Automate Client upgrade from 7.0 to 7.5

How can you automate the ZAM Client upgrade from 7.0 to 7.5? If I run the setup.exe for 7.5 it generates an error saying a previous version was detected, please uninstall it first. I would have thought there would be some kind of upgrade switch.
Thanks

Clarification of "Automatic Client Upgrade" in Hierarchy Settings

Hello all, I am looking for clarification of "Automatic Client Upgrade" in Hierarchy Settings. I am SCCM 2012 R2 CU1. It says the latest version is "5.00.7958.1000" My CU1 version is actually "5.00.7958.1203".
From reading various other users forum questions regarding this issue I have learned that this upgrade will only work for "Major versions". That should be why I don't see the same versions. My question relates possibly more generally.
I am in the process of building and configuring the SCCM 2012 R2 CU1 (site code: IT1) environment. I have a running production SCCM 2007 R3 (site code: IT0) environment, with a different side code. I am not ready for these older SCCM 2007
R3 clients to be upgraded to SCCM 2012 R2 CU1 as I am still testing and finalizing things.
If I enable the "Automatic Client Upgrade" in Hierarchy Settings for 2012 R2 CU1, could someone better explain which clients this affects?
Will it upgrade my old SCCM 2007 R3 clients to SCCM 2012 R2?
Will it upgrade anything outside of the SCCM 2012 site IT1 (if I had two SCCM 2012 sites with different names)?
Will it upgrade an SCCM 2012 client to SCCM 2012 R2?
Will it upgrade an SCCM 2012 SP1 CUx client to SCCM 2012 R2?
Will it upgrade an SCCM 2012 R2 client to SCCM 2012 R2 CU1? (from what I have read, NO)

Will it upgrade my old SCCM 2007 R3 clients to SCCM 2012 R2?
No
Will it upgrade anything outside of the SCCM 2012 site IT1 (if I had two SCCM 2012 sites with different names)?
Since we cannot have two sites with the same name in a hierarchy I assume these are two different hierarchies. The setting is for a hierarchy wide and works by creating a scheduled task for client to get the package via policies. Though I have not tried
this but logically it should not.
Will it upgrade an SCCM 2012 client to SCCM 2012 R2?
On the same hierarchy,Yes!
Will it upgrade an SCCM 2012 SP1 CUx client to SCCM 2012 R2?
On the same hierarchy,Yes.
Will it upgrade an SCCM 2012 R2 client to SCCM 2012 R2 CU1? (from what I have read, NO)
You are correct. CUs are not a major release and a separate client package is created and you need to manually target them to the clients to get it upgraded.

SCCM 2012R2 Automatic Client Upgrade - mandatory / forced restart?

We've upgraded our SCCM environment from 2012 sp1 to 2012R2.
If I check the box under site settings (Hierarchy settings) for "Upgrade client automatically when new client updates are available." What is the installation / restart behavior? Will it only occur during a maintenance window if one
exists and will it force a restart?
# When I wrote this script only God and I knew what I was doing. # Now, only God Knows!

Automatic upgrade is a great feature, but not much in this World is perfect.
Clients in slow or unreliable boundaries, are not upgraded automatically.
Here is a brief overview over what happens when you enable this feature:

Client Upgraded from Tiger to Leopard Can No Longer Connect to Tiger Server

I just finished upgrading a G5 2GHz DP Powermac from Tiger to Leopard. This was an Archive and Install upgrade with importing the old settings. After verifying the account migration, including .Mac connectivity, and fixing all 3rd party software compatibilities/upgrades, I tried to connect to our Tiger 4.11 server by clicking on the server's Icon in the Shared section of the Finder Sidebar. The finder then switches to browse the the server for shares: "Connecting..." is displayed under the tool bar, with a "Share Screen..." and "Connect As..." buttons to the right.
At this point the "Connecting..." remains displayed with the spinning circle in the bottom right of the Finder window.... spinning. This situation continues for several minutes until is seems the system gives up.
If I click on the Path button on the Tool Bar, and go up to the Shared level, ALL the Shares on the Network are displayed, including all the Tiger Client machine shares. I can click on the triangle beside the Tiger Client's icon, and all the drives and home directories on the Mac are listed. All the client shares can be accessed without any issues. NOTE: There are no other Leopard clients on the LAN.
Prior to the Leopard upgrade, this client could connect to the Tiger server as well. All the other clients on the LAN can access the Tiger server also.
On the Leopard client I have tried clicking and the "Connect As..." button and using the menu "Connect to Server" and specifying the server's IP, and I get the same "Connecting..." message with a "non-connecting" result.
I can only assume that somehow the Account Name and password are not being passed correctly. But, using "Connect As..." should resolve that. However, "Connect As..." does not give me a user/password window!
If I check the AFP Access log on the Server, the only messages displayed are "Mounted Volume..." No messages in the error log, and no messages in the "Connections" section.
Can anyone help me figure out why the Leopard client can not connect to the Tiger Server?
My apologies if the description of my problem is a bit disjointed. I have been thrown into server admin and am learning "Trial by Fire".
Any help or suggestions on how to resolve this issue will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Gary

OK. A quick update.
After waiting for about 10 minutes for the rotating circle in the bottom right corner to stop, I was able to click on the "Connect As..." button. It took another 10 minutes, but the Connect As window eventual popped up. I entered the Userid and Password (saving to Keychain) and was able to see all the sharepoints on the the server. I browsed all the connected drives and folders without issue.
I then disconnected from the server. Reviewing the AFP logs on the server shows messages for the connection Login and Logout.
I then tried to reconnect to the server, and again another 10 minutes wait, although this time the Leopard client eventually connected automatically with the proper User, as per the AFP logs confirms.
Although, the client can now connect to the server, for it to take 10 minutes will be unacceptable to management, not to mention the end user. Tiger clients can connect in a couple seconds!
Is there a way to reduce the Leopard login time to, say, a couple seconds, like it does with the Tiger clients?
Again, any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Client upgrade from 10.1.0.2 to 10.2.0.1.0

Hi,
I am new to Oracle and trying to upgrade Oracle Client from 10.1.0.2 to 10.2.0.1.0, after looking at the documentation it looks like that I have to uninstall current installed version and install new version to upgrade. This sounds strange to me, I am primarily an AIX admin and in AIX one of the upgrade procedures is called preservation upgrade, which lets you keep old configuration but upgrade the OS. I was wondering if there is a similar procedure in Oracle where I can upgrade the software but keep the current configuration and at the same time I dont want to run two copies Oracle client to achieve this task. Please advice.
Regards,
Satish

You can install 10.2 Client in another Oracle Home (or even another OS user). When this one is working you can remove the old one, if needed.

Will the APP be launched automatically after upgrade from iTunes?

Hi All,
I noticed that before iTunes upgrade any APP, it will kill the APP first. So I'm doubting if iTunes will automatically lauch the APP after that.
Does anyone know about it? Is there any official doc about this? Appreciate any help I can get.

Have you tried the standalone installer?

Exclude Servers for Automatic Client Deployment/Upgrade

We have 2012 SP1 and are planning the move to R2. We have automatic client upgrade enabled in the site settings. Is there a way to exclude Server OS client upgrades while this feature is enabled? In my reading there are times when the client
upgrade will reboot the systems at will due to a pre-requisite installing such as a security update.
We cannot have the servers rebooting at will. It will be difficult enough to have workstations do it.
Thank you

No. There is no way of excluding specific systems from the automatic client upgrade. It's all or nothing.

Config Manager 2012 client upgrade (via package with batch commands)

Hello all,
I would like to kindly ask for your help with my question regarding a SCCM 2012 R2 client upgrade (from RTM to R2)
Recently, we have upgraded from RTM version of SCCM2012 to R2 (with the PXE hotfix applied)
During the process, I have choose not to upgrade clients when the SP1 was applied and go straight for the R2, which is not a problem I believe.
My question is regarding the pre-created packages, that are showing up in the console. I believe, that they are the easiest way to upgrade clients via packages in SCCM. (we can't push the installation due network policy)
This hotfix is stored here: \\"FQDN_site_server"\SMS_TSP\hotfix\KB2905002\Client\x64 (in case of x64 version, x86 is the same but x86 in the end)
The executed file from this path is this with this command following:
msiexec.exe /p configmgr2012ac-r2-kb2905002-x64.msp /L*v %TEMP%\configmgr2012ac-r2-kb2905002-x64.msp.LOG /q REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=mous
Anyway, when we install the clients when we deploy it for the first on a machine, that has no client or we reinstall it, we do it with help of this batch command:
set curdir=%~dp0
%curdir%ccmsetup.exe SMSSITECODE=TSP /NoCRLCheck /UsePKIcert /forceinstall SMSMP=HTTPS://CML.LTSPRAGUE.CZ CCMHOSTNAME=CML.LTSPRAGUE.CZ
I just need to know, if I can use the prepared package from the console in our case and if it will keep the settings when the package is deployed.
I belive I have found a similar questin here on the forums:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c9b40687-1843-44c7-b61b-fd26d53ab90b/cumulative-update-3-and-agent-upgrade?forum=configmanagerdeployment
The second answer might the answer I'm looking for, but can you explain that to me like I'm five years old? :)
Please, let me know.
The IT guys from LukOIL

I'm not sure, because of my short time at the company, but there are historical security reasons for setting the push installation off.
Second reason are strict firewall rules used here. SCCM Agent may contact site server through HTTPS - that is a one way communication, so push installation isn't possible.
Don't mix "client push" and "automatic client update". See
http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgr_geek_speak/archive/2013/09/09/using-configuration-manager-automatic-client-upgrade-to-upgrade-to-the-latest-system-center-endpoint-protection-client.aspx for further details. (And yes, the article talks about SCEP, but
it also tells details about the entire process)
Torsten Meringer | http://www.mssccmfaq.de
Thank you for the article and your, but I find it easier to deploy packages right now.
I have found out, that there is a folder named "ClientUpgrade" in ConfigMgr installation folder.
I used this and made a package out of it. Deployment went fine as well as the installation of the upgrade for the client, but there is a problem now, that I don't see any software in the "Software Center" in "Available Software" - and there should be, since
I have may SW pointed to me and the list was populated before I have done the upgrade to the new version.
This may be a simple problem, but I really don't know what's wrong.

SSIS Oracle 11g 64 bit client upgrade Issue

After the oracle client upgrade from 10g to 11g, the ssis jobs are getting failed for the BadImageFormatException. Attempt to load Oracle client libraries threw This problem will occur when running in 64 bit mode with the 32 bit Oracle client components installed.
But the same package with same system requirements and same sql agent configuration is wroking fine in DIT. Please find below the system configuration in both environment.
DIT
Oracle Client - Oracle 11g 64 bit , Microsoft SQL Server - 32 and 64bit, Windows machine - 64 bt SP4, In job there is no configuration in command line to run in 32 bit mode since we are using the are using the .Net Provider/OracleClient Data Provider connection manager to the database .
UAT :
Oracle Client - Oracle 11g 64 bit , Microsoft SQL Server - 32 and 64bit, Windows machine - 64 bt SP4, In job there is no configuration in command line to run in 32 bit mode
In UAT, Everything looks as DIT but the job is not working fine in DIT.
I have gone through all the thread related to 32 64 bit, .Net Oracle client provide but i haven't found any solution for this problem.
Can you please tell me the missed out configuration in DIT and UAT? the exact problem for this issue ? what is the oracle components required for this connection? Its urgent.
What is missing in the oracle end?
Thanks
Satheesh

32 bit apps will need 32 bit Oracle client software installed.
Hope it helps,

Upgrade from XI 3.0 (SP17) to PI 7.0 (SP12): Best Practices

Hi mates,
I've a few questions regarding the upgrade to PI 7.0.
If the upgrade process is done in phased manner i.e. DEV, QA, PRD in that order over a period of 3 weeks,
How do we handle the transports from DEV->QA->PRD when DEV is 7.0 and QA & PRD on 3.0 using CMS?
Will there be inconsistencies when transports are moved, because a few features could be different or internal representation of IR/ID content could be different in 3.0 & 7.0?
What are the upgrade best practices, phased manner or all at a time?
Please throw more light on this. I appreciate the inputs from people who've helped clients upgrade from 3.0 to 7.0. Any SAP documentation related to this?
I looked at the thread Transports from XI 3.0 to PI 7.0 but the answert is very generic, w/o any supporting documentation and real time experience.
thx in adv

Im my experience you should implement a change freeze for this period, with the exception of emergency transports - and these have to be justified.
> Will there be inconsistencies when transports are

Full regression testing will be needed on each interface. If you implement a change freeze this process becomes easier
>
> What are the upgrade best practices, phased manner or
> all at a time?
Allow plenty of resources to fully test every interface, as you would with any upgrade.
You could also take the time to implement the new <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/80bbbd55-5004-2a10-f181-8bb096923cb6">CTS+</a> for this new version to avoid any further transport issues (PI7.0 SP12 +). A new method for a new system!
Also, how is your SLD set up for XI? This can have an impact.

SP1 to R2 Client Upgrade via SUP

Hi,
Currently planning an upgrade to R2. We currently only deploy clients via SUP (SP1) then update clients to the CU by using SCUP. A WMI filter then disables Windows Updates for clients where the installed version of the client is >5. This
is to prevent auto updates interfering with software updates delivered by CM.
I am planning to roll out the R2 upgrade also via SUP by amending the WMI filter so that it looks for clients less than the R2 version, which will re-enable automatic updates and pull down the new client.
I am aware that I could also use the automatic client upgrade option, but where servers have maintenance windows I could see this never running during a MW.
Any comments/thoughts on this approach?
Thanks

Hi,
Could this maintenance windows work fine when you deploy other updates to the same clients?
Please examine MaintenanceCoordinator.log, ScanAgent.log and ServiceWindowManager.log on the client.
Best Regards,
Joyce Li
We
are trying to better understand customer views on social support experience, so your participation in this
interview project would be greatly appreciated if you have time.
Thanks for helping make community forums a great place.
Yes, they will, because other updates are deployed with a deadline. The automatic update method uses a scheduled task which may not tie in with the MW, and so will never run.

Can't uninstall HP Client security in order to upgrade from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10

I have HP Probook 450 G2 and my Computer wants to upgrade from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. But when it begins the upgrade process, I get the message, that 'HP Client Security manager' isn't compatible with Windows 10 and that it must be uninstalled. In order to uninstall it, I first must uninstall HP drive encryption. But to uninstall 'HP drive encryption' all partitions must be decrypted. I have two partition encrypted. hp drive encryption successfully decyrpted C partition with windows, but it can't decrypt H: partition (it has 60 GB data from my dropbox account). In Drive security it says H partition it's decyrpting, but there are no %. Only gray bar. It's been so for 5 days now. I tried to encrypt the H partition again and it did it in 1 second. After the reboot there was a sign Encrypted next to the partition lettter. I than again tried to decrypt H partition and it again won't do it. There' s only a gray bar without % and a sentence that partition is beeing decrypted next to the drive letter. I must decrypt this partition in order to uninstall 'HP drive encryption'. 'HP drive encryption' must be uninstaled in order to uninstall 'HP Client Securtiy Manager'. 'HP Client Securtiy Manager' must be uninstalled in order to upgrade from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10.

Actually it's H partition that hp drive encryption is decrypting 5 days now (without % sign). I have only my dropbox data there. I could format that partition and downlad the data from dropbox again (it would take 1 day to download 60 GB of the data again from dropbox). D partition is HP recovery partition but I don't have any problems with it yet (i made a letter mistake in first post). I also made HP recovery media on USB stick. Will hp drive encryption automaticaly update the status of H partition from 'Decrypting' to 'decyrpted', if I format the H: partition? Will drive encyrption login window (WinMagic’s Pre-boot UEFI) (before the windows login) automatically be removed, if I format the H: partition? Will FilterBootOrder (FBO) variable automatically be removed, if I format the H: partition?I imagine this is automaticaly done via decrytion of all partitions/disk in HP client security (which doesn't work correct at my computer). Maybe afterwards the H: partition is formated and HP drive encryption status updated, I can then uninstall hp drive encryption and hp client security and install win10. This is another option.
