Does System Center Update Rollup 4 also contain Update Rollup 3 and Update rollupt 2, etc

Hi,
Does System Center SP1 Update Rollup 4 also contain Update Rollup 3 and Update rollupt 2, etc?
Can I go from Update rollup 2 and apply update rollup 4 and get the updates in 3 as well?
Thanks Lance

Hello!
Yes, the previous updates are included in UR4, so there is no need to install UR3 if you are going from UR2 to UR4.
By the way, the latest update rollup for System Center SP1 is UR5: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2904730/en-us

System Center Updates Publisher

Hi All,
I'm looking at deploying some Adobe software, specifically Flash, and their download page refers to an alternative mechanism of obtaining the software being System Center Updates Publisher.
I can't find an awful lot on it, so:
1. Is it compatible with CM 2012 R2, and if so is there a resource on enabling/installing it?
2. Is it a better mechanism than just downloading the update and creating an application?
TIA

SCUP 2011 is supported with certain limitations take a look here
http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrteam/archive/2013/12/11/system-center-updates-publisher-2011-support-statement-update.aspx
Download Kent Agerlund's install and config guide from here

It's a great addition to ConfigMgr however catalogs that are available for it for free are limited.

I have a temp working for me and she scanned all our batches upside down is there a way to flip them and save them without her having to rescan every batch. We have tried flipping them and doing a save as, we have also tried to flip them and create a new pdf document but nothing seems to be working

If the file type is PDF then open them in Acrobat and rotate them via Tools - Pages - Rotate (not via the View menu, which is only temporary).
You can also do this in an Action, if you have Acrobat Pro, and process multiple files in a single process.

Systems Center Update publisher

I have Systems Center 2012 R2 setup and running on a Windows Server 2012 R2 box. I installed update publisher on this same box so I can get the Adobe catalogs and include the adobe updates with my other updates. Update publisher installed just
fine, but I'm running into issues when trying to set it up. Under Options > Update Server > Connect to local update server when I enable it I get the following message when I test the connection:
When I click the "Create" button under Signing Certificate to create a certificate I just keep getting that same pop-up everytime I click it. I read somewhere that 2012 no longer will create self signed certs, but I'm not sure how to get
around this issue. Anyone have any help? Thanks in advance.

Here's the info on re-enabling WSUS self-signed cert generation:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/wsus/archive/2013/08/15/wsus-no-longer-issues-self-signed-certificates.aspx
I suggest you don't re-enable this though -- they disabled it for a reason. Go the extra mile, get a PKI smart resource and deploy a PKI.

Remote Desktop and Doing System / Software Updates

I am new to Remote Desktop. I am starting to use it daily in my class room to share things with students and lock screens, etc. Is there an easy way to do system updates and software updates (adobe flash player, java, etc.) without having to manually log in to each machine? I have to believe there is a better way...could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Oh, my version of Remote Desktop is 3.7.2

System center sql 2012 remote or local install

Guys I'm testing System Center 2012 R2 right now I plan on installing configuration manager for starters. I would like to ask you guys did you install your sql server instance locally for System Center or do you have a remote SQL server installation that
System Center is using are there any pros for installing a local instance over a remote one? Also I was reading somewhere that Sytem Center comes with an SQL server license I always assumed that it would come with SQL Server express and not full blown
SQL Server. So with that said does System Center incluse a full blown SQL Server license?

Hi,
In test environment, typically SQL can be on local instance. However in production environment, you can place SQL on remote as when collocated the site server supports a maximum of 50,000 Clients, and if database server is installed on
a Remote server, the Site-Server supports up to 100,000 Clients.
In System Center 2012, along with any edition of Server Management License you get a run-time instance of SQL Server Standard edition when utilized for the SQL engine used by the System Center components.
For further information about SQL Requirements:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682077.aspx

How to sequence Microsoft System Center Service Manager?

AppV Version: 5.0
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
Application Name: System Center Service Manager 7.5.2905.0
Issue: This applications has a shortcut named as "Service Manager Shell" which will launch as shown in screenshot below,
The same shortcut will launch as shown in screenshot below with Sequenced Application,
Please let me know how to make this shortcut launch same as source.
Regards,
Reddy

I would check the package for any reference of the specific path to the C:\Program Files\Microsoft System Center 2012 path. Also have you run a ProcMon trace to see where the app is looking for the files? The certificate may be pointing to the C:\Program
Files Directory rather than the App-V path..

Virtualization service status - unknow system center 2008

hi .
i installed system center 2008 on a 2012 server ,
i created several machines on it and they are working fine ... the problem is i cannot do any action like clone or create check points or migrations from system center ..
beside every vm there is a message host is not responding and in the properties of the hyper v host error virtualization service status - unknow but all other options are checked ok
i ve 2 network cards on the host server one is used for the virtual machines and the other is for the local network
all machines are assigned to that virtual network card
please advice on solving this issue

Of the 18 or so machines, most have not been frequent repeat offenders (popping up only every few days) but there are a few that have been somewhat daily offenders. I have removed the client, rebooted, reinstalled the client manually on the heavy offenders
and this has not corrected the issue.
When I RDP to the machine and try to stop the System Center Management service it take awhile (30+ seconds) and then I get an error stating:
Windows could not stop the System Center Management service on local computer. Error 1053: the service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
The when I click OK the service is stopped and I then start it. If I stop it again it takes like 5 seconds and does not give any error.
From looking at the Operations Manager event viewer I have multiples of:
A scheduled discovery task was not started because the previous task for that discovery was still executing. Event ID 10000
The Windows Event Log Provider monitoring the Application Event Log is 1124 minutes behind in processing events.
This can occur when the provider is restarted after being offline for some time, or there are too many events to be handled by the workflow. Event ID 26017 (note on this one, this occurs right after the nightly reboot) --- I flushed the Health Service
State and Cache, still get the System Center Management service to stop responding within an hour and a heartbeat failure on SCOM.
No firewall.
AV (Symantec Endpoint Protection) is clear with the same setting as all the servers.
These servers that keep having the issues do have citrix loaded but again, nothing has changed on the client (servers) side from SCOM 2007 to SCOM 2012 and we never got these in 2007, just 2012.
As for the “ServicesPipeTimeout” I could not locate a key in the registry with that value.

Import System Center Monitoring Pack for System Center 2012 - Service Manager into SCOM 2007 R2

I would like to know if there is SCSM 2012 SP1 MP available for SCOM 2007 R2 ?
I downloaded the "System Center Monitoring Pack for System Center 2012 - Service Manager" MP from
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29980 and then import into SCOM 2007 R2, however, I found that there are some MP dependencies issue.
For example, the "Microsoft System Center Service Manager Library" MP requires "Microsoft SystemCenter Library" and "System.Health.Library" MPs of version 7.0.8427.0. Howerver, the "Microsoft SystemCenter Library"
and "System.Health.Library" MP in SCOM 2007 R2 is of version 6.1.7221.0

VssNullProver stopped after installing Update Rollup 3 for System Center Data Protection Manager 2012 R2

I recently installed Update Rollup 3 for System Center Data Protection Manager 2012 R2.
As part of the update I updated all DPM Agents, including the ones on our Hyper-V Servers (which are part of a cluster). I also rebooted every DPM Protected Servers. After reboot all Hyper-V Servers raise a warning that the VssNullProvider service has stopped.
Backup seems to work properly. I can start the VssNullProvider service manually. But after the next backup the service it is stopped again. Exactly the same issue occurs on our test Hyper-V Cluster. All our Hyper-V Servers run Windows Server 2012 R2 and
we use System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 R2.
Something is not ok with Update Rollup 3. Any suggestions?

FYI Update Rollup 3 for Microsoft System Center 2012 R2 - Virtual Machine Manager (KB2965413) Stops SCVMM service starting

I just applied update:
Update Rollup 3 for Microsoft System Center 2012 R2 - Virtual Machine Manager (KB2965413)
and (KB2965414) but it failed to install.
After a reboot I could not login to the VMM and the service would not start
An event id 0 was reported with:
Service cannot be started. System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException: Unable to load one or more of the requested types. Retrieve the LoaderExceptions property for more information.

After I removed the update the VMM was able to start, no reboot required.
When I have time I will try to apply both updates again successfully and see if the issue still occurs.

FYI. I've had the same issue after I installed Update Rollup 3 (KB2965413), seeing the exact same error on event log. Tried to start the service manually, getting service unable to start error. This is a machine running
with Windows Server 2012 Standard. Solution for me is simple. I just install
KB2965414 (Update Rollup 3 for SCVMM 2012 R2), reboot the server, and the SCVMM service auto start up by itself.

Systems Center and WSUS - Deploying updates

Hi
I'm having a bit of a nightmare trying to get a client to update from Systems Center when using WSUS.
I've installed and downloaded on Systems Center the necessary updates etc but the test PC had difficulty downloading the updates.
Upon research I had put in the group policy the name and port of the server in the "Specify intranet Microsoft Update service location" but apparently this was wrong as it uses the configuration manager and software update point, so the group policy
intranet entry is now disabled.
The PC then updated and I thought that it was working.   However upon looking further, I believe that all that is happening is the PC is going direct out to the internet for the updates instead!   There is no status change in the configuration
management console (in Deployments it is saying Unknown) and there were far more updates being applied than I'd configured in the Software Update Group.
My sanity is close to breaking as this seems far more complex than it should be.
What should I have in the Group Policy?   What logs are most useful in helping me figure out what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks for any help.

The only thing that is essential is that you should not have a GPO pointing to a previous WSUS server. If this is in place then ConfigMgr will ignore all updates deployments. It is best practise to implement a GPO to actually disable automatic updates (although
this is not mandatory).
The following logs will give you a complete understanding of what is happening on a client:
UpdatesDeployment.log
UpdatesHandler.log
WUAHandler.log
