick...
WMIC /namespace:\\root\ccm\policy\machine\requestedconfig path CCM_SoftwareUpdatesClientConfig CREATE ComponentName="SmsSoftwareUpdate",Enabled="false",LockSettings="TRUE",PolicySource="local",PolicyVersion="1.0"
,SiteSettingsKey="1" /NOINTERACTIVE
I kept getting "ERROR: Description = Not Found". Although the namespace and class exist, I'm wondering if I'm missing a required property or something changed with 2012 or ... ?.
If anyone has experience doing this you're help would be greatly appreciated!

Good catch, that explains it. After removing the LockSettings
property it worked. Thank you Peter and Jason for the quick responses!
To Disable SW Updates Agent Component:
WMIC /namespace:\\root\ccm\policy\machine\requestedconfig path CCM_SoftwareUpdatesClientConfig CREATE ComponentName="SmsSoftwareUpdate",Enabled="false",PolicySource="local",PolicyVersion="1.0" ,SiteSettingsKey="1" /NOINTERACTIVE
To Enable SW Update Agent component (reverse change):
WMIC /namespace:\\root\ccm\policy\machine\requestedconfig path CCM_SoftwareUpdatesClientConfig WHERE (ComponentName="SmsSoftwareUpdate" AND Enabled="false" AND PolicySource="local" AND PolicyVersion="1.0") delete /NOINTERACTIVE

N97 Software update client always says "all applic...

Could any one tell me why, since I updated to v 20, my Software update client always says “all applications are up-to-dated”?
It was not important until now with Maps 3.3.
I ma running v20.0.19, RM-505 Language set: Spain (05), unbranded
Thanks

Because all software ARE up to date on your phone. The n97 is not given the map 3.03 update. It will be available for the n97 via a firmware update which has just recently been released. If it is not available for your phone, then your product code must not yet be available for updating.
@chanchan05 - Not sure regarding the map update... I have an N97 (not mini) and when I was checking for latest software updates, I received the map update on 28 Jan.... No official news from Nokia on FW 2.1...

Software updates - client behaviour

I deployed SUP role and clients in test collection I deployed updates to got their updates. However I noticed two "weird" things on client machines (I am talking about test environment since I am learning SCCM 2012 R2):
Update settings in Control Panel - Windows Update are not grayed-out (in production I have WSUS server and GPO pointing clients to WSUS and these settings are grayed-out - I do not have SCCM in production)
In Software Center user has complete look at update process but e.g. if user picks some update that has been installed and requires restart, in lower-right corner there is button RESTART - I did not try but I assume user (me) could have pressed this
button and in doing so installation of remaining updates would have been interrupted
How to troubleshoot this? I took a look at software updates client settings and I did not notice any settings related to problems I depicted above. In my opinion update settings should have been grayed-out and RESTART button should not have been available before
all updates are installed - then RESTART is inevitable action.

Changes to those settings won't prevent the ConfigMgr client from triggering the WUA agent for the configured scans and installations. If you want to prevent access to those features you can use GPOs.
For a nice blog series about software updates and GPOs, see the following links (it's written for ConfigMgr 2007, but still works the same in ConfigMgr 2012):

How can I disable software update in the settings of our company iPad?

Hi, Just need your help guys. How can I disable or hide the software update settings in our company's iPad? Our company don't want to update all the iPad fixed asset to our employee. Thanks.

There are two files that ought to change when you set your preference:
"/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist"
"/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/com.apple.scheduler.plist"
Try moving both of them out of the prefs folder. Then launch System Preferences and reset your preference to whatever you want (or uncheck the box altogether). See if that works. If it it does you will have to also reset your other System Prefs, since all will be returned to the default. If it doesn't do the trick, you can put the originals back and thus avoid the resetting.

How to Disable Software Updates

One of my customers, a small school district, has an Xserver running OS X 10.6.6. All of the student and teacher MacBooks are also on this version. The district is deploying a program called DeepFreeze on the student laptops which will prevent them from saving any and all changes to the laptop. They have local administrative rights, but when the laptop is rebooted, it is like they never logged in. Therefore, Apple Software Updates are useless and really undesirable. They'll be downloading the same updates everyday. They can turn DeepFreeze off and run the updates, but this will not be on a scheduled basis. Is there a way through Workgroup Manager that I can disable the updates for the student group?

We turn that off in system preferences for each local account. I even build a DEFAULT template with it turned off. It works fine until we image the machine. Any new machine with that image, the Apple updates, Bluetooth are turned back on!!!
How do you keep them turned off after a restore? The original machine with the master image still works. they only turn back on after using the image of the master. Very annoying that every app on a mac has to search for updates all the time, then multiply that times a 1000 machines and a 15m internet connection. Do the math.
if anyone knows how to KEEP the settings after a restore, let me know.

How do I disable software updates in iOS 6.1.3?

I wish software updates was a setting under the "Restrictions", the same was "Install Apps" is. Is there a way to disable the button/badge for software updates? I'm running iOS 6.1.3 right now and I don't want to change.

Once your device is already updated to iOS 7 you can no longer downgrade it from the previous version. If you have partially downloaded or it was just completed and prompting you to install if there will be option. Simply go to Gen>reset>erase all contents and settings. This will restore your device to its original factory settings activate your device using apple I'd via wifi or sync to iTunes using apple I'd.

Software updates - Clients stuck in passed/Inactive, passed/Active

I've deployed some software updates (an update group that has a deployment package of Windows Software Updates) to a small collection, but for the past couple days since I kicked off the deployment, all the assets in the collection are just
sitting with either of these two statuses.
There's no maintenance window on this collection, and deployment schedule was set to "As Soon As Possible".
I've tried running Software Updates Deployment Evaluation and Software Updates Scan Cycles multiple times thoughout the day but the clients do not appear to be pulling down any updates yet.
What should I be checking for at this point? Or just wait a couple days?

When it comes to maintenance windows, they just dont affect the clients that reside in the collection where the maintenance window is configured. If you have configured Coll1 to include all of your clients, and configured a maintenance window on
that collection, if you then created Coll2 and added some of your clients to that, those clients would still get the configured maintenance window from Coll1. So check if you don't have any maintenance windows configured on another collection where you clients
are members of.

@NickolajA
To respond to this, I can say that I do not have any maintenance windows applied to this sub-collection, nor any other collections that the clients would be direct or indirect members of.

Software Update Client Actions

Can someone please explain how the three cycles, Software Update Scan, Software Updates Deployment Evaluation, and Machine Policy Retrieval work in a normal software update deployment. The article http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682168.aspx has
a section for the Software Update Deployment Process but it doesn't say what cycle actually does what.

Yes they are different. Quoting the docs.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682067.aspx
Software Updates Deployment Evaluation Cycle: Evaluates the state of new and existing deployments and their associated software updates. This includes scanning for software updates compliance, but may not always catch scan results for the
latest updates. This is a forced online scan and requires that the WSUS server is available for this action to succeed.
Software Updates Scan Cycle: Scans for software updates compliance for updates that are new since the last scan. This action does not evaluate deployment policies as the
Software Updates Deployment Evaluation Cycle does. This is a forced online scan and requires that the WSUS server is available for this action to succeed.

Disable Software Update?

Is it possible? Is there a way (other than the preferences option) that i can hide that from users on their computer? I have about 50 computer and i dont want users to be able to make software update..
Not an easy one? hehe

By default, only an administrator can run Software Update. So, taking away administrative rights would prevent them from running it. However, if you were to take away admin from your users, they wouldn't be able to, for example, install some software packages.
Many systems administrators would argue that this is a good thing.
TeenTitan's idea is a good one, too -- using your own repository. A combination of the two, plus one more, is how I manage two different OSX environments: limit who gets administrative access, use a local repository, and clear business rules that people who do have admin rights must do so responsibly.
Not sure how to hide it altogether though. A crafty user can still run it from the terminal; though they'll still need administrative access to do so:
sudo softwareupdate -ia

How to Disable SCCM Software Updates on Client Workstations

Hi,
I have enabled Software Updates for all clients, to create a baseline for reporting. The intent was to then disable Software Updates via. SCCM Client Settings, so that our clients could continue receiving updates from Microsoft until we were ready to deploy
updates to our clients.
After modifying the SCCM Client Settings, the Software Update Cycles/actions removed from the Configuration Manager Client on the workstations, however the local policy on the workstation remained configured (did not revert back to Non-Configured).
and the workstation is still looking to the SCCM for Windows Updates.
Using SCCM, how do I get the workstations back to Microsoft for Windows/Microsoft Updates?
TIA,
Bill

>I've read that you shouldn't mix SCCM and Group Policy for Windows Updates, when you're intending
to use SCCM.
Correct - if you are using Group Policy to manage the Windows Update settings, ConfigMgr will not be able to manage them. You're post implied you did not want to manage updates with ConfigMgr.
> not all of our workstations are on a domain; so that's not really a complete solution for
us.
ConfigMgr is designed to easily configure devices to update against ConfigMgr, not Microsoft Update, so there isn't just a check box for what you want.
Consider using ConfigMgr Compliance Settings to manage the registry keys for the Windows Update settings you are looking for on your devices.
I hope that helps,

Software Update Scan Cycle not found on Client computer.

Hi,
In my organization in some of the client PC's (Windows 7), Software update scan cycle is not found.
When i checked the UpdateDeployment.log file on client computer it saying
"Software Updates client configuration policy has not been received."
"Software updates functionality will not be enabled until the configuration policy has been received. If this issue persists please check client/server policy communication."
"Software Updates feature is disabled"
Please help me to solve the issue. Let me know the solution if anyone faced the same problem.
Thanks in Advance

Reactivate expired Software updates

We currently had a lot of superseeded updates, which were normally deployed to our clients. We currently patch 3 times a year in our company. The last time was around september. Now the superseeded updates turned to expire, due the Supersedence rule / Superdence
behavior configured in the Software Update Point Component Properties.
Is it possible to reactive / reenable the expired update until we patch our clients again with the newest updates? Currently the expired updates don't get deployed, which i think is normal behavior...
Thanks in advance

Typically, a software update that supersedes another software update does one or more of the following:
1. Enhances, improves, or adds to the fix provided by one or more previously released updates.
2. Improves the efficiency of its update file package, which is installed on client computers if the update is approved for installation. For example, the superseded update might contain files that are no longer relevant to the fix or to the operating systems
now supported by the new update, so those files are not included in the superseding update's file package.
3. Updates newer versions of a product, or in other words, is no longer applicable to older versions or configurations of a product. Updates can also supersede other updates if modifications have been made to expand language support. For example, a later
revision of a product update for Microsoft Office might remove support for an older operating system, but add additional support for new languages in the initial update release.
You can specify a period of time before superseded software updates are expired, which allows you to continue to deploy them. THe superseded rule can only be configured at central site.

Software update problem : updates not found on 8088

Hello,
I recently found that when I performed an update on my clients they always reported Up to date. I then made them point to Apple's software update and they found that Itunes and a performance update was necessary.
So I tried to find what was wrong. My server seems to have downloaded all the latest updates (including ITunes and the performance update).
I disabled SoftwareUpdate and reenabled it.
Now my clients can't even connect to my Software Update server : the bar stays fix for a really long time.
When I look at the logs from my server : I see that a few products can't be downloaded :
Product 061-7024 will not be available for installation.
Unable to download or create .smd file for product
But maybe the main problem is that when I try to contact http://myserver:8088/
I dont see anything and when I try http://myserver:8088/index.sucatalog it begins to open the file but displays only the file's beginning. It keeps downloading the rest of the file really slowly (I think that's what makes the bar stays fix when I try to update).
Any clue ?

Hello again,
After a few more tests, I noted this.
Before restarting Software update, new updates weren't visible to clients.
After restarting Software update : Clients unable to connect to Software Update Server : bar stays fix for a very long time. In fact it appears to be a really slow connection to the server. After a few minutes the available updates appear (ITunes and Performance update). If I click to install them. Downloading begins but it's very slow 1k/s approximately.
I tried to untick Bandwidth limitation that was set to 1Mo/s. And after restarting Software Update, surprise : my clients can connect to SUS, see the new updates and download them at LAN speed.
Why did it work before ?
I tried to reset Bandwidth limitation to 1024k/s to see if it makes any difference. Yes when it's set, SUS doesn't work.
So really painful to work with this, almost no options to fine tune the update server and it's better to let all to defaults to avoid problems it seems.

Software Update Server not supplying updates

Greetings All,
I started a SUS on a running server. After configuring it I left it to download all the updates. The updates appear in the list displaying that they are copied and enabled. When I then "pointed" one of the local clients towards it and ran Software Update on the client machine it returned the message that there were no new updates relevant to the machine to be found on the server. Then I tried entering the path to the index file into Safari and it came up making me believe that there were no issues with the connection between the two machines. Since the server must be the problem I then tried this command on the server:
+grep swupd /etc/swupd/com.apple.server.swupdate.plist > ~/Desktop/update.txt+
When inspecting the update.txt file I noticed that it was completely empty. After consulting the manual yet again I looked into the /usr/shar/swupd/ directory and found that there were a vast quantity of data in the /html/content/downloads/ directory. After reading a few posts I decided to delete all this data and allow the server to download them again. Now the directory contains 15GB but the issue remains. A grep of com.apple.server.swupdate.plist still comes up empty.
The only errors that I see in the log are these:
[Mon Sep 28 10:29:28 2009] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down
[Mon Sep 28 10:29:34 2009] [notice] Apache/1.3.41 (Darwin) configured -- resuming normal operations
[Mon Sep 28 10:29:34 2009] [notice] Accept mutex: flock (Default: flock)
Any ideas? Have I missed something very obvious?
Thank you for your time and effort on this forum!

I have been running Software Update Server since a few days after the Mac Mini Server came out. It really helps the other macs in my household get their updates fast - when it works.
After "a while", the clients stop seeing updates - all at the same time. So, it's not a client problem. The thing that no one else has pointed out is that the "Your software is up to date." message on the client is abnormal.
In a normal up-to-date client, the "*Your software is up to date.*" modal dialog rolls down from an empty list of updates.
In this failure case, the modal dialog rolls down from the "*Software updates are available for your computer. Do you want to install them?*" window. This suggests (to me) that the Software Update client saw some indication that an update was available, but later decides not.
Since this is hard to describe, I've taken a few pictures:

Stop Itunes checking for software updates

software update continually searches and prompts me to download.
how can i stop the "nagware". Every time i boot up and open iTunes - the nagware asks if i want itunes10 - i don't.
I've trashed the plist file and still the nagware persists.

try this:
iTunes > preferences > general
disable +check for new software updates automatically+.
you can also disable software update schedules completely via system preferences > software update > scheduled check.
