Error found in Software Distribution log

I found below error in my software distribution log. I think it is related to WSUS and many comptuers are not getting proper patches. Any resolution is really appriciated
2014-11-24 15:27:26.773 UTC    Warning    w3wp.325    SoapUtilities.CreateException    ThrowException: actor = http://xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.com:8530/ClientWebService/client.asmx, ID=e5cd4691-63d8-4740-b5a6-f732027896db,

What do you mean of "not getting proper patches"?
Did these clients fail to update with any error code?
Almost certainly the above log entry is occurring in combination with an 0x8024400D error code ... a very common manifestation of duplicated SusClientIDs.
The log snippet on the client side would look something like this:

  • Error 10038 - Software Distribution Paused

    On one machine, I'm getting error 10038
    "The program for advertisement "S0xxxxxx" has not been run yet ("S0yyyyyy" - "App - Install"). Software Distribution is currently paused on this computer, and it has to be resumed before this program can begin."
    This is for all apps that should be run, mandatory and optional.
    Matching error in execmgr.log file is "This program cannot run because a reboot is in progess or software distribution is paused."
    Cause? Well, user inadvertantly ran a USMT capture TS the other day, which has a shutdown command at the end. Always works fine, normally. However, suspect but cannot confirm that user 'interfered' with the shutdown process, as they would have been seeing whole thing happen and probably not been happy about the shutdown as they were trying to work. (Let's not get into why users will blindly click on anything that pops up in their in-tray!)
    Since then, no other adverts will run. Machine has been restarted several times.
    So, how do I tell the client that it should unpause Software Distribution because there really is no restart or TS in progress anymore?
    I have searched online, but there are almost no pages found relating to this error.
    (NB: Client is Vista SP1, Site is SCCM SP1 with R2.)

    Please have a look at those registry keys:
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\Mobile Client\Software Distribution\State
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\Task Sequence
    There might be some values that were not set to 0 again (I have no ConfigMgr client right next to me but it was obvious what to set from 1 to 0 IIRC)
    Just following up on my post, we upgraded to SP2, still an issue (random), not an issue with a specific TS (random again). After stumbling on another post somewhere and digging into the registry, changing the same above values mentioned by Torsten, resolved the issue.
    All that I change is "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\Mobile Client\Software Distribution\State" change the values for "Paused" and "Paused Cookie" to a 0 , so it reads 0x00000000 (0) this resolves the issue, at first I was stopping ccmexec, changing the value, starting ccmexec, but that is not required, just change the value and your good to go.
    Roger Zanders SCCM Client Centre has this built in to client actions, confirmed what his action does and it just changes the registry value.
    Now as this is a random issue for random clients and random TS, any ideas how we can get a permanent solution, is this classed as bug?
    Proposing Torsten's response as the answer.

  • There must be a real solution to "Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error installing"

    "Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error installing"
    I've spent hours researching this error - Seems like many people have the same issue although there is no difinitive fix or known cause.
    I'm hoping someone here has an answer.
    Windows 7 Home Premium x64 OEM (HP)
    This is not an upgraded Vista system.
    It's not a specific driver related issue as it's the same response/effect be it graphics/chip set/usb/printer drivers.
    Please dont suggest to flatten and re-install or run a repair install - It's not an option, I only have remote access to the unit
    as it's currently in field use.
    This is a machine specific issue - identical machine purchased at the same time and configured the same has no issue.
    So the story.
    User has been fine for weeks - no hardware of software changes except Windows Updates.
    A Camera/USB connection that was working no longer does.
    Tried in all USB ports
    Plug in - windows announces found new hardware, tries to install drivers then fails
    with "Windows found software for your device but encountered an error installing ...."
    Device manager finds and identifies device although it is in the 'Unknown Device" category.
    Manually updating drivers via search/internet or point directly at a driver has exactly the same effect.
    Thinking this was just the camera drivers - I researched and downloaded new drivers from camera manufacturers sites
    Fuji and Canon.
    Same effect.
    Deleted/uninstalled drivers completely, deleted/uninstalled all USB root hub and USB devices (hidden and visible)
    SFC /Scannow finds no error
    Cold boot finds USB and chipset(?) devices on boot attempts to reinstall then we get
     "Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error installing"
    So now I have no usb devices at all - memory stick/card reader/printer...... nada.
    in fact if I try to update any device driver I get the same message generated.
    Restore point does not help either. 
    After much trawling I found reference to a permisions issue and stale driver cache data.
    (This is using an administrator account - not user with admin permissions?)
    I'm willing to try anything at this time
    I deleted the infcache.1 and other .dat files under c:\windows\system32\driverstore
    Copied the usb  .inf and .pnf from the appropriate FileRepository directory into c:\windows\inf
    Uninstalled all the usb/unkown devices from device manager again.
    Rebooted
    Takes a little longer to boot as I take it it's rebuilding the driver cache then
    a very short hurrah!!!
    I can now use usb memory card and pen drives - no issue
    Plug in a camera or printer...
    "Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error installing"
    Several attempt at this trying different driver versions.
    It should not be vendor specific, the other field machine that works is using Microsoft drivers for these devices.
    I even copied the drivers from one machine to the other - repeated everything above...
    "Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error installing"
    And then the nail in my sanity
    Try windows update....
    Reboot
    "Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error installing"
    but this time its different.
    The device it thinks it cannot install is the generic MTP-PTP drivers  (Photo Transfer Protocol -so am I getting somewhere)
    so it still finds but cannot install.
    The cameras are always found but appear as 'unknown devices' and cannot be accessed
    Uninstall all USB/unkown again - reboot..
    Same message and this time I've lost all the USB again.
    Restore point to before Win Update gets me USB back again although I still have no cameras  - so theres an update issue as well.
    This has to be tied down to a file access/ registry problem although I'm loath to go cutting about without some guidance.
    I'm no great believer in 'registry cleaners' unless anyone can point to a definitive/no ad's/sales version that really works.
    As I said above, flattening/rebuild at this time is not an option - the user is not best pleased and I'm completley stumped.
    If anyone has experienced(manu of you have) and fixed(still to find one) this issue please let me know how as soon as possible.
    Chris 

    I know I am replying to an old thread - but I have the answer and resolved this error, and since this message comes up first in search results, and part of my answer came from this thread, I wanted to help someone else as this took an extra
    12 hours and a lot of technical insight to resolve. See below for detailed explanation that others ask for above.
    My original issue was that iTunes didnt reinstall. generating this error that said I am trying to access an unavailable network resource and to browse to find itunes64setup (again). This may partly have been due to me deleting old install version folders.
    Research led me to completely uninstall apple products and reinstall per their instruction and fixed the issue with iTunes. see
    Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 - Apple Support
    The SAME error I had while updating itunes recurred while uninstalling it from my Windows 7 SP1 system...so I went to microsoft Fixit and attempted to correct and it properly uninstalled iTunes for me, which allowed the reinstall.
    What didnt work was my USB web root/ root hub, which partly involved my older system and USB 1.0, and the delete/reinstall existing drivers with the c:\windows\winsxs folder as source of drivers (thank you Magon Liu!!!) which I had to figure out what/why
    and how.
    Then I had an intel chipset issue...my new Iphone wasn't recognizing in plug and play, and there was an error with installing the device drivers for my new iphone 6. Manual applications didn't work, even though a generic device showed in control panel -
    device manager with a yellow !
    Per above blog answer - I tried to remove and reinstall my USB controller or update the drivers (I have an Alienware M15 laptop - a few years old.) I discovered that the USB host controller - an Intel(R) 5 Series / 3400 Series Chipset family USB Enhanced
    Host controller - (port) was not covered by current Intel chipset programs which are Series 6 and later, but did have an update (8/20/2009 v9.1.1.1020)  that supported USB 2.0 (and therefore 3.0 backwards compatibility which as an issue with my new iPhone
    and some USB thumb drives.) To find this I had to look at the Support - Downloads and Drivers - browse for drivers and somewhere found an option to look for older no longer supported drivers. I found infinst_autol.exe for my case.
    Once downloaded I tried to install and failed. Found the log in C:\Intel\Logs and contains:
    [InstallDev]
              [Device]
                Driver = C:\Users\DAVIDS~1\AppData\Local\Temp\IPMx7\WIN7\ibexusb.inf
                INF = C:\Users\DAVIDS~1\AppData\Local\Temp\IPMx7\WIN7\ibexusb.inf
                Installed INF =

                Difx = 64 bit

                Using RegDeleteKeyEx
    !!!         ERROR 0xE0000246: DriverPackageInstall generated an unexpected error
     HERE'S THE ADDED EXPLANATION TO BRIAN'S POST THAT EXPLAINS THE SECURITY ISSUE:
    This turned out to be an error for two reasons. First, after manually running the command in an "run as administrator" window (same error result), thinking it related to my anti-virus (turned that off/disabled firewall and A/V), and from this thread
    granting my user administrative rights to files in an install folder and trying to reinstall inf files and drivers from C:\Windows\winsxs vs my copied infinst_autol.exe expansion (as found from log in C:\Users\David Samuels\AppData\Local\Temp\IPMx7\WIN7 folder).....that
    there was an easier solution as the reason this error actually happens is a permissions problem.
    To access the proper windows system folders - you have to be the TrustedInstaller service - not just in the administrator group...or you have to be the actual "Administrator" account. To become actual administrator on
    your own laptop, Open a command window "run CMD.exe as administrator", then execute command
    > net user administrator /active:yes
    This creates a local PC Administrator account with no password. Coincidentally it has proper permissions to windows directories for installing drivers. Log in as this user, go to device manager and update the USB hub and any other drivers. if updating the
    USB root - it doesn't replace it right away as the system cant disable the currently resident in memory "running" driver  - you have to update, then restart the system, log in as administrator and repeat at the next lower layer that has issues.
    Once completed - log in as yourself again and disable the administrator account in a command window with > net user administrator /active:no
    This in my case enabled all my USB 2.0 and 3.0 devices on my originally only USB 1.0 laptop and everything else works properly again - I hope this helps many of you to resolve your own issues that were difficult to find and resolve and that got as far as
    this thread. Good luck!

    Hi ..
    Which OS X is installed on your Mac ?
    Click the Apple () menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac. The version is noted there.
    Make sure your Mac OS X software is up to date.
    Disconnect the iPad from your Mac.
    Open System Preferences > Software Update > Check Now
    If any updates are required, make sure to restart your Mac after the updates are installed then connect your iPad and see if iTunes recognizes it under Devices.

  • Not clearable : 1 distinct types of ORA- errors have been found in the alert log.

    ( Correct me if I'm wrong.)
    What could be the reason for the fact that the event "1 distinct types of ORA- errors have been found in the alert log." is not clearable?
    Even if the problem is solved, the ORA- error will still be in the alert.log.
    Therefore the event would eventually only disappear after 7 days.
    Doesn't sound very logical to me.

    - The event page showing a warning event for "Generic Alert Log Error Status" metric,
    - "Generic Alert Log Error Status" event is a statefull metric,
    - On each evaluation of the metric defined as 'Statefull', the Cloud Control Agent recalculates the severity,
    - This means, EM Agent scans the alert log for ORA errors, "Generic Alert Log Error Status" will return the number of ORA error found,
    - Whenever the returned number is grater than the assigned thresholds of "Generic Alert Log Error Status", an alert is raised on EM console,
    - On the next scan of alert log file, this alert will be cleared ONLY if the collected value is less than the assigned threshold,
    - By checking your system, the warning threshold of "Generic Alert Log Error Status" is 0, so whenever a single ORA error is found in alert log, a warning event will be raised and you will not be able to clear it manually as this is a stateful metric.
    There are three cases where this alert can be cleared:
    1. The agent found 0 ORA errors in Alert log, then the alert will be cleared automatically
    2. Manual clear: By disabling/enabling the metric
    3. Manual clear and further not receiving similar alerts frequently: By assigning higher thresholds values
    So, I suggest to disable the metric, then, enable it after some time as follows as follows:
    - Go to the problematic database home page >> open the 'Oracle Database' drop-down menu >> 'Monitoring' >> 'Metric and Collection Settings',
    - Choose 'All metrics' from the 'View' drop-down list >> search for the 'Generic Alert Log Error Status' metric,
    - Click the pencil icon under 'Edit' column opposite to the above metric >> remove the Warning Threshold (make it empty) >> 'Continue' >> 'OK'.
    - Wait for the next collection schedule in order for the warning events to be cleared, then, enable the metric again with the same steps (setting Warning Threshold=0).

  • Problem with Software Distribution in LMS 3.2

    LMS 3.2 on Solaris 10
    I'm trying to distribute IOS images via Software Mgmt. I'm getting the following error on step 2 - View Recommendations.
    "SWIM0087: Recommendation module timed out while waiting for the procedure to complete.
    Either the device had many images to process or one of the services used by this application is not responding.
    Either fine-tune the administrative preferences to filter out any unwanted images or check the application logs for more details."
    We have two LMS 3.2 systems in a master-slave configuration. Both of which were recently upgraded to LMS 3.2 from 3.0. Software distribution is working as expected on the Slave system. It was working on the Master system before the upgrade to LMS 3.2 also.
    I've checked all of the administrative settings I can think of and they match on both systems.
    Am I missing something?
    Thanks,

    Without debugs I can only guess but the symptoms you report could be caused by a few corrupted files.
    You could try the following as it has solved similar situations.
    Move SharedHelpACE.zip, SharedSwimACE.zip, and SharedSwimGSS.zip somewhere outside the CSCOpx directory.
    The files can be found:
    \CSCOpx\www\classpath\com\cisco\nm\xms\psu\pkgs\rme
    As well as:
    \CSCOpx\MDC\tomcat\webapps\rme\WEB-INF\lib\pkgs
    Then restart the services:
    net stop crmdmgtd
    net start crmdmgtd
    If this proves unsuccessful then replace the files in their original locations.

  • There were errors installing the software

    Mac Mini G4 1.25GHz / 512MB / 40GB / Combo / Modem.
    Ser: YM6***TAB
    <Edited by Moderator: Personal Info - Please See Terms of Use>
    Originally Mum's Mini was "doing strange things", so I had to drive 150 miles to try to sort it out.
    First I downloaded AppleJack and tried it out on my own G4 Tower before heading north to visit Mum. Applejack installed OK from my USB memory stick.
    Unfortunately, it didn't occur to me to take a spare keyboard and I was unable to get her Mac Mini (with a miniature keyboard) to respond to any key presses at start-up, which foiled all attempts to use AppleJack or even single user mode!
    However, I was able to use DiskWarrior and it found several corrupted files on the Hard Drive, which it claimed (after two attempts) were repaired. I then "repaired permissions" and ejected the DiskWarrior disc. Then I had the bright idea of going to "Software Update" in the Apple Menu. This downloaded the latest OS10.4.11 and started to install it. After 20 minutes it reported that there was a "problem with installation" and I should reboot and try again, which I did, with the same result. So then I had the amazingly bright idea of erasing the drive and installing 10.4 from the original DVD. This got several minutes into the procedure before reporting a problem. "There were problems installing the software".
    I gave up at that point, left Mum my iBook to use and brought the Mac Mini home.
    I was able to boot it up from an external Firewire HD, which contained a clone of the boot drive from my own G4 Mac Mini. It seemed to work OK so I tried the Tiger installation DVD again. It failed as before but I was able to save the Crash Log onto the Firewire Drive and you can view it here:
    http://www.amstard.co.uk/temp/OSInstallCrashLog.txt
    (I hope this means something to somebody! The way I interpret it is that it installed a file then discovered that file was corrupted?)
    I used Prosoft "Drive Genius" to erase the internal Hard Drive again and it reported that all was well. But I still couldn't install the OS.
    After that, I couldn't even get the Mac Mini to boot from the external Firewire drive. It just produces a black oblong on a gray screen with a stalled "cog wheel". Here's a photo that I took:
    http://www.amstard.co.uk/temp/screenphoto.jpg
    There is nothing connected except the standard USB keyboard and mouse at this point and the external Firewire drive.
    It does boot up with the generic Tiger installation DVD. I can run Disk Utility, which reports no errors on the Hard Drive. But it fails when I try to install the OS 10.4 with an error message "There were problems installing the software" (generic OS10.4 installer) or "There were errors installing the software" (original Mac Mini OS10.4 installer).
    I have fitted a new 120GB drive and replaced the RAM. The OS still fails to install on the newly formatted drive. The Apple site suggests a firmware update for this error message but doesn't list one for the Mini.
    I have tried installing OS10.4 from the original Mac Mini installations discs and from a generic 10.4 installer. Both give the same "There were errors installing the software" message.
    I have "zapped the PRAM" without making any difference to this symptom.
    I have tried doing the simplest installation without any additional fonts, language translators or bundled software.
    Any suggestions - apart from "scrap it!"?

    I have tried installing OS10.4 from the original Mac Mini installations discs and from a generic 10.4 installer. Both give the same "There were errors installing the software" message.
    Since this is an original G4 mini, there is no reason at all that any full retail 10.4 installer, or the original MacOS installer that came with the mini would not work. Later minis, released after Tiger's release date were in some instances unable to boot from the early versions of the Tiger retail installer because 10.4.0 or 10.4.1 pre-dated the versions those minis came supplied with, but clearly that isn't the case with your system.
    If you are certain that the MacOS install disk you have is the one that original one that came with the mini (which should be a late version of MacOS 10.3.x), then the only obvious thing to check is that you have correctly partitioned the drive (it should be partitioned in the Apple Partition Map scheme, and then formatted as MacOS Extended (Journalled). If those parameters are met and you continue to get the error from a valid installer for that system, then the potential causes narrow to such things as defective install disks (unlikely since you have tried more than one), defective optical drive unlikely because you can boot from the install disk using the drive), or defective logic board/disk controller - which is a distinct possibility since it's possible that was responsible for the first drive failure (or the indications of failure).
    Boot the system using the original MacOS installer and using Disk Utility, set the new internal drive up again with the APM partitioning and MacOS Extended (Journalled) formatting, then immediately run the 'Repair Disk' tool on it to make sure the drive is being read and written correctly. Then performa PMU reset (instructions below) to ensure that the failure to boot from the external FW drive is not a simple matter of dropped FW port. On rebooting with your FW drive connected, hold the Option key down to see if the system then recognizes your external drive. If it does, select it and attempt to boot from it.
    With luck that will give you a working system, booted from your external, at which point I would then see if it's possible to clone your external to the new internal drive, rather than attempt a reinstall from the MacOS installer.
    On the face of it there should be no reason that would not work since by booting from the MacOS installer you basically show that the system is sound and the optical drive is working. By partitioning and formatting the internal drive and getting a clean bill of health from the repair disk tool, you show the drive and disk controller are OK. That doesn't leave much else to be at fault!

    A number of problems exist including the notorious MacKeeper. Start by removing it according to the instructions below.
    Follow these instructions to uninstall MacKeeper. They have been tested with the most recent version of MacKeeper. Earlier versions than the one released in 2012 require more extensive work to uninstall all its components.
    If you actually used MacKeeper to alter your system, e.g. "remove excess binaries" or such, you will need to reinstall OS X as well as all your additional software. Uninstalling MacKeeper is insufficient to reverse the corruption it is capable of - once again, that is if you used it.
    If you merely installed MacKeeper but did not use it to perform any particular action, the following instructions will suffice.
    If you used MacKeeper to encrypt any files or folders, use MacKeeper to un-encrypt them first.
    Quit the MacKeeper app if it is running.
    Open your Applications folder: Using the Finder's Go menu, select Applications.
    Drag the MacKeeper icon from your Applications folder (not the Dock) to the Trash.
    You will be asked to authenticate (twice).
    You do not need to provide a reason for uninstalling it.
    Just click the Uninstall MacKeeper button. You will be asked to authenticate again.
    After it uninstalls you may empty the Trash and restart your Mac. All that will remain is an inert log file that does nothing but occupy space on your hard disk.
    An apparently modified Hosts file is another concern, which is apparently blocking Adobe software requests to contact its server for whatever reason it needs to do that. If you know the reason for altering Hosts then you can troubleshoot it on the basis of that knowledge. If you do not know the reason, it often occurs as a result of installing pirated or "cracked" software to circumvent its ability to contact an external host to verify their software was legitimately obtained. If that's the case then anything is possible as a result of having installed illegally obtained software.
    Awesome Screenshot is adware. Most people don't install such things unless they are deceived into doing so.
    Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. For Safari, go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone. For browsers other than Safari, perform the equivalent actions.
    For an explanation or how this may have occurred and how to avoid it in the future read How to install adware.
    Uninstall the following according to their respective instructions.
    MicroMat "TechTool Pro"
    Western Digital "drive utility" software
    Intego "Washing Machine"
    You need to be much more circumspect regarding the software you choose to install on your Mac. May I suggest that you review the following setting in System Preferences?
    Although you may easily override that setting, it will serve to protect you from inadvertently installing garbage.

  • Error Building LW 2010 Distribution Kit

    Hi rayt52,
    Looking at a similar report of this error, found here
    http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/460D3470477CD3A486256D7100744A4B?OpenDocument
    I am wondering if there is a difference in software installed on your machine from your laptop to your test machine. Specifically it looks like the NI Security Update has not been included. There were a couple of knowledgebase articles specific to this particular update indicating its importance, especially for pre CVI 2010 SP1 runtimes.
    I am guessing this update is missing on your factory test machine. You can find more information on the mentioned update with these two articles:

  • Alerts for distribution logs (SCUL)

    Hi,
    I wanted to know how can we setup CUA alerts i.e. alerts for the errors found in SCUL trx
    If the distribution logs in SCUL trx can be emailed if in error.
    Please let me know is there any way to do this?
    Regards,
    Chintan

    Hi Ankit,
    Yes, this can be done. But for that you have use a script, schedule in cron with 10 mins daily, which will count the number of file and save it log file with some KEYWORD.
    For eg, if the number of file are more than 50 then the log file will contain a message, "warning".
    Now, as soon as agent finds this message in this file, an auto reaction method will be triggered and emails can be sent for notification.
    You can refer below link for more information.
