How does the software updates actually get installed?

Hello,
Yesterday I followed the steps to perform "To manually deploy the software updates in a software update group" or
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712304.aspx.  or pages 12-15.  In a nutshell, I created a Critical Update item with a collection of 3 servers.  When I look
at the Software Update Group area that lists the members that I created, I do see under the tabs that Deployed=Yes and Download=Yes for the items that I created.    However, this was not installed on any of the servers.   How does
this actually get installed on the collection servers?  Did I miss a step?   Do the client settings play a role here?  Please advise.
Thanks for all the help!

Kind of. Yes a software update scan cycle must run (a deployment eval doesn't), but it doesn't wait until the 7 day interval. Simply creating a new deployment in the console will trigger a software update scan cycle on targeted clients:

For your deployment, did you create a "Required" deployment?
Have you reviewed software center on the targeted clients?
Have you check wuahandler.log on the clients.

  • Why does the software update say that drivers for my printers are not available? I have the drivers installed from the CD but can't add the printer because it wants to go through software update.

    I have the latest operating system, but can't get my printers added. Why does the software update say that drivers for my printers are not available? I have the drivers installed from the CD but can't add the printer because it wants to go through software update.

    It's pretty difficult to offer suggestions when you say nothing about your Mac, the version of Mac OS it's running, or the models of printers you have. This forum, however, is intended for questions about old, pre-G3 hardware, so unless you are asking about an very old Mac, this is not the forum where you'll be most likely to get help with your problem. I'd suggest you ask this question in the forum for your model of Mac or version of Mac OS X it's running. You'll be more likely to get assistance there, assuming you provide sufficient detail for anyone to make a diagnosis of the problem.

  • Will doing the software update to 6.1.2 destroy any info saved on my iPhone 4? If so how do I back up what is on there - especially the contact list?

  • The software update will not install on my 3rd gen. iPod Touch

    I've downloaded the software update to my computer, but when trying to install it to my iPod, it fails halfway through. I gave it about 5 hours the first time, but the progress bar didn't budge. I would reinstall the update but I don't know how to do that.
    Can anyone tell me what's wrong?
    (I am updated to iTunes 10)

    i would recommend you don't upgrade because ever since i upgraded my ipod had to be restored and now all my songs skip. i never had this problem with my 3rd gen touch until the upgrade

  • How does  the Logical System GUID get created

    In R3 table CRMPRLS has a logical GUID for its logical system name.  How does this get created/updated?  Is it created during the initial replication of the data between R3 and CRM?   Why I am wondering is my systems where working ok in my QA environment then something happen to change LSGUID in my CRMPRLS table on R3.  So now my middleware is not working.  I will use notes 588701 and 765018 to fix the problem, but I am trying figure out what caused it before it happens again in my production environment.
    We are doing one thing to mention is that our R3 environment is being setup to talk to 2 different CRMs.  I am wondering if the setup of the second CRM caused the guid to change.  If so what step during the middleware setup of CRM would cause that?
    Thanks.
    Matthew

    HI Matthew,
    We are facing a similar issue. Could you please let us know the activities done to get the issue resolved?
    Did you revert back the changes done as suggested in the Note 588701, if yes can you let me know where the changes has been done and how has it is reverted back?
    Also, in the table CRMPRLS in R/3 we do not see an entry for the external SRM system.
    Please note, for replicating material into SRM we use the CRM Middleware.

  • Why does the software updating not work

    My system refuses to perform a software update. It starts to scan, then only displays a very short blue section on the progress display and then finally quits by refereing to an apparent network problem. However, network checks show that everything is OK.
    Any ideas what it couod be or how to overcome the problem?
    At the same time, also Safari plays up. When changing websites, in many cases they either don't open or it takes a very long time to start opening. When I disconnect from WLAN and then reconnect, the pages start to load.

    Many thanks.
    Itunes can not update due to an Invalid signature
    That one suggests the installer is getting damaged during the download via Apple Software Update.
    Try instead updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

  • How does internal Flash update server get updated?

    I just set up the directories described in the admin guide into a server running IIS7 and copied the Z files into the structure following these instructions:
    7. Copy the installer files (.z files) to the fp-major-version/install directory created in Step 2.
    When finished, you see something similar to the following:
    https://your.server.com/pub/flashplayer/update/current/sau/11/xml/version.xml
    http://your.server.com/pub/flashplayer/update/current/sau/11/install/install_all_win_ax_sg n.z
    http://your.server.com/pub/flashplayer/update/current/sau/11/install/install_all_win_pl_sg n.z
    http://your.server.com/pub/flashplayer/update/current/sau/11/install/install_all_mac_pl_sg n.z
    Configure clients
    • Create an mms.cfg file with the following entries (replacing your.server.com with the name of your server):
    AutoUpdateDisable=0
    SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1
    SilentAutoUpdateServerDomain=your.server.com
    • Deploy Flash Player 11.3 or higher.
    • Deploy the mms.cfg to all clients for which you want the Background Updater redirected to your internal server.
    I'm guessing that the clientsthat are configured with the mms.cfg that points to our server downloads those .z files and the Flash updates are contained in those files.
    That seens OK, but it isn't clear to me how the update server itself gets the next set of installer update files.
    Do I have to wait until I hear there is another Flash update available and then go manually download and extract another cab into those directories each time?
    Is there any way to set the update server to automatically download the newest cab  as soon as they are available and copy the z files from the cab into the correct directories?
    Since 11.9 is the current version, I am also guessing there will be a Flash version 12 soon and a new "12" directory will have to be created for those updates.

  • How does the assignment schedule actually work?

    Hi,
    I have a task sequence deployed to some servers and checking the status of it, it says that "Program Received" but I don't see it in software center. I have it set so that it is available today the 17th with an assignment schedule for tomorrow
    at 3:00. My question is what actually is the assignment schedule for? Is that when it will actually be on the client and running?

    Hi,
    The available time is when they clients will see the new policy and start to download the requred packages in the TS depending on the settings you have made for the TS and the assignment schedule is when the installation will actually take place.

    You need to test the scenario from RWB testing to get the proper results about the dynamic settings for adapter specific parameters.

  • How does the latest update affect apple t.v.

    I read specs on latest iTunes update and there was a mention of new wireless sharing of photos. Nothing looks different on apple tv-can anyone shed light on this?

    Photo streaming is now a feature for the tv. Previously all you were able to do was sync photos from the primary source. If you have more than one itunes library registered with the tv you will now notice photos are available from all your sources. If you have only one itunes library registered to the tv then not a lot as changed except you will notice photos are now available both from the source 'tv" and "My itunes Library"

  • Whenever I try to restore my iPod Touch, it starts to download a software update, even after I have downloaded the software update several times before. How do I restore my iPod without having to download the software update again and again?

    It's sort of like a "catch 22"; it seems like my iPod won't restore because the software update won't install, but the software update won't install because my iPod won't restore.

    Maybe:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
    - Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - Next try the manual install method of:
    iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
    Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
    - Then try on another computer
    Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Anyway to download the software update separately?

    I'm using a school connection to connect to the internet and it seems to block iTunes (software update works though). Now I want to update my iPod software but can't do it through iTunes (can't connect to the server) so is there any way I can download the software update separately and install it that way?

    There is no standalone iPod updater.
    Nowadays, it's all contained in iTunes.
