Microsoft Update server list

Hi All,
As per our organization policy, we have to only the access from our WSUS server to Microsoft Update servers. I need a list of IP address/segment pool of Microsoft Update servers over Internet. Our firewall only supports IP addresses/ports as the criterion.
Our firewall DO NOT support any FQDN/URL/wildcard. Could you help me please?
Thanks,
高麻雀

Hi Milos,
Thanks for your quick reply. We can try my best to check the IP addresses of the FQDNs frequently. However, the prerequisite is I know the FQDNs. But from the information you shared to me, I can see there are wildcards in the URLs. In this case,
how can I check the IP addresses of these FQDNs (I don't think network monitor is a good solution)? Or can I understand that package filtering based firewall (IP address/port based firewall) does not support Microsoft Update server list? And we also have
to change our firewall to support URL with wildcards? But how to deal with the HTTPS URLs which are encrypted by SSL? Or we have to violate our policy to enable the full Internet access for our WSUS server?
Thanks,
高麻雀

Problems with Microsoft.Update.Session on Windows Server 2012R2

Hi, I've created a script for collecting Windows Update information using the "Microsoft.Update.Session" comObject.
I got some problems collecting data from certain servers, but I don't understand what can be wrong.
In this example I got "DC1" and "DC2", where DC1 is a Windows 2012R2 Core, and DC2 is a Windows 2008R2. Both has installed updates previously.
The problem is that the Microsoft.Update.Session won't return the installed updates from "DC1", using the identical commands as on "DC2".
Commands used in this example:
$updateSession = New-Object -ComObject Microsoft.Update.Session
$Searcher = $updateSession.CreateUpdateSearcher()
$PendingUpdates = $Searcher.Search("IsInstalled=0 and Type='Software' and IsHidden=0")
$PendingUpdates = $PendingUpdates.Updates
$Installed = $Searcher.QueryHistory(0,1) | select -ExpandProperty Date
Output from session DC1:

Anyone got an idea of what might be wrong?
Thanks!

Hi Objectclass,
The updates you query from DC1 (Windows Server core 2012 r2) is different from DC2 (Windows Server 2008 R2), because firstly these two servers have different operating system versions so they apply different updates, and DC1 also have less updates than DC2
because of server core edition.
Fewer installed features means fewer features to patch and maintain, Server Core has been available since Windows Server 2008, and historically we've noted as much as 35-45% fewer patches needed on Server Core installations.
Refer to:

Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 Cumulative Update 7 Setup - Active Directory Topology service on server 'TopologyClientTcpEndpoint (localhost)' returned an error - Set-SharedConfigDC

What am I trying to do?
I have tried installing Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 Cumulative Update 7 Setup on a fresh install of Windows Server 2012 R2 but it gets stuck when running the setup exe on Step 8 of 14 “Mailbox Transport Service” I have included full
error logs at the bottom of the page but the basics are in order it will throw which loop around are:

Exchange is currently running in the envirmonet on 2010 Sp3 I am installing 2013 CU7 fresh so I can migrate the databases over.
What am I running?
2 X DC on domain and forest functional level 2008R2 both writable
1 X fresh install of Windows 2012 R2 which is domain joined
What have I tried?
Checked Ipv6 is enabled on all DC NICS and Existing Exchange Servers
Rebooted every server
Run setup as Administrator
My account is part of the domain Enterprise Admin group
Tried adding "Exchange Server" or "Exchange Enterprise Servers" to the group policy and doing the relevant gpupdate /force and reboot :
Computer Configuration Windows Settings
Security Settings + Local Policies
User Rights Assignment Mange auditing and security log
Turned off firewall on DC and Exchange Server even stopped the service
Turned off all AV on the DC and Exchange Server
Checked I could telnet to global catalog servers on port 3268 which I can
Checked the global catalog records existed in DNS which they all do
Done the obvious ping tests all round which confirms connectivity
Schema has been prepared using appropriate commands before running the setup exe
setup.exe /PrepareSchema /IacceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
Making sure the following path has full permissions:
EXCHANGE14:\Current\Release\Shared\Datacenter\Setup
Restarted Microsoft Exchange Active Directory Topology service
DcDiag all looks good
What have I noticed that is suspicious?
Microsoft Exchange Transport service will not start even though both of its dependences services have started:
Microsoft Filtering Management Service
Microsoft Exchange Active Directory Topology Service
It will eventually error with
“Windows could not start the Microsoft Exchange Transport Service on local computer
Error 1053: This Service did not respond to the start of control request in a timely fashion”
This error is from the GUI wizard itself:

System Center keeps changing Microsoft Updates to previous upstream server

1. Previously we configured the SCCM2012 R2 to talk to an upstream server which has now been decommissioned.
2. We did the following to tell the SCCM2012R2 to go to Microsoft Update for updates by
a. Clicking on Administration Workspace > Site Configuration > Servers and Site System Roles > Select the Primary Site Server> Clicked on the Home Ribbon > Configure Site Components> it shows that the SCCM2012 is configured to
Synchronize from Microsoft Update.
b. On the Windows Server Update Services, > Options > Update source, it is set to

We have uninstalled and reinstalled the SUP but the problem still persist, SCCM2012 keeps configuring the WSUS to talk to the upstream server, this resulted in we are unable to get the latest Endpoint definition updates to distribute to client computers.
Please advise, thank you

It sounds that you've been in the WSUS console before and configured it that way, but I'm only guessing here. In your case I'd uninstall the SUP and then remove the WSUS role from the server. Re-add the WSUS role and only perform the initial configuration.
Then install the SUP again and configure it from the ConfigMgr console only.

Exchange 2013 Sp1 says that it is 'Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 Cumulative Update 3 Unattended Setup'

So, I have decompressed my brand new download of Exchange 2013 SP1. This was downloaded from the link at the bottom of the post.
So to start my upgrade I have tried to start by running the schema preparation which then advises me that I am welcomed to:
'Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 Cumulative Update 3 Unattended Setup'
Is this poor QA or was the incorrect file uploaded?
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=41994

Hello,
Powershell need full path to file you want to run.
So you should run .\setup.exe instead of just setup.exe.
Hope this help.

Why can't I delete mail or move mail to a folder. This started after mail host microsoft update to their exchange server

We recently moved our mail from an in-house server to an outside hosting service. It was working well until we returned after Christmas. The mail host explained that they had received a Microsoft update to their hosting servers. Now we get an "ERROR 12" code and cannot delete mail or move mail on any of the IMAP folders. I tested the theory on Outlook and the mail deleted fine and was able to move to folders and it synchronized without issue. How can we fix this on Thunderbird?

Outlook connects to the server using emapi Thunderbird uses imap. So a comparison is nothing more than a waste, or did you explicitly set up an imap account in Outlook?
Please create an IMAP log https://wiki.mozilla.org/MailNews:Logging
I did find an [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=741374 old bug] that indicates fasthost had incorrectly configured servers (is that your provider?) with a workaround.
It is difficult to diagnose exchange imap issues because they do not use any of the standard error codes or messages. But a log should at least provide information on the command the server does not like and that makes a good starting point.

MS14-055 security update for Microsoft Lync Server 2010

hello
after applying this security update do I need to Apply it to the back end database? or is that just when regular patches are applied?

Hi totalnet32,
From http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2493736, we know that
"After you install the update for the Core Components server role on a Lync Server 2010 Enterprise Edition front end server, the updated SQL database files are dropped to the computer that has the Core Components server role installed.This
also applies to a Lync Server 2010 Standard Edition server. To apply the database changes, run the following cmdlets:
Install-CsDatabase -Update -ConfiguredDatabases -SqlServerFqdn <EEBE.Fqdn> -UseDefaultSqlPaths
2982388
(https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2982388/ )
MS14-055: Description of the security update for Microsoft Lync Server 2010 (Response Group Service): September 9, 2014
2982385
(https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2982385/ )
MS14-055: Description of the security update for Microsoft Lync Server 2010 (Security update for Standard/Enterprise edition Server): September 23, 2014
There's no Core Components server role update, as far as my experience, the DB update is not required.
And I suggest that reboot the Lync Servers once after the updates have been installed.
Best regards,
Eric

Mavericks update not listed in software updates on server

I have several Mac clients enrolled with OS X server. They are set to look to this server for software updates to reduce bandwidth usage. When they search for the update, it is not available. The 10.9 update is not listed in Software Updates inside of OS X Server.app. Any ideas on how to import that so my users can download it?

A generational OS upgrade like Lion to Mountain Lion, or in this case Mountain Lion to Mavericks has never (and still is not) been counted as a software update and hence is not available via Apple Software Update Server.
Even though it is now free it is still done via the App Store. If/when a Mavericks update comes out e.g. 10.9.1 this will only update earlier Mavericks versions so will not help you. However as Mavericks is free for all compatible Macs the following are solutions you should be able to use.
Greg Neagle of Disney Animation Studios and the author of the administration tool Munki, has written another tool called createOSXinstallPkg which will let you take a full operating system as downloaded from the App Store and convert it in to an installer Pkg file which you can 'run' on a Mac to do an operating system upgrade.
See http://managingosx.wordpress.com/2012/07/25/son-of-installlion-pkg/
I don't know if it has been tested or if it will work but in theory it would do Mavericks as well as Mountain Lion. You could therefore (hopefully) use it to build a pkg and push it to your clients via for example Apple Remote Desktop Administrator or Casper or something else.
In terms of bandwidth saving, while as mentioned above a Mavericks upgrade is not available via Apple Software Update Server and therefore running your own SUS will not help, you can run Apple's Cache Server which is another module in Server.app this will cache downloads from the App Store including the Mavericks download and thereafter anyone else requesting it will get it from your local cache.

Include updated website lists from Microsoft - Not greyed out

Hi,
As per description of the Group Policy setting "Include updated website lists from Microsoft" on GPMC console, by disabling this setting, the Microsft-provided lists are not used and the user will not be able to activate the feature.
If you disable the setting under "Policies\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Compatibility View\Include updated Web site lists from Microsoft" the checkbox is detached but it is not greyed out.
I have tried to set the policy under Computer Settings, User setting and also making a Registry edition under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\BrowserEmulation by setting "MSCompatibilityMode" to "1" but the behaviour
is still not the desired.
Does anybody know if there is any way to grey out this setting?

Hi,
This policy controls the website compatibility lists that Microsoft provides. The updated website lists are available on Windows Update.
If you enable this policy setting, the Microsoft-provided website lists are used during browser navigation. If a user visits a site on the compatibility lists, the pages are automatically displayed in Compatibility View.
If you disable this policy setting, the Microsoft-provided website lists are not used. Additionally, the user cannot activate the feature by using the Compatibility View Settings dialog box.
If you do not configure this policy setting, the Microsoft-provided website lists are not active. The user can activate the feature by using the Compatibility View Settings dialog box
my comments:
the check for updates to the MSCVL is done the FIRST time the iexplore.exe process is started...
Try rebooting the computer or closing all open IE processes to see if the changes have taken effect.
Check if you have installed and activated Enterprise Mode which will over-ride any MSCVL settings.
Please provide a link to the website where you are seeing the 'undesired' behavior....
the google Plus web page plugin can change outcomes for x-ua meta determination.
Regards.

Potential dynamic server list updating problem in cluster

We are running a cluster of four Windows 2000 Server boxes under WLS
          6.1SP2. We have seen the following behavior in our cluster. We shutdown
          a cluster member and then bring it back up. When it comes back up, the
          IIS plug-in seems to start routing all requests to that new server.
          Out cluster seems to have some multicast connectivity problems, e.g. we
          often cannot see managed servers on the admin. console, etc. What I'm
          wondering is whether the server when it comes up could be telling IIS
          that it is the only cluster member because it isn't aware of any other
          members. This would explain the plug-ins sudden affinity for the new server.
          Is this possible? Has anyone seen this?
          Thanks in advance,
          Coty
          P.S. The box that is being restarted and then hogging the requests is
          also the server where the admin. console is running. Could that be the
          issue? What exactly are the implications of running a managed server and
          the admin. console on one box?


Is it that the admin server is also part of the cluster and is the server
          that is being restarted?
          Try to have the admin server for purely administrative tasks and not as part
          of a working cluster.
          If you have Debug set to ON in the plugin end, try checking the server list
          http://IISServer:port/dummyQuery?__WebLogicBridgeConfig
          This should return the dynamic and static server list that the IIS proxy is
          supposed to forward.
          Check before restart and after restart.
          Also contact support to get the newest ISAPI plugin that contains latest
          fixes.

The itunes update server could not be contacted. Ran diagnostic and followed many support reccomendations with on success.

For at least the last 36 hours I have been unable to download updates from the itunes server for either itunes itself, or for iOS for my iphone (I need this since I am locked out of my phone). I was able to get around the problem of not being able to update itunes from the itunes server by downloading 11.0.4.4 from apple.com instead, but I don't believe I can do this for the latest iOS.
I have tried troublshooting from the support instructions for hours with no luck. Itunes is the only program that is having internet connectivity issues. I have tried disabling windows firewall, completely uninstalling my antivirus, and logging in/running itunes as an administrator. I have purged my hosts file and made sure that LAN settings are set to auto-detect. I have rebooted my router. There are no third party programs running that filter internet connections.
What else can I try?
Specific error message:
"The itunes update server could not be contacted. Please check your internet connection, or try again later."

I have completed the Advanced iTunes Store Troublshooting workthrough and my problem persists.
For reference I will detail the steps I have followed from the Advanced Support link iOS *08* provided above.
Isolate the issue:
1) the problem is with iTunes (I can connect to other secure websites, including the apple webpage + login).
2) verified the problem is not with the network (other devices on my network can connect and download iTunes updates).
3) I cannot resolve the problem by connecting to another network.
4) I have created inbound and outbound rules to allow all traffic to/from ports 80, 443, 3689, 5297, 5298, 5353, 8000-8999, and 42000-42999. I have allowed these ports full access to all network types and all programs. I have also made sure that all apple products, especially itunes, are allowed in the list of windows firewall exceptions.
5) My date, time, and timezone are correct.
6) I am using iTunes as an administrator. I have posted the results of the diagnostic network tests above in my Original Post.
Blocked by software Firewall:
I have allowed an exception in the firewall for itunes and bonjour.
It seems to be the case that:
"If there's no firewall preventing access, but the iTunes Store still does not work while other Internet services (websites) work, the iTunes Store may be blocked by your configuration."
Blocked By Configuration:
I have run iTunes Diagnostics (results above) and the "Secure link to iTunes Store" section did not pass
I opened IE, made sure I am "Never dialing a connection"
My LAN settings are set to "Automatically detect settings"
I do not have any proxy settings
I have unchecked "Check for server cerificate revocation*" under Advanced IE properties
I have enabled "Use SSL 3.0" and "Use TLS 1.0"
I saved and restarted. Still no joy.
Rebuild Network Information
I flushed the DNS Resolver Cache
As mentioned above I reset the host file to default, and also tried to alternate method outlined in the support document involving creatings a "Copy of hosts" file and moving, editing, and returning the file to drivers/etc.
I then restarted.
Please Help! This is getting rediculous!

"itunes could not contact the ipod software update server because you are not connected to the internet" Help?

Hello all, new to the forums.
I've been recieving the error message "itunes could not contact the ipod software update server because you are not connected to the internet". This problem didn't occur at all for the past 2 years of using itunes.
I've already scanned through numerous websites and forums for help, but none of them worked.
This set of instructions resulted in no change to any of the problems, though iTunes lists that as the supposed solution.
# Open Internet Options from control panel.
# Click the Connections tab.
# Click the LAN Settings button.
# Select the Automatically detect settings checkbox.
Others include installing IE7, which that didn't work either.
Can anyone help?
