How to export and import "Computer Groups" and "Patch approvals" in WSUS 4.0 ?

Hi,
I have a query regarding the export and import options for "Computer Groups" and "Patch Approvals" in WSUS 4.0.
In WSUS 3.2 once we install WSUS 3.0 API Samples and Tools, we get "WSUSMigrationExport" and "WSUSMigrationImport" tools under
C:\Program Files\Update Services 3.0 API Samples and Tools\WsusMigrate\ folder.
Using the 'WSUSMigrationExport' tool we can export the Computer Groups and the Patch Approvals in a XML file. And using the 'WSUSMigrationImport' tool we can import the 'Computer Groups' and the 'Patch Approvals' from that XML file into a different WSUS
3.2 server. We can run the import tool as below:
a. Run command prompt as administrator.
b. In the command prompt, go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Update Services 3.0 API Samples ans Tools\ WsusMigrate\WsusMigrationImport
c. Type WsusMigrationImport filename.xml TargetGroups None. Press enter; this will import Computer Groups to the WSUS 3.2 server.
Type WsusMigrationImport filename.xml Approvals None. Press enter; this will import "Patch Approvals" to the WSUS 3.2 server.
This is easy and useful.
Now, for WSUS 4.0 I did not find "WSUS
4.0 API Samples and Tools". So I installed "WSUS 3.0 API Samples and Tools" in my WSUS 4.0 server. And tried to import a valid XML file in the above mentioned process. But the command returned an error.
The error says the "Microsoft.UpdateService.Administration.dll" file was not found.
I further searched in the internet about this issue and I found that the "WSUS 3.0 API Samples and Tools" is not supported in WSUS 4.0 as the .net framework used in "WSUS 3.0 API Samples and Tools" is 2.0 and WSUS 4.0 uses .net Framework
4.5.
So, Here are my questions.
1. Is it correct that "WSUS 3.0 API Samples and Tools" is not supported in WSUS 4.0?
2. Is "WSUS 4.0 API Samples and Tools" available?
3. Is there any alternative way in WSUS 4.0 to export and import XML file consisting "Computer Groups" and "Patch Approvals" configurations?
I need an urgent reply. Thank you in advance.

Hi Tapojyoti,
>>1. Is it correct that "WSUS 3.0 API Samples and Tools" is not supported in WSUS 4.0?
Yes, WSUS 3.0 API Samples and Tools is not supported in Windows Server 2012R2 by default. We may try to rebuild it in Windows Server 2012R2. For detailed information about how the rebuiled, please refer to the readme document of the WSUS 3.0 API Samples
and Tools.
>>2. Is "WSUS 4.0 API Samples and Tools" available?
No, I can't find the WSUS API Samples and Tools for 2012R2.
>>3. Is there any alternative way in WSUS 4.0 to export and import XML file consisting "Computer Groups" and "Patch Approvals" configurations?
As I have mentioned above, due to WSUS 3.0 API Samples and Tools is released with source code, we can try to rebuild it in the Windows Server 2012R2.
If it doesn't work, as a workaround, we can configure the new WSUS server as the replica server of the existing WSUS server. After the synchronization, change the server mode to stand alone.
Best Regards.

Export and Import Computer Groups

Two Monday mornings in a row the Open Directory on our Intel-based Xserve's Mac OS X 10.5.7 Server had failed. This would mean that users who were supposed to have specific access right to folders and share points on other Xserve file servers couldn't get their files or had full access instead of restricted access. The first Monday a restart resolved the issue. The second Monday a restart did not resolve the issue and we opened a case with AppleCare Enterprise Support. We got it up and running again but it failed on Friday during the day. Another call the AppleCare Enterprise Support had me export all my users, user groups, computers and computer groups as a backup.
In the end, I had to do an erase and install of Mac OS X 10.5 server and I updated right to 10.5.8. AppleCare pointed me to the (now Snow Leopard) documentation and told me that now that the server was running and nothing was "broken" and they could not continue to support me. It was up to me to figure out how to restore everything from the documentation. Unfortunately, that document has NOTHING in it about restoring computers or computer groups. It only documents users and user groups. Our user groups were restored with the import of the previously exported list. However, all of the computers in our computer groups appear in the membership list as "Not Found". The preferences/settings for the group were restored but are not being applied to any computers. This means that portable users probably no longer have "mobile" accounts so they can log in off the network and now the Software Update is wide open (although most users are not administrators).
Is there some trick I'm missing to get the computers back into their groups automatically? I can add them manually but I have 400 and can't tell from the list of workstation numbers which are laptops and which are desktops.

I just had the same problem, I've updated to 10.6.8 yesterday, and since then the browsing are very slow, no matter what broswer I am using, the upload download speed are still the same. But browsing just take forever, It takes for example google.com 30 seconds to load. I have Extream high speed internet connection, 3 other computers, and the only one is having this problem is the Mac after the update.
Something in this update screwed my browsing capabitilties, I tried downloading Crome browser, same issue.
I hope there is a way beside TimeMachine to revert the latest update. I don't want to reformat as I am sure as soon as I am going to do the update it will cause the same problem.

Exporting and Importing OIM Groups

Hi
I am trying to export and import OIM Groups from one environment to another.
It looks like some of the details of the groups (such as Administrative Groups details) are missing after the import.
Any ideas?
I will assign Points. Thanks
Regards
Vijay Chinnasamy

Hi Kevin,
Thanks for the note.
I found that during my import, it asked me to provide "substitutions".
Once I click, "Cancel Substitutions", the other data is there.
I think duirng my previous import, I clicked on "Next" too soon..

How to export iPhoto Album in iMAC and have similar folder structure(with Timestamps) which can be viewed in finder

How to export iPhoto Album in iMAC and have similar folder structure(with Timestamps) which can be viewed in finder
In simple terms, I wanted to view the photos in Windows system, similar strcture of iPhotos

If you want to copy all of your photos to a Windows machine and have them in folders representing the iPhoto Events the were in quickly and easily just do the following:
1 - open the library with the Finder as shown in this screenshot:
2 - COPY the Originals/Masters folder to the Desktop.
3 - copy the Originals/Masters folder to the Windows machine.
This will give you all of your original image file in their Event folder on the Windows machine.
NOTE: With iPhoto 8 or newer the Event folders in the Masters folder will be titled by date (EXIF) if imported from a camera. If imported from a folder the event folder will have the same title as the source folder. If imported singularly or in a group without a folder the title will be a date, either the EXIF date or import date.
With iPhoto 7 (08) and earlier the Event folders in the Originals folder will have the same title as the Event has in the library.
This method would be quicker but not provide the additional metadata you might have added in iPhoto like keywords, titles, descriptions that exporting out of iPhoto with Format=JPEG and the checkboxes selected to include keywords, titles, places, etc, checked.

How can I get the second group and report totals in Matrix report?

Hi,
I have created a matrix report with 2 break Groups.
Iam getting columns totals for the first group, but not for the second group and the report totals.
How can I get the second group and report totals for each month?
Thanks.
Ram.

Hi Ram,
If you want a total at any group-level, go to the particular group in the data model, insert a summary column in the group, and select
Reset At > appropriate Group Name
For report level summaries, you must create the summary column outside of all groups.

Is it possible to export and import the roles and users tables?

Hi,
is there any possibility to export and import the role and user definitions?
We have a SAP MDM repository with a lot of roles and users and also with a lot of changes.
And now I'm searching for a fast and efficient way of managing the roles and users.
Thanks and Regards, Melanie

Hi Melanie,
There is no export/import functionality for roles and users. The only way to manage these in an automated way would be to write a program that uses the Java or ABAP APIs. Both APIs expose functionality to create, update and delete roles and users.
Hope this helps,
Richard

Hi, How to export my Photoshop Elements 8 and Premiere 8 Elements from my old PC to my new PC

Hi, How to export my Photoshop Elements 8 and Premiere 8 Elements from my old PC to my new one - both are Windows 7???

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for reply.
I want to transfer/export/bring over images and videos to my new PC.
I have one licence (and disc) in my old PC for Photoshop Elements 8 and Premiere Elements 8.
Separately I have one unused licence (disk) for Photoshop Elements 10 and Premiere Elements 10.
I also then need to understand the smartest and easiest approach to:
Either I export software 8.0 and images and videos from old to new PC
- Or
I install version 10 on the new PC and then transfer/export/bring over images and videos to my new PC.
Great if you are able to guide me in this.

How to export ALL my contact groups ( 20) from Outlook 2010 on one machine to Outlook 2010 on two other machines

My problem is how to export ALL my contact groups (>20) from Outlook 2010 on one machine (finally established with great pains from a more user-friendly client) to Outlook 2010 on two other computers. All the help files I've seen refer to
export/import of only a single Group.
Outlook seems to be an extraordinarily limited and user-hostile environment for managing an address book. By way of comparison, the Mulberry client I've been using for years (which is no longer supported) run circles around Outlook for ease of
handling -- everything in the address book, groups and individual, can be exported and imported in a single file. My computer support staff have warned me about the difficulties of handling groups in Outlook. Is Microsoft really that incompetent,
or just sadistic ?
Thanks for your help with this.

After a lot of screwing around I finally hit on a solution, which is to export and import contacts using a .pst file (which transfers both individuals and groups) rather than a .csv file -- which transfers only individual contacts but leaves groups untouched.
Why isn't there a clear and simple message from Microsoft saying this in all the so-called Help files on moving contacts in Outlook?

Exporting and Importing Logic groups

Is there a way to export the Logic group from the UAT and import them in the Prod ?
Many thanks foryour ideas

There is an Export/Import command in the File menu. I have only used it for the entire app, but there is probably a way to just do pieces.

hi,frank
thank you.
You know a page include a .jspx file,a page definition file and depend faces-config.xml,faces-config.oxd_faces and other I don't know information,so if i only put the first two file into cvs,but how can i get other information in the last two file?When I get the first two file and needed information in the other file,how can i merge these into new project and let jdeveloper "reconize it"?Applicaion is more complex,it not only depend its self java class,xml and many entity object and view object,how to handle the "export" and "import" process?Just like oracle form,only a fmb is enough,database object only need to "put into database","export" and "import" are very simple,so i need jdeveloper to supply these "import" and "export" function.I'm not familar with cvs,does it can know object dependency like application module?if it can,how to let jdev "reconize" imported in object?

How & Where to create the Target Groups and Transport Targets for Business

Hi Experts,
I am Transporting the scenarios from Development 500 client XI system to Development 500 client PI7.1 system. I have taken the exports of Technical system and Business System from the DEV XI system and correspondingly have imported the same in the PI7.1 system. I can see the all the business system in the Business system SLD of the PI7.1 system. I would like to assign the Business System Groups and Transport Targets for every business system that I want to transport. How can I do that ? Whether this is to be done in DEV XI system or the DEV PI system? Can somebody elaborate the step by step method to create the Groups and Target system for the every Business system so that I can import the object of the Integration Directory sucessfully................................
Thanks & Regards

Edited by: sukande on Aug 17, 2010 8:18 AM

Hi Supriya,
Thanks for the reply and good illustration............Still going further after defing the destination for transport in the source SLD Business system ( XI dev server) , then we should export it and subsequently import it in the SLD of the PI 7.1 ie the destination server. Then we should transport the objects of Integration Repository and Integration Directory to the new PI7.1 server. Is this the right way to proceed.? Hope that this will not give the error while importing the objects in Integration Directory. An typical which comes while importing the objects in the Integration Directory is as follows:-
*Import failed because of business system transfer of object Communication Component | PCM: Obligatory transport target for business system PCM not found in System Landscape Directory*
Pls clarify on this ......
Thanks & Regards
