Auto-Update without password prompt?

I have several 10.7 laptops that I administer for my company.  Can I get the system to auto-install updates so the users without admin rights don't have to come to me for a password?
And, can this be done with things like MS Office for Mac?
Thanks.

This can now be done in the 15.1T branch using cisco.com to download the update directly, see :

  • Go from manually update to auto-update without losing songs?

    I was trying to delete some podcasts from my ipod, and was following the directions on the help menu which told me to go to preferences and choose manual update, then delete. I tried it, and it didn't work. When I decided to go back to auto update, I received a message that everything on my ipod would be deleted and the update would be just what is on the itunes on that machine. I have more than one computer, and have itunes on each one. There are different songs on each computer. If I go to manually update on this computer, it will erase the songs I've put on from other computers. All this and I still have the unwanted podcasts. Can anyone help me to go back to auto-update without losing songs? If worse comes to worst I guess I'll have to update, lose the songs, and then re-update at my other computers. thanks.

    Afraid that's not possible. If you go to auto-update, the iPod gets cleared and replaced with the current contents of the iTunes library.

  • Applescript "with administrator privileges" and without Password prompt

    i,
    I have to configure some phone settings in the central VOIP/VPN/Gateway Router via a ssh (with certificate) command.
    There is only a option to allow or disallow the ssh access in the router. Therefor I wrote a applescript to allow only the specific ssh command "set /Setup/Voice-Call-Manager/Call-Router/Call-Routing/". To avoid the configuration access for anyone and to hard code passwords I have to execute this script with root permissions (do shell script "/usr/bin/su - " & user & " -c " & "'" & cmd & "'" with administrator privileges"). In any other unix implementation I can use "chmod 4755; chown 0:0". Even I compiled the Applescript and stored it as Carbon App, I get a user/password prompt.
    How can I avoid this prompt or authorize the script/app in any way?
    Thanks Henri

    I agree, but to use the private key of the applescript caller opens any user the ability to change any WLAN key, VPN settings or delete the admin account, not a good idea....
    Therefor I would like to run the applescript with root, "su - <adminuser> ssh router set ....".
    This restricts the access to the router config to this applescript and I would like avoid the hard coding of the root password in the applescript.
    I tried also the add the command to /etc/sudoers, this work fine from the command line but how to call "sudo applescript" from the desktop without entering the admin password?
    Thanks

  • Logon with multiple users goes directly into user without password prompt?

    I upgraded to Lion after Hard drive crashed and was replaced by apple even though I had Lion OSX they insisted that I upgraded which I eventually had to do.
    The problem is as follows:
    When PC is intially turned on the User selection screen does not appaer and the system goes straight into the first account created without password validation. All accounts setup have PW added to prevent my kids from accessing th PC. However if I loggoff the user screen appears and PW must be used. This does this on ever restart or turn on. Tried resetting & re adding the accounts but same issue occurs.
    Any help on this issue will be appreciated.

  • IOS IPS auto-update without CSM

    Hi,
    We have 400 x 1811 router on which we need to update the IPS signature definition and custom signature.
    What is the best way to do it withou running CSM ?
    According to Cisco documentation, we need to add the auto-update command with an .XML extention. But when we load a .pkg in a router, the output is 4 different files. Unfortunalty we can auto-update only one file. Which one to I need to load on our TFTP server ?
    All the exemples of Cisco are using one single XML file.
    Does a single file with the signature defenition, category, default and type exist ?
    Since all our router have the same IPS config, I tought I could use one router at the central office with the configuration we want. And by someway asking the remote routers to auto-update their XML file on that router on which I would have activated a TFTP server.
    Anyone ever had to upgrade a lot of router IOS IPS signature?

  • Allow Domain Users to install without password prompt

    When accounts that are members of Domain Users want to install or remove a program from the computer, UAC prompts for administrator password. Is there a way through GPO default domain policy to allow people to install and remove programs if they like? Also, maybe restrict certain software to NOT be removed?

  • App updates without password?

    Hi everyone,
    I have an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 5S. When I have app updates available, my iPhone 5S updates the apps without having to enter my Apple ID password. On my iPhone 4 I have to enter the password everytime - very tedious.
    I have compared all security settings (including Restrictions) on both phones and they are identical. I have read that this was changed to not ask for the password anymore for app updates and free apps in iOS6. Could it be that my settings got currupted or something during one of the iOS updates (I've had it since iOS4).
    Cheers for any help offered.

    Tap Settings > General > Restrictions
    If have it set to:  Require Password set to 'Immediately'
    You will have to enter the password for all updates.

  • CANNOT RUN UPDATES WITHOUT PASSWORD

    I HAVE PURCHASE A USED APPLE IBOOK G3 VIA EBAY,AND AFTER FINALLY GETTING IT CONNECTED TO MY EXSISTING INTERNET IT SAYS THAT 1.I NEED TO RUN UPDATES,WHICH I TRIED TO DO BUT IT REQUIRES A PASSWORD AND BEING THAT I BOUGHT IT USED,I DON'T HAVE ONE AND NOTHING I'VE DONE SEEMS TO WORK. 2. THE MEMORY NEEDS TO INCREASED...IS THIS POSSIBLE?
    I AM NOT VERY COMPUTER ORIENTED,SO ANY HELP THAT YOU CAN PROVIDE ME,I WOULD BE MOST GRATEFUL!

    Welcome To  Discussions calabilly!
    Exactly which model iBook G3 is it?
    What is the Processor speed?
    What size is the Hard Drive, and how much free space is available?
    How much RAM is installed, and is it original or added?
    What type of internal Optical Drive does it have?
    If you have the system restore/install discs, use the instructions here Reset Admin Password.
    If the previous owner did not include the discs, contact the seller and request they be furnished.
    Or if you can call Apple Customer Service 1-800-767-2775, and provide the serial number of the iBook, you may be able to purchase replacement original system discs.
    However, those will be for the version of OS, that was pre-installed when manufactured.
    But, they will contain the bundled software, that is not included in a Full Retail Version, of a newer OS X. The Apple Hardware Test, specific to the Mac model, will also be included.
    If the original OS, is lower than the current installed version of OS X, you will also need to purchase a corresponding Full Retail Version, of the desired system.

  • Auto Update Prompt

    We're using Windows 7 in Server 2008 AD. We keep getting the update prompt.
    I have GPO set up with mms.cfg to be sent to user's machine, with these settings in it:
    AutoUpdateDisable=0
    SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1
    AutoUpdateInterval=0
    I want to auto update, just silent. How can I get Flash to auto update, and not prompting anyone?

    This is one of the many frustrating issues with SCSM. The Enumeration type must match the property type of the field which will be mapped to the answer. Unlike a Simple List where the answer is presented in plain text and stored as a string, the enumeration
    is of an explicit MP Enumeration type and must match the mapped property field type. SO, extend the Request Template with a field of the apporpriate List Type.
    Dear Microsoft, it would be really nice to have a simple drop down based on an Enumeration and presented as a String, or like above, connected to a DB...or even a CI without the cumbersome grid that accompanies a Query Result.

  • AnyConnect failing to auto-update upon connecting, requires a re-install

    We recently upgraded our 5510 at one of our clients to ASA software version 9.1(5), and after that was up and running and stable, we decided to upload the newest AnyConnect package files to the firewall for VPN users to get updated to the latest version.  
    The VPN connection is setup with radius authentication, and it has been working perfectly for a few weeks now.  But just to add, when we had 8.2(5) software on the ASA and would put newer versions of the web deployment package on the ASA, clients trying to connect via VPN would auto-update without a problem.  Same with Mac's.
    So with the new software on the ASA, I ran a test from my home office, I uninstalled AnyConnect and installed an older version, 2.5.x.  I then tried to connect via VPN with the thought that it would automatically update my VPN client to the version of the client on the ASA which is 3.1.05178.  I watched it connect, ask for my active directory credentials, it would connect, then check for updates, and then say it was downloading an update.  Shortly after, AnyConnect popped up a window saying "The VPN Client Agent was unable to create the interprocess communication depot." and I have to click Ok.  Basically what happens here - http://www.itsystemadmin.com/the-vpn-client-agent-was-unable-to-create-interprocess/  but I do not have ICS turned on on the network adapter or any of my network adapters.
    After clicking ok, it shows me the AnyConnect window, but the program is now partially non-functional, it is there, but the connection address is gone and if I enter it and click "Connect" it gives me an error immediately.  
    What I then have to do is go onto the ASA, remove that newer package and upload an older one.  Then I re-install the VPN agent on my computer and re-connect, it doesn't find any update because I'm now running a newer version on my computer than the one that is on the ASA, and it connects fine.
    I've tested this with a few employee laptops and they experience the same thing.  I'm not sure if there is something that isn't compatible between this latest ASA software and the 5510, or what the issue is.  I have tried putting slightly older versions of the web deployment package on the ASA and I still get the same problem.  The problem is when the client computer is running an older version of AnyConnect and the ASA has a newer version, it fails upon initial connection and ruins the AnyConnect program and it has to be re-installed.

    Feel lucky.  Lot of people are having wifi problems with 8.x.
    You should try to update from iTunes.  iTunes requires less space on your machine for the update.

  • What do you do if you can't remember your password for the auto updates?!!

    I see no way to upgrade my browser without going through the auto updates section and I can't remember the password!!

    Should be the same as your log-in password.

  • Auto-update: invalid user name / password

    Hello,
    I have changed out the CCO username and password for an IPS configured for auto-update but cannot get the IPS to correctly update its signature any longer.  I have verified that the CCO login is correct and that it can download a signature file directly using a web browser interface. However, every attempt to get the IPS to update automatically results in the following error:
    Auto Update Statistics
       lastDirectoryReadAttempt = 15:05:29 UTC Mon Sep 29 2014
        =   Read directory: https://72.163.4.161//cgi-bin/front.x/ida/locator/locator.pl
        =   Error: invalid user name/password combination
    (Note: I have the URL set to 'www.cisco.com')
    Thanks,

    FYI - just to close my own issue.
    The issue was resolved by using the cli to set the values and perform a one-time update. Once that was successful, all future signature updates have worked fine through the gui.

  • Deploying JRE 1.4.2_12 without auto update enabled

    I am deploying JRE 1.4.2_12 to a large number of client machines with both Windows 2000 and XP. I need to do this in a way that the auto update prompt will never appear. This could cause a large number of support calls from the users and it's best if they are never asked to install updates.

    I got problem when i write a program to read chinese
    excel sheet with jre 1.4.2_12, chinese will encoding
    incorrect in java, but when I change jre version to
    jre 1.4.2_10 or jre 1.5.0 update 7 , everything s ok
    . any solution?
    p.s. jexcelapi 2.5.8Hi Vencent,
    I am also seeing encoding problems with 1.4.2_12 and havent been able to find a solution. Did you find a solution to your problem? If so I'd appreciate it if you could post it.
    Thanks,

  • Can you accept 7.2 update without authorizing auto...

    Hi--running SK 7.1.0.105 on an updated Windows 8.1 Toshiba PC.
    I have a conference call later today, so when I saw the update I wanted to get it over and give the system hours to crash, blue screen, stop using audio or video--the usual things I have come to expect from updates. 
    The new Wizard starts with authorizing auto-updates.  I backed out to find another screen.  I made sure auto-updates are not on. I don't allow auto-updates on anything anymore, because I lose work, have my machine freeze, etc.
    Windows 8.damned doesn't like auto-upgrades.
    Can you upgrade without this feature, or do I have to attempt to freeze at this level, and either look for another program, or wait for MS to realize that this was a mistake?
    I realize that all Win 8.1 users have been left hanging in the wind, but thought I'd check, and hope.

    I also would like to know how to opt for non-auto update!!
    This is reidiculous. I totaly HATE autoupdate features.
    I do all my updates manually Friday afternoons so I have the weekend to fix my MS **bleep** in case it **bleep**es up! (Not as often these days but it still happens.) There are users in need for auto update I get it. But not having the option is totally NOT ok.
    Also as a MS win 8.1 phone user I would like to know what happened to skype for windows phone? At first I was all giggly about how nice the integration with the phone and skype worked. I few bugs and some things needed some polish but a lovely total experience. Then what happend? NOTHING! The development team totally must have gone home. Today Viber is more integrated with the phone! Your contacts in the same place as you normaly would want them just for startes. COME ON MS/Skype. get back in the game PLZ!
    It would be nice if a representative for Skype would comment on this.
    Regards
