How to configure local account to use local software update service?

ok folks here is the question. i have OD setup and i configured network users to get updates from my software update and it works just fine. the one thing i cant figure out is how can i configure local machine accounts to get updates from that same server.
any help would be appreciated.

Hi VMF
OK I understand what you are saying. In which case why dont you apply the managed preference at machine level?
Failing that create an account on the server which is the same as your local admin account. Ideally all the local admin accounts should have the same name and password and the name should be different to the server admin account. One or both of these suggestions should work. HTH

Should using the software update service be faster for the clients then downloading from apple?

I've got about 25 clients, a mixture of Snow Leopard and Lion systems in the office. I've recently turned on the Software update service on my snow leopard server (10.6.8, mac mini) and have a transparent server setup for the software updates service (dns redirects through the mini). All the machines see the mini and I believe they are pulling updates from it when the client runs their software update. I haven't noticed any real speed differnce though from pulling updates from the mini vs pulling from apple (though I have noticed less internet congestion).
Should this be faster because it's a local network transfer or not?
Thanks!

I'm a little concerned by the statement:
dns redirects through the mini
Are you saying you're masking Apple's DNS so that requests for swupdate.apple.com end up on your machine? That's the wrong approach. You should be setting the client's preferences to load from your server instead of Apple's.
In either case, there are three components to running Software Updaate.
1: download the catalog of available updates and compare what's installed to the list to identify which updates are needed
2: download the appropriate updates
3: install the updates.
Of the three steps, downloading the catalog is a lightweight process - the index is only a few hundred KB, so the difference in loading this from your server vs. Apple's is minimal. Additionally, this won't make any difference in the amount of time it takes the client to scan for which updates are needed since that's all work performed locally on the machine.
The only step that will be significantly faster is the actual downloading of available updates. These should happen at LAN speeds, rather than your internet connection speed (which is, presumably, slower), but then again, most updates are fairly small - a few megabytes is typical.
However, if no updates are available, or if they're only small, you won't see much difference in time between local and remote. The main advantage of using a local software update server is that you only need to download the updates from Apple once, rather than once per client.

How to configure Automatic Account Clearing for A/R

Hi,
Kindly advice me how to configure Automatic Account Clearing for A/R
The client requirement is
In A/R the customer accounts are not automatically clearing when a payment is posted for that account. We are still seeing all open items and all paid or cleared items when we go to FBL5N and select open items for viewing. Please make account clearing automatic for customer payments.
Thanks in advance

how to configure new account assignmnet group of material
Probably, the question should have been how to create Account Assignment Group for a material.
Go to IMG SD => Basic Functions => Account Assignment/Costing => Revenue Account Determination => Check Master Data Relevant for Account Asignment.
There select Materials : Account Assignment Groups and create as per the requirement and save. Now you can see the same while creating the material master.

TS2446 Your appleid has been disabled - how to reactivate my account? I want to update my apps etc.

how to reactivate my account? I want to update my apps etc.

You might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
You might then need to log out of your account on your iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it
If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

How would I rollback or remove a problematic software update using SCCM 2012?

How would I rollback or remove a problematic software update using SCCM 2012?
Primarily I'm thinking these patches would be Windows Vista/7/8 OS patches, but would include other Microsoft updates as well (eg. Office, etc.).

Hi,
You need to uninstall it using software distribution like a package/program, here is a script that can help you with the uninstallation.

Using the software update created problems

Ok so I bought Leopard and upgraded from Tiger, then updated using the software update. Now I have a whole bunch of problems. My Apple Works is now missing, the program is just gone. All my Adobe programs now give me the error of Incompatible with current OS or some Your Licensing is not working error. I have a whole load of Adobe programs that should be working, like Contribute CS 3 and Photo Shop and Illustrator and Designer and so on. All of which worked under the 4.11 and the 5.1 OSes but now no longer work. This isn't even touching on the elimination of the Classic environment which i have a lot of programs that will cost way too much money to buy again for the new OS.
Anybody know how to get back Apple Works and how to get the Adobe products running again?

First set of problems, I had two software packaged programs go missing. Totally erased from the system. iWeb and Apple Works.
This would not happen after a software update, unless the directory got damaged somehow*:
http://www.macmaps.com/directoryfaq.html
That would give the machine a difficult time trying to find files on the computer.
Next set of problems my external firewire drive stopped being seen from the system.
This most commonly happens if a Firewire hard drive does not have the proper firmware to be used with the operating system in question. This is one reason most people recommend dismounting and disconnecting all third party devices before applying updates. This used to be a more common problem with 10.3, but not out of the realm of experience of people with 10.5.
The next most common cause is the clock battery dying, but not quite dead. Replacing it can fix that problem as well.
I should say that my system consists of several computers networked together.
I would have completely disconnected the computers before applying the update.
I can take my external firewire back up time machine drives and connect them to a PC and see the data. But my macs do not even recognise them, they don't even show up when plugged in.
This is further evidence the firmware on the hard drive was not yet updated for compatibility with the operating system.
Third set of problems, all the apple install disks became unreadable by my system.
This can be commonly caused by a dying optical drive, or bad permissions on the system, or a dying clock battery.
Fourth set of problems, all the Adobe programs became un-useable and returned errors. Adobe has been working with me on this and have been far more helpful than Apple has been.
That's a case of corrupt files, or files which were migrated from another system. Migration that is done improperly from a PowerPC to an Intel system may create issues with powerpc plugins on an Intel Mac. If your hard drive got over 85% full and/or the directory was damaged for any reason (especially forced reboots), that can also trigger such a reaction during an update.
Fifth set of problems just recently discovered, all my stored movies, music and podcast in iTunes is gone.
This is usually due to a directory issue, but can also be a dying hard drive issue.
Sounds like you have multiple symptoms pointing towards a few common possible causes. Directory damage, and clock battery malfunctioning, and needing a better firmware on your Firewire hard drive case. Replacing the hard drive case with a compatible one is simple enough. http://www.macsales.com/ makes the right cases. I would not go with LaCie, Western Digital, or Seagate cases. Western Digital and Seagate internal hard drives are fine in of themselves. Replace the MyBook hard drive cases with http://www.macsales.com/ cases and same with the LaCies.
I have Apple TV and EYE TV and a Midi interface box attached to my G5 mac. My G5 is the one that lost Apple Works and iWeb.
Remove the Midi interface box. It may help things work better.
My systems have the super drive on them and I have virtual PC and Softwindows installed.
Softwindows barely works if at all under Classic, and VirtualPC only works with version 7.0.2 under Leopard. If you got an earlier version working under Leopard you were lucky. You really needed to migrate to a supported emulator under Leopard listed on my FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/macosxnative.html#WINTEL
It says you didn't research your options well enough before upgrading to Leopard. This has been well documented in the forums before this.
Booted up from the Norton disks and repaired disk.
This is the biggest flaw in your plans, which caused ALL your problems. Norton is not compatible with any version of Mac OS X. It eats directories for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Only Alsoft Disk Warrior is safe and only after a data recovery attempt with Prosoft Data Rescue II, Subrosasoft Filesalvage, or Boomerang's Boomerang. We have constantly harped on the forums here that Norton is damaging to data. This has been known about since Mac OS X came out. It has even been called "Norton Kevorkian" by some.
You can't blame Apple for this. Your lack of research and lack of asking in the right places at the right time led to your failures.

How to download older updates in Software Update Service?

Hello,
In our company, we have a mixture of Mac OS X 10.6.2, 10.6.3 and 10.6.4 servers. Due to proxy-restrictions, only one of these servers is able to download updates directly from Apple (this one has 10.6.4 installed). We have set up the Software Update Service on this server to distribute the updates to all other servers and at first sight, it seemed to work fine.
However, we noticed that our Software Update Server is only downloading the most recent versions of all software updates. e.g. Security Update 2010-05 and Security Update 2009-05 are available, but not Security Updates 2009-01 up to 2009-04. They don't even show up in the list of available updates. Since Security Update 2009-05 requires at least 10.6.4 (but Security Update 2010-04 can still be installed on 10.6.2) we're unable to install any recent security update on our 10.6.2-servers.
Is there a way to configure Software Update Service to download older Security Updates? Running a centralized update server offers little benefit to us if it doesn't allow to install security updates on older Mac OS X releases... Updating all servers to 10.6.4 is not an option, as the software running on the servers is not always supported on the very latest Mac OS X releases.
Thanks,
Filip

Thanks for the suggestion. I just tried the following:
- stop Software Update Service
- remove /var/db/swupd/html and /etc/swupd to restore default settings
- start SUS again
- now both "Copy all updates from Apple" and "Delete outdated software updates" were unticked. That should be fine I suppose, as I don't want to download all the updates (e.g. we don't want printer drivers, Final Cut and so no), but only the ones we select. However, we still don't see e.g. Security Update 2010-04 in the list of available updates. Am I missing something here?
2010-05 includes all the previous security updates, I cannot find any reference to a 2010-004 update for Snow Leopard, only for Leopard (10.5). There was a 2010-003 for Snow Leopard, Mac OS X 10.6.4 Update would also have included previous security updates. It looks like there was never a 2010-004 for Snow Leopard.

Every time I use safari, software update etc... spinning beachballs

When I try to use safari, software update, system prefs, calculator etc., basically all of the software included with Panther, I get a no response and that spinning beachball thing. Has anyone had this problem.
I ran /sbin/fsck -fy and I also did a disk verify/repair (permissions also) and I also did a system restore of the applications from my Panther disks.
Adobe, Macromedia, Explorer still work fine.
Help... Please....

With that many fonts you need a font manager. Fontbook is made for casual users of fonts. It is not a professional font manager.
I use Font Reserve. Others swear by Suitcase.
If you are on a budget, completely backed up and want to experiment, try Linotype's FontExplorer. I have played with it but have not switched to it.
http://www.linotype.com/fontexplorerX
It is a beta but free right now. Just don't let it manage your library or system fonts and you should be ok.

Hello everybody,
I use Nokia E51. "If my Russian language is no longer available after using Nokia Software Updater, I need to return my Nokia E51 to a Nokia Care point to have this language reinstated." But I don't know where is Nokia care point and is it possible to reinstate, if I tried to update second time after language was missed?
Please help me,
Sicerely yours)))
Garry

Common problem
you phone was an import originaly meant for another market,
either the importer or retailer added the russian language pack before selling it on
When you connected your phone to NSU it looked at the product code then installed the firmware for its orignal region
this overwrote the installed languages
the only legitimate way of getting your russian language back is to go to a nokia care point and pay to have them do it
You can find your nearest care point by using these links:

How to configure CVC automation process using SNP master data and BI customer master data

Hi Gurus,
How to configure CVC automation in MPOS structure technically, using SNP master data in CVC creation such as Product and location details
and in parallel extract date from ECC to BI customer master data in DP. Where-in a APO BI cube should have only new combinations which are to be validated with ECC and existing combinations in the MPOS structure before creation of CVC in different regions of MPOS.
Second the automation should also check certain validations of product, location and are part of SNP-ECC master data and are these new combinations.
Could someone guide us in this process.
Thanks
Kumar

Praveen,
The short answer is to move the data into infoproviders or flat files for all of the 'characteristic-type' source data; and then copy CVCs from the infoproviders into the Planning area, probably using one or more Process Chains (program /SAPAPO/TS_PLOB_MAINTAIN).
The long answer is that this is not a trivial undertaking; this could end up being a pretty involved solution. If you do not have enough BW/DP expertise available locally to create this solution for you, then I recommend you consider engaging external resources to assist you. I personally wouldn't even consider starting to work on such a solution without first knowing a lot more about the detailed business requirements, and about any existing solutions that may already in place. An SCN forum is not really suitable for such an answer. In my opinion, the BBP doc alone would be 20+ pages, assuming no enhancements..
