BC blog updating for my clients

I'm planning on creating a website with a BC blog built into but I wanted to know how my client will be able to update the blog them selves once i've designed the website? Will they need a BC subscription also to just update their blog...?

Samuel, you seem new to BC, are you sure you want to use BC for a blogging site? There's no capacity to manage the default image and there's limited capacity to manage the Facebook OG meta data per page, so you may find that if viewers are sharing posts via social media that you/your client won't have full control over what data shows up on the feeds. Just a heads up before you go too far down the track.

Central flash update for my client computers

Hi there!
Is there a way to distribute the updates for the flash player over a central station / server? We have 50 client computers in my company and I have to update every single machine.
(I have the same problem with the Acrobat Reader)

Software update for unmanaged clients via Bonjour?? Possible?

Is it possible to update using update server an unmanaged computer on a different sub domain using Bonjour or something else?
I am using the following terminal command and have changed the http:// to my server and I have tried its IP address.
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL http://su.domain_name.com:8088/index.sucatalog
I also have the following services running: AFP, DHCP, DNS, NetBoot, NFS, OD, SMB, Software Update, Web (although not sure if they are configured correctly.)
I have two networks. One is for Admin and one for students. The Admin (running Active Directory) has fixed IP Address starting 192.168.1.XXX and the student one (OS X Server) has 192.168.200.XXX (Assigned by the server automatically.)
Many many thanks.

I would make having a DNS server (or two, for reliability) operational for the specified DNS zones (domains) as part of the plans for deployment on, like, tomorrow. One of the few things that would be ahead of that DNS server deployment would be the plans to get Mac OS X Server to a static address.
Not having stable and valid DNS services on the network means your network can and variously will be wonky, and you can't use ISP DNS on your private LAN.
I will assume that "students.net" and "teachers.net" are bogus domain names. (It's more clear if you use one of the officially-bogus domain names here, example.org, example.com and example.net.) If they're not bogus domains and you're really using those names, then you don't have those domains registered, and you'll want to set up registered domains or subdomains of your school network domain name; whatever the school has registered.
If you're the person running the whole school network here (and don't have a registered domain name), then go register a real domain for your school - we'll call it the example school, and will register example.com, and you can then use the subdomains staff.example.org and student.example.org, and have these be assigned to your two different networks. Hosts can then be somehost.staff.example.org or anotherhost.student.example.org, for instance. Don't understand DNS services? Please read this.
Given you're probably going to need VPNs at some point, I'd also get your internal network out of 192.168.1.0/24 subnet, and over into a subnet somewhere in the private 172.16.0.0/12 or 10.0.0.0/8 blocks. This because VPNs don't like having the same subnet on both ends of the connection, and most home and coffee shop networks on the planet will use the 192.168.0.0/24 or 192.168.1.0/24 subnets within 192.168.0.0/16 block. And this messes up VPN routing.
If the sudo changeip -checkhostname command failed with an error when executed on the Mac OS X Server box (Server, and not Mac OS X client), then check the command syntax.

Intune Command to initiate 'Check for update' for intune client.

Hi ,
I am working with Microsoft Intune and power shell. My target is to automate the process of "check for update"
available at Intune client's Microsoft intune center.
I have found the way to push the command to client using intune but the issue is with the command it’s not working.
%programfiles%\Microsoft\OnlineManagement\Updates\Bin\omupdclt.exe /detectnow
%programfiles%\Microsoft\OnlineManagement\Updates\Bin\omupdclt.exe /updatenow
The reference links are as follows :
https://albertneef.wordpress.com/2012/01/12/windows-intune-commands/#comment-423
http://www.systemcentercentral.com/windows-intune-client-behind-the-scenes-sysctr/
These commands are not getting executed at the client machine. I tried it's execution in administrator mode. Command
is getting executed without any error but check for update is not getting initiated.
Can u please provide me with the way to execute this manually at the client machine?

Thanks for the commands now at least its initiating the Agent.

/AgentUpdateNow;

i have executed the command and it i still giving errors. please have a look at the log file: updates.log

Web Updates for a client after I leave

I am designing a site in Adobe Muse. Love it. But it is a non-profit and I am a volunteer. After I leave and they need to update the site, how will they do that? Do they have to also purchase a monthly plan?

Hello,
In order to make changes to the .muse file that you would be creating, they need to have Muse installed on their computer either as a Trial (which lasts for 30 days from the day of install) or a Subscription version (monthly plan).

10.9.x Server software update for 10.10 clients

Hi - We have a 10.9.x Server running Software updates. Simple question...will 10.9.x server download updates for 10.10 clients? I can look at the logs but I am lazy. Thought I would post a question here. Thank you

Hi chwhite97,
If you are running Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) Server for your software update service, it can only provide updates for Mac clients running 10.6 through 10.9. See this article for reference -
OS X Server: Software Update Service compatibility - Apple Support
If you wish to update your server so that it will support Yosemite clients, it would need to first be updated to Yosemite itself, available here -
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/os-x-yosemite/id915041082?mt=12
Once this is done you would need to update the server's software, available here -
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/os-x-server/id883878097?mt=12
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Transparent software update for 10.8

Is it still possible for 10.8 and it seem update is done through apple store. If anyone configure it successfully, mind to share?

Yes, as of the release of Server 2.2, as long as your machines are all on under the same external IP under a NAT, a transparent update server for both App Store software and Software Updates can be accomplished through the new "Caching" ability.
Basically you set your dns &host file up as with transparent software update servers for 10.6 and 10.7 to gather updates for those clients who aren't running mountain lion, http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20071009082248452 , and the caching ability of the server will handle the rest automatically.
The only negative is that you cannot control what updates are enabled or disabled for mountain lion clients.

Hi Susan. I hope there's a better 'fix' coming to replace this "uninstall the updates, restore, then reinstall the updates after the restore". This kind of workaround requires that all of us remember that there's a problem
with KB3023562 and KB3004375 from now until the end of WS2012E. Not sure I'll remember this 6 months from now when the problem crops up during a restore. -:(

Updated to Adobe Muse 2014 this morning and have worked in it for the last 8 hours. Now when I try to publish the updated site to Business Catalyst for my client to preview it crashes everytime. I have tried just publishing altered files only, then tried the whole site again, and then tried publishing as a new site altogether. Thought I would then try to export as HTML in the hope of uploading the files via an FTP client and Muse crashes and locks up again. I am extremely stressed about this as I am in the last few days of of website I have been working on now with no issues since December. We are due to go live and my client needs to see it. I am desperate for an answer. It is not looking good. I am on an Apple Mac and have not had any isses publishing it for the last 6 months. Not very happy to say the least. Need desperate help.

Hi Zak, I got onto Adobe Customer Care Live Chat this morning and gave them the error message. After some trouble shooting with them it appears the older archived file of the site still publishes. I have now reverted back to the old file and copied and pasted out of the new file and from some ideas given to me by support I am now able to publish to Business Catalyst. It seems there was something corrupt within the new pages added yesterday. I have no idea if this would have still happened if I hadn't updated but I am glad it wasn't a Muse specific problem. I am loving using Muse and the support from Adobe has been excellent. Thanks everyone. By the way I do love the new version and apart from this hick up that lost me a few hours, aged me some more and gave me grey hair I really love Muse. Thanks again.

Status for the transferred Suppliers is not updated in ROS client!

Hi all,
We are running on SRM 5.0(Sp6).After i transfer the propects from ROS to EBP and when i convert them to VENDOR in EBP,then the status of the suppliers become "RELEASED" in EBP but the status is not updated in ROS client.
What is to be done so that once the prospect is saved as a VENDOR in EBP,its status should be updated /set as RELEASED in ROS client too?
Any help is appreciated...Points will be rewarded.
BR,
Disha.

Deepti / Ramakrishna,
As per Rama's comments, the BP status is released only when we use SUS and the information is passed via XI. However in our case we have ROS (without SUS) and EBP in same client. In this scenario XI is not required to transfer the Business partner status as per OSS note 1134978.
So any idea how do we change the status from ACCEPTED to RELEASED?
Deepti - in one of the thread you did mention about a workaround to update the status? Did you manage to crack it?
Do you recommend having separate client for ROS, so that system automatically trigger XML message by standard?
Regards,
Sandeep Parab

SCEP definition updates for clients in DMZ

Hello,
I do want to enable SCEP definition updates for small group of clients in DMZ (apprx 30 -40)
I have created a separate AD OU and SCCM collection for such computers.
Google shows me different ways like using Definition Update Automation Tool, WSUS, scripts, shares etc, and I am quite confused for which way to adopt.
can any one suggest me which is the best automated way?
I do have SCCM 2012 sp1 and all win 8 cleints.
Thanks in Advance

You can use whathever method you prefer. All will most likely work. As there's already Configmgr in place I'd use it to do this job. ADRs (automatic deployment rules) can be used to automate this process.

Skype for Business Client update

Hi,
First of all let me get this out of the way "Microsoft Office 365 support sucks".
now the simple question:
If office proplus is installed via portal (through on-click run), how does it get the update for skype for business?
I have over 1000 users and its not feasible to run the updates via an office application on each machine.
(Note: getting update does not mean UI change. it simply means the client is updated and ready to accept the UI once it is allowed via csclientpolicy in a update Lync server environment).
(Note 2: the useless O365 support says it will come through windows updates; I have done multiple tests on different test machines and that is not correct. Another technet says office proplus updates are done through scheduled tasks. Even if the office automatic
update task runs, the client does not get updated with new Skype for Business.)

Hi Atif7865,
Please check out this thread
http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/172/t/345370.aspx
“Q2. Where can I download Skype for Business since it does not appear to be included with the Office365 download file? ====================== A2. You need to manually update your Office application,
then you will be able to upgrade to Skype for Business. You can to do this on your Outlook client: Open your Outlook client ->
FILE ->
Office Account ->
Apply updates”
And this issue is more related to Office 365 application,
we would like to give a hand, but we are not the specialists in this filed. Thanks for your understanding.
Best regards,
Eric

Email notification for blog updates

Are you kidding me? Wordpress, and everyone else offers email notification for blog updates. But iWeb doesn't? There is no widget we can use or anything? Just the RSS subscribe button provided? I even tried going through Feedburner, but that doesn't help. You would think iWeb would offer what is pretty commonplace these days. Help?

The iWeb blog is not very good or user friendly - you need to have access to a Mac and iWeb to update it.
I don't use it myself, preferring to create my own blog in WordPress. On my old website I used to display my blog as an iframe on my site, but now that I have updated my site, I just create a link to it from my site and it opens in a new frame.
I find it a lot easier than using the iWeb blog - you can update online and I would not consider using iWeb blog until they improve it in updates to come.

Cannot enable "Updates for other Microsoft products" on WSUS client

i cannot enable the checkbox "Give me updates for other Microsoft products when I update Windows" ("Microsoft update" instead of "Windows update"). If I enable it and press ok, the GUI stalls a bit and the check is removed.
Installing updates from the wsus server works. The client is a 2012 R2 install.
From Windows updatelogs, it is clear the client attempt to connect to <HTTPS://sls.update.microsoft.com/SLS/{9482F4B4-E343-43B6-B170-9A65BC822C77}/x64/6.3.9600.0/0?CH=521&L=en-US&P=&PT=0x7&WUA=7.9.9600.17404> when I try to enable

This is not allowed by firewall/proxy, so this obviously fails.This server is located in a secured vlan and should not have access to internet in any way. I suppose client should fetch the .cab from wsus?

I can set the cab path myself if I use
vbscript to register the microsoft update service, but I don't know which cab url I should use for this.
I've used the same install image before, but I think all servers had access to internet (via proxy) when doing the first windowsupdate. this is no longer allowed. the image is an MDT installation image that attempt to enable the Microsoft update setting
with vbs as described in link above.
Please advice how to resolve this issue.

I was not aware if that, thanks! Is this documented somewhere?
Well, no, not really. Presumably there is no need to do so. The two environments use completely different classification methodologies which have almost zero relationship to one another.
The issue is this is checked for in the server security audit, all servers have this setting, but this one hasn't. I will need to be able to motivate/proof this point to our security department.
I would say your security department maybe needs to do some of their own self-education on how Microsoft's patch management system has worked for the past twenty years, and more recently, how it has worked with SUS/WSUS for the past eleven years. This is not
new stuff! :-)
Also odd is that on this server I only have one service in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update\RequestedAppCategories.
Don't really know much about what's in the ~\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate key either as it's also irrelevant to the WSUS environment.

App Store keeps asking me to download update for "Remote Desktop Client Update 3.8.2 v1.1 but I have never purchased Remote Desktop Client

Hi, the App Store keeps asking me to download the update Remote Desktop Client Update 3.8.2 v1.1 but I have never purchased Remote Desktop Client so I am unsure why it is asking me to and worry that someone is trying to spy on me! Does anyone know why this is? Thanks in advance!

I find it interesting that since Screen Sharing is available, and works "just fine" that a Remote Desktop Client would be needed to be installed.
I installed it, but I'm not sure why.
I found the updated application in /System/Library/Core Services/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent
Which is also where the screen sharing and vnc bundles live. I clicked on it to see what would happen -- nothing.
I found these ports in another discussion
TCP and UDP port 3283
TCP and UDP port 5900. (Also used for Screen Sharing in OSX 10.5 and later)
port 22
This page confirms their use along with the use of other ports:
TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software products - Apple Support
Additionally TCP port 5432 is used by ARD
Having recently noticed (through "network utility" that my computers have had a "ton" of open connections.
This severely hurt system performance.
I note that neither my Airport Express nor my Mac can set up a firewall on these ports.
While I haven't noticed the ARD ports being used, I cannot help but wonder if this is set up for a CIA/NSA backdoor into my computers.
On a less paranoid level, perhaps Apple is planning on adding on-line help to debug our problems in "real-time". ;-)
