Change request: Make Software Center separate Available Software vs required software

Hi!
Our Campus is currently working with SCCM 2012. We have been getting client feedback on it that I felt should be shared with the community. 
Clients are getting confused when required software updates and available updates are nested together in Software Center. Where they assume all of it is required.
Is there a way to make by default available software not nest with the required software in Software Center for our clients?
I know we have the Application Catalog, but it feels limited in controlling on which machines software is released too and only focuses on Who.

This is really close to what I am looking for. Where if I'm understanding it correctly this will hide the required deployments.
I'll talk it over with my co-workers to see if it would be a decent mitigation.
Ideally I'm looking for to see both the required and available software but in different tabs/views (so it is really apparent what is required and what's there for them to use optionally).
I really appreciate all the help!

  • Unable to make changes to your software when executing software in SC

    I often got below error when trying to execute software via SC. The package is successfully distributed to my DP and I can confirm that the client machine trying to execute the software is within the managed boundaries configured in the console.
    I don't know what else that I need to look at to troubleshoot this. What are the log files to look at? execmgr?

    Check the boundaries the client will be in and make sure it's reporting back ok to the 2012 site

  • Unable to make changes to your software

    Hi,
    We have an SCCM 2012 client (Vista pc) which was upgraded (SCCM 2007 => 2012 via client push).
    We deployed a task sequence with OSD Windows 7. This worked fine untill now.
    Suddenly we get the message "Unable to make changes to your software", None of the applications you tried to install began installation succesfully.
    There is no smsts.log since the tasksequence didn't even started.
    Please advise.

    Found the problem. On Vista as well wifi as standard nic are enabled. Although it should not happen, the wifi-address/mac is used to download content. When we added the wifi network as boundary, problem was solved.

    when I request a software update, i am told my software is already up to date but I know it's not. how can I fix this?

    The pre-2006 iMacs this forum covers cannot run any higher than OS10.5.8, and Apple pretty much stopped pushing out any updates for anything other than the current version.
    If your iMac is a newer model (covered here: iMac (Intel) forum) you can run at least 10.6.8, available for purchase rather cheaply here:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and it's possible you can run higher depending on your iMac variant. So find your iMac variant, please do "About this Mac" from your Apple menu and, in the resulting window, click the "More Info" button to get this screen:
    Please tell us the code name ans number for your computer in the line I've indicated with the red arrow. For an iMac, it will either be in the format, "PowerMacX,X" or "iMacX,X" depending on the age of your iMac. The trailing numbers where I put Xs will help us help you determine what exact variant you have and what upgrade options are available.
    Also tell us how much RAM is installed. Newer OS versions often need more RAM that older iMacs shipped with.

  • Change all the SoftWare RAID partitions to the VLM (physical volume)

    My PC has a RHEL5.0 system and other 4 partitions(Software RAID type). Now I want to change all the SoftWare RAID partitions to the VLM (physical volume) partition and I do not want to reinstall the RHEL5.0 system.
    How to do it?
    Can fdisk tool work? Which tool is easy?

    Hans,
    I am using ASMLib and no raw partitions. All the
    partions must be separated partitions without being
    mounted by any system.For the partitions to be used by ASMLib the partition must still be known to the machine.
    From the ASMLib pages:
    "Every disk that ASMLib is going to be accessing needs to be made available. This is accomplished by creating an ASM disk. The /etc/init.d/oracleasm script is again used for this task: "

  • How do I change the default software that opens when I click on a document?

    I'm not sure if this is the right neighborhood to post this question, but here goes. How do I change the default software that opens when I click on a document icon. I've been without MSWord for a long while, so all my word processing docs have been written in TextEdit, the stock mini-word processor that comes with OSX. Now I have MSWord and I no longer need TextEdit. Even more importantly, I'd like Word to automatically open when I click on a doc created in TextEdit. Adding ".doc" at the end doesn't do it. It's still refers to TextEdit to open the document.
    Any advice?
    Thanks,
    John

    Select a document of that type in the Finder, choose Get Info from the File menu, change the application under Open With, click on Change All, and confirm your action.

  • How to change name of software component version in IR and ID?

    Hi All,
    I have a scenario in which 50 interfaces are there.All interfaces are working fine and we are in Testing stage.
    I need to change name of Software component which I have used in IR.
    I tried with release transport. I am able to pass all my mapping programs and everything under new software component name. But in ID all configuration objects contain IR objects (Like interface mapping) with old software component name.
    Do I need to change everything in ID manually or is there any other way for this?
    Thanks in advance.
    Warm Regards,
    Gouri

    Gouri,
    If you check this blog , you are able to transfer data even without IR content, i.e, there is no message interface , no namespace in IR and stil this works. Reason, there is no validation if the message interafce exists in the IR. In the runtime the SOAP Header is filled with the interfacename and namespace and it uses these values.
    /people/william.li/blog/2006/09/08/how-to-send-any-data-even-binary-through-xi-without-using-the-integration-repository
    Likewise, irrespective of which SWCV the interface name and namespace is, things will work fine as long as they exists in the IR in your case.
    The SWCV is a means to group objects, it might be displayed while doing the manual configuration but it doesnt matter even if you just key in the values without using the help.
    Things will work fine.
    Regards

  • Screen color settings changes when certain software is launched.

    Since today I noticed the screen color settings of my Macbook Pro 17" (beginning 2011 model — Running OSX 10.8.4) is changing when certain software is launched. In this case, Indesign CS6.0 gives a strange blue hue over my screen, but when I check my screen color settings, nothing has changed, everything is set the same as when I don't run the softwares that change my screen color settings. I don't recall changing any settings that could have triggered this action. I didn't change any settings in Indesign CS6.0. I do regularly use CleanMyMac 2 to clean out my computer, maybe this has changed some settings? How can I change this back to normal? Google didn't help me neither.

    Ah right, don;t use laptops much and always forget about that one, good catch. Switching graphics cards would definitely have an effect.
    Just remember with that unchecked you will decrease battery run time so you might want to switch it back on when you are not doing graphics and you are on battery.

    Either your phone is broken, or it was jailbroken. You can try a DFU restore.

  • My bank, First Direct, informs me that I am unable to print off my bank statements if I am using Firefox as my browser due to a change in Firefox software.

    I have recently changed my browser to Firefox and can no longer print my on-line bank statements. I have queried this with my bank, First Direct, and I am informed that this is due my using Firefox and a recent change to Firefox software. I am using XP and have the latest Adobe software. Your help, please. I notice that other users have registered similar problems.

    Current Firefox versions have enabled a built-in PDF Viewer that doesn't have all features that other PDF readers like the Adobe Reader have or may not function properly otherwise.
    You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use the Adobe Reader or set to Always Ask in "Firefox > Options/Preferences > Applications".
    You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the build-in PDF viewer.
    You can check the value of the plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types pref on the about:config page and remove the application/pdf part if present or reset the pref to the default via the right-click context menu.

  • How to make software

    I was wondering if apple has a program or maybe some software that I could get to learn how to make software.
    Please respond.
    Thanks

    Random Man,
    Look on that install CD/DVD that came with Mac OS X. On it, you will find a whole lotta (unbelieably awesome) developer tools and info on becoming involved with Apple's developer programs.
    However, iTunes U and Apple's ADC (the "Apple Developer Connection") are really different things. This forum (for iTunes U admins) is so totally the wrong place for your question. Apple has very easily found forums for programming questions ... you're way better off looking for them.

  • Flash Player update request from Software Not. Valid or bogus?

    I keep getting update requests from Software Not to update Flash Player 11 to higher #.  Is this a valid request to update Flash driver?  The request does nothing when selected and no programs are in the "HP STORE" to assist with install.  I have Win. 8, IE 10 with updates turned on for both.  If this is a bogus application I want to block it.  The pop in notice appears multiple times daily.

    Flash Player for IE 10 in WIn 8 is "embedded" by Microsoft, and you don't update it outside of Windows Update, so, the odds are the notices you see are fake. If the notices appear in your browser, you need to look into another browser like Firefox, that uses add-ons like AdBlock Plus (not comaptible with IE - it doesn't work with ActiveX controls).
    If you're seeing the update outside of the browser, you've likely got "adware" that's causing it.
