Best practise for installing patches for SCCM Client 2012 (Both x86 and x64)) - OSD and Client Push Installation

Hi All,
What is best practice for automatic installing of SCCM 2012 client Patches
(using Patch switch) during installation of SCCM 2012 clients? The challenge is that now there are two versions of clients and updates (x86 and x64).
I need information for:
OSD
Client Push Installation
Thank you in advance.
Regards,

Not everything that can be or is supported or not supported is documented (or ever can be):
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/jj643252.aspx
Your expectation here needs to be adjusted. No one recommended contacting support. William just mentioned that *if* you have an issue and needed to contact support, they may decline to help you because you've done something explicitly unsupported.
For clientpatch, here's the specific documentation noting it as unsupported:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrteam/archive/2009/04/08/automatically-applying-hotfixes-to-the-configuration-manager-2007-client-during-installation.aspx
Additionally, I've also been in contact with the sustained engineering folks responsible for the CUs and they've reinforced the statement.
What can happen? Who knows? Microsoft does not test against unsupported configurations and features -- that's the definition of unsupported. It's not tested so no one really knows. They did find a couple of explicit issues (outlined in that post above) so
know that at least those exist and probably more since it is, as mentioned, abandoned code.
Why does it matter what can happen though? If the folks who write and support the code tell you shouldn't do it, you are simply asking for problems by doing it. Ultimately, you're asking a question that has no defined answer (except "bad"/unsupported things)
that really doesn't matter if you follow the explicit guidance. If you don't, as William points out, that's a risk for you take and an answer for you to discover.

Best practise BW Query design for Crystal Reports integration

Hi all,
I am looking for a guide on best practices when designing a BW Query to be used as data foundation for a Crystal Report.
The scenario is that I am responsible for developing the Crystal Reports part, but not the BW Query part, therefore I would like to provide a list of best practises to the person who is responsible for the Query, this way make sure that the integration will work as good as possible. The setup is of course using BO Integration Kit for SAP.
An example is how to use authorization variables in the query to provide data security. This is just one example, there are problably a number of other things to be aware of. A document containing suggestions for best practices is what I am looking for, or if the document does not exist, input to what should be on such a list.
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Rasmus

Hi Rasmus,
in regards to the Best Practices for Crystal Reports you can leverage all the knowledge you have on the Query Design today already. if you not the person for designing the query I think it is important to make sure people designing the queries do understand how Crystal Reports is leveraging the elements from the BI Query.
/people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2008/02/19/businessobjects-and-sap-part-2
You should try to put as much as possible into the BI query from the logic point of view.
and you can also build common BI queries - there is no need to build a BI query for each report.

Cannot install patch for cs5

While trying to figure out a problem minimizing files, which turned out not to be a problem, I discovered a patch for cs5. I could not install the patch. I then uninstalled cs5, re-installed it, shut off my virus protection, downloaded the patch first with firefox and then with explore and when win zip opens the downlaod and i go to install the patch I get an error message.
I have a Dell Inspioron, Windows 7 Home Premium,
Any help?
Thanks

That was still pretty terse.
It's not a problem to copy the entire log and post it here. Often times deep in the log there will be an error message that helps identify the problem.
With so little info to go on, these very generic suggestions come to mind:
1. Clear your Internet cache and download the update again to ensure you did not get a corrupted copy.
2. Close down all other software on your computer while installing, including temporarily disabling your antivirus.
3. If you have XP, make sure you're an admin. If running Vista or Win 7 run the installer As Administrator.
Note: If disabling your antivirus software helps the install process, you should consider tearing it out entirely and getting a better antivirus package.

Script for installing patches manually from a folder

Dear Team,
Due to some restrictions, i need to execute each patch by double clicking on it.
Request someone to help me to find a script which can look in side folder and install the patches inside and ask for reboot at end.
It should also write status of patches installed or not in to a log file.
Thanks
Rama

These are MS Windows patches, say for server 2012.
this is a simple batch file am using for monthly patches. But now there are servers in staging area of DC which are required to patch with all missing patches from last 1year or so. We got all the patches in to a folder, and need to run against each server.

HP Solutions for Install Errors for HP Officejet 6500

I recently purchased a new laptop with Windows 7 operating system. My printer is 2 years old. Windows 7 located and initially installed the printer. It worked fine at first, but after I changed the black ink cartridge, the printer would no longer print in black. Pages come through, sounds like they are printing, but they are blank or with some color (depending on the document). I have downloaded HP's install of this printer's software (took over 3 hours), seemed fine, but now it's back to no black print. I have tried to reinstall (again), but it gets stuck installing the wireless. HP sent Solutions for install, icon. Suggests disconnecting and shutting printer, modem, and computer down, then using printer install CD and reload. I have the CD, but it doesn't work with Windows 7. What to do?

This article should help resolve your blank pages:

Should ESW&UCSS be bought for "installed" or for "used" licenses?

Hi all,
we have a new installation (not an upgrade) of CUCM 9.1. For example, we have 100 UCL Enchansed users and 100 CUWL Standard users. Last year we bought 100 ESW&UCSS for UCL Enchansed users and 100 ESW&UCSS for CUWL Standard users.
Now we would like to renew service contract, but the total amount of licenses in use has been reduced by a half. Now we use only 50 licenses of 100 available for both types of users.
Should we buy 100 ESW&UCSS for "installed"(available) licenses or 50 only for "used" licences?
Does the type of user matter?
Thank you!

Hi,
You need to buy UCSS and ESW for specific users like CUWL standard/enhanced.In your case, u are using only 50 for each user type.
regds,
aman

Error numbers are 2502 and 2503 for installing iTunes for Windows 64 bits. How to fix?

Hey guys,
I cannot install iTunes (latest vision) on my new laptop (Windows 64 bits), and it says that the error numbers are 2502 and 2503...
Can someone tell me how to fix this?
Thank you!

Check your system date & time is correct.
Run the System File Checker: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833
If you still have problems try a creating a new user account with administrator rights, log into it, and attempt the install from there.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

The wifi: No hardware installed issue is bad, I hv both my Mac Pro 13 and 15 inches affected. Can assist?

I have 2 Mac pro running on OS Lion and both faces airport down issues.

iTommy, I have a MBP 15" new in February with the same problem. It ran fine under Snow Leopard, which it came with. I installed Lion and it worked fine for a few weeks. It then wouldn't connect to any wifi. I followed many forums and tried everything they suggested. Deleted network settings, no change. I deleted the wifi interface in a new location, no change. Over the weekend I installed a new ssd drive in my laptop and installed the original Snow Leopard software that came with the computer and there was no wifi. I installed Lion from the USB installer I bought from Apple to see if that did it, no. Did the update to 10.7.1 with no wifi hardware still. I deleted the Library/Preferences/Network folder to force the rebuild and it didn't work. I just found this posting and this will be my next try. Here is a link to the discussion...

Manual for Installing Patch 27 for EP6.0 SP2

Is there anyone found the installation manual for EP6.0 SP2 Patch 27 according to Note 774779?
It seems that SAP didn't publish the patches and the installation manual at the same time.
Message was edited by: li dong

Hi Aviad,
it is not at least not for "public" non-SAP...
Does somebody care?
Strange enough, there doesn't seem to be a controlled process of publishing patches / notes / doc at the same time (happens quite often).
Best regards
Detlev

Dump in SAP after installing patch for Doculink of Opentext ECM

Hi,
We have installed Add-on of Doculink for Opentext ECM on ECC6.0 System. We have installed (new version 9.6.2) it from Open-Text (3rd party vendor).
01) Open Text DocuLink for Livelink Enterprises
02) DocuLink for Livelink Enterprise Server
03) Open Text Archiving and Document Access
04) Open Text Archiving and Document Access for SAP Basis
After transporting the patch DC3.1-001(instruction of patch) which we found from open text site of https://esc.ixos.com/ we are getting dumps in SAP that: Program is not Unicode-compatible.
Error analysis
The following syntax error was found in the program /IXOS/SAPLDC_C:
The program /IXOS/SAPLDC_C is not Unicode-compatible, according to its program attributes.
Can any one tell me how can this transport be reverted back from Open-Text 9.6.2 ?
Thanks & Regards,
Nikhilesh Ray

is not Unicode-compatible
Have you tried to disable the unicode check?, It might work.... In anycase I think you should give IXOS a call, I presume they have seen this issue quite a few times :-D

Cannot install patch for Photoshop CS5

I have downloaded the free trail of Photoshop CS5 and had the 0xc000001d aplication error. I tried to download the 12.0.1 patch, however I get this error: Error loading Updater workflow.

Under some conditions completely removing the app, reinstalling, and immediately running the updater has been successful. I realize that's not trivial to do.
Hope it works for you.
