Filtering non required updates from Search Folder

I wish to create a Search Folder for software updates that filters the updates on product, severity, whether it has been superseded or not, whether it has expired and also if it is required or not.
I have managed to create the first four steps fine, but I am having difficulty filtering out non required updates.
Following the instructions provided by Kent Agerlund (http://blog.coretech.dk/kea/creating-a-search-folder-with-all-required-security-updates-in-configuration-manager-2007/) I have selected required in the search folder criteria and added the numbers from
1 to 9 as well as entering ^0 but no results are returned and the search folder is empty.  There are a wide range of PC numbers in our environment from single figures right up to the hundreds where PCs do not require updates so in theory the ^0 should
work, but it doesn't. 
Would anybody be able to point out where this may be going wrong?

I would never use Required filed to filter the updates since you never know when clients would request for update that never requested by any client (assuming you created SU group and later new clients clients requested) .
its always good to download all the updates with the required criteria except required.
Did you try with [^0] ?

    Look in the Applications folder to see if iPhoto is still there. If it is drag it back to the Finder Sidebar. If it is no longer in the Applications folder post back, you can also look in the Trash it might still be there.

  • Download non-english updates from Windows Update Catalog

    Hi, I would like to integrate all updates to install image. However, I must select all language of each updates on Windows Updates Catalog each by each. Any idea to download all updates with differance language as easier?
    thanks

    Hi,
    I'm afraid that it is inevitable and you have to tick "Select all" for each update if you want to download all language of Updates. Why do you want to integrate all language updates into an image? if you need additional language user
    interface, then you just need language pack added to your image.

  • I have a 3GS I have just updated the iOS from IOS 4.?.? to iOS 6.?.? I realise this should have been done ages ago. My phone works after the upgrade, but none of my Apps, Photos from designated folder or Music will sync.

    When I do connect the phone. iTunes says back up was interupted and to click to resume, it just then hangs on time remaining without a number? If I dissconnect during this I get Error (-10) I can then access my phone in iTunes and my phone does work? In iTunes I can see all the things that were on my phone, all the Apps/Music/Phots/Other etc.. with their relevant amount (Music 8.2gb/Apps 2.1gb etc...) in the coloured bar along the bottom, so if I then click Apply you would think it would just copy them to the phone. It doesn't as soon as you click Apply  the multi coloured bar and catagories changes just to 'Other' and (1004mb) and only the basics are on my phone. No music, no additional Apps and only Camera Roll, not photos from chosen folder.
    Any suggestions would be great.

  • Unzip files from a folder which is updating regularly using multithreading

    Hi All,
    I have acode which unzip all the files from a folder .This code picks up all the zipped files at a time and then unzip it and write them to another folder but now my requirement is changed ,suppose the source folder where all the zipped files are present is refreshed or updated with new zipped files regularly then how can I implement in my code multithreading to get several files by threads and send it for unzipping.

    But my question is that if in a source folder we have several files which are in zipped format and the folder is getting updated every min (say) with new zipped files (which are dumped from some outside environment).I need to unzip all the files present in the folder ,if new one comes there then also check for the new zipped file and unzip it.You don't need to keep re-stating that.
    I had written a code for unzipping a file from a folder (thinking the folder is not updated everytime).Or that.
    Now I am thinking of using threads because if I create suppose 5 threads and every threads poll the source folder and pick up a zip file ,send it for unzipping it and again poll the source folder for any new entries?Or that.
    If using the threads here hits performace then what should I use?Err, what you presently have?
    Provide me any sample code or link that would be more useful.You've already written it.

  • Saved Search Folder Doesn't Update

    I've created a saved search folder, but it's not updating properly when I add new files to my machine. Here are the search terms:
    (kMDItemFSName ="*") && (kMDItemFSName !="temp") && (kMDItemFinderComment != "Ignore") && (kMDItemFSCreationDate > $time.today(-30)) && (kMDItemContentType = public.folder)
    Occasionally it works, but most of the time it seems stuck showing only folders it'd perviously found.

    Something went seriously awry in the date saved in the Raw Query part of user generated SavedSearches. See my reply to this post:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10292658#10292658
    What I did was to open my own RecentApps SavedSearch in Property List Editor and replace the faulty RawQuery with the one I copied from Apple's canned search. Not very elegant!
    Be sure to let Apple know this is happening to you, and it matters:

    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
    After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Aperture does not recognize that there are images to be imported on an SD card. My workaround is to copy the images from the ST card to a folder and then import the images from the folder. Aperture also imports incredibly slowly after the update to 3.4

    Aperture does not recognize that there are images to be imported on an SD card. My workaround is to copy the images from the SD card to a folder and then import the images from the folder. Aperture also imports incredibly slowly after the update to 3.4

    Check your Import settings in the Import Panel, i.e. all that might exclude the image type you want to import:
    If you did not exclude any file types, and still Aperture will not import, remove your ImageCapture preferences fro your user library:
    To remove the image capture preferences:
    If Aperture is running, quit Aperture,  and log off and on again.
    Open your user library from the Finder's Go menu: Hit Command Shift G (⌘⇧G) and then type in: ~/Library/Preferences/  then hit return.
    In the window that opens remove "com.apple.ImageCapture.plist"
    and look into the subfolder "ByHost": if there are files named com.apple.ImageCapture  something .plist  remove them too.
    then try again.
    And if that still does not help, remove the Aperture preferences as well:
    ~/Library/Preferences/aperture.plist
    Regards
    Léonie
    P.S. in MacOS Lion and later the user library ~/Library is hidden by default.
    You can reveal it also  from the Finder's "Go" menu:
    Finder > Go,   then hold down the options ⌥ key, until the Library appears in the drop-down menu, select it and open the Library folder. Then go to the "Preferences".

  • Importing and Updating Non-Duplicate Records from 2 Tables

    I need some help with the code to import data from one table
    into another if it is not a duplicate or if a record has changed.
    I have 2 tables, Members and NetNews. I want to check NetNews
    and import non-duplicate records from Members into NetNews and
    update an email address in NetNews if it has changed in Members. I
    figured it could be as simple as checking Members.MembersNumber and
    Members.Email against the existance of NetNews.Email and
    Members.MemberNumber and if a record in NetNews does not exist,
    create it and if the email address in Members.email has changed,
    update it in NetNews.Email.
    Here is what I have from all of the suggestions received from
    another category last year. It is not complete, but I am stuck on
    the solution. Can someone please help me get this code working?
    Thanks!

    Dan,
    My DBA doesn't have the experience to help with a VIEW. Did I
    mention that these are 2 separate databases on different servers?
    This project is over a year old now and it really needs to get
    finished so I thought the import would be the easiest way to go.
    Thanks to your help, it is almost working.
    I added some additional code to check for a changed email
    address and update the NetNews database. It runs without error, but
    I don't have a way to test it right now. Can you please look at the
    code and see if it looks OK?
    I am also still getting an error on line 10 after the routine
    runs. The line that has this code: "and membernumber not in
    (<cfqueryparam list="yes"
    value="#valuelist(newsmember.membernumber)#
    cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer">)" even with the cfif that Phil
    suggested.

  • Firefox launching from temp folder after update

    Not sure if this is completely normal or not, or if it's even a problem. After updating from 3.6.26 to firefox 10 my firefox, according to an antivirus log, kept launching from a temp directory like appdata\local\temp\(randomtextstring).tmp\nonlocalized\firefox.exe instead of its normal program files (x86)\mozilla firefox directory. Trying to delete history each time i'd get 10+ plugin-container.exe's popping up, forcing me to close firefox because it would just hang. I decided to just reinstall firefox 3.6.26 however I am still seeing that it is starting from a temp folder, even though the startup path is located at program files (x86)\mozilla firefox. firefox.exe in task manager is located in
    program files (x86)\mozilla firefox, but according to the log I'm looking at it starts and exits from appdata\local\temp\(randomtextstring).tmp\nonlocalized\firefox.exe
    Sorry if this seems like a stupid question, I'm just curious if this means it has not installed properly or if this is completely normal.

    I reinstalled 3.6 after I was having problems with 10. I already tried another reinstall and it does the same thing.
    Earlier I received a firefox message that a new version of 3.6 was available (3.6.26) so I upgraded. I saw then in the log that firefox was launching as firefox.exe moz-callback or something, so i decided just to upgrade to the newest version of firefox, that's when I started seeing it launch from the improper directory.
    The log I am reading from simply shows ALL .exe's that have launched and closed in order, showing it's location path, and what program opened/closed it. The temp directory and the random text string.tmp file it shows it's launching from is a random folder created by firefox during the installing and setup process. Firefox itself starts and exits perfectly fine and doesn't continue running in the background. I'm thinking it's either a logging problem with the AV's execution history log or something was wrong during installing, even though it happens each time I reinstall.

  • I install latest update from my ipad 2, after the upgrade tablet running slowly. Probably the system requirements too high for my device. I think that users with older models should be able to install IOS 6.x.x on their devices or consider buying devices

    I install latest update from my ipad 2, after the upgrade tablet running slowly. Probably the system requirements too high for my device. I think that users with older models should be able to install IOS 6.x.x on their devices or consider buying devices from other manufacturers ...
    People are dissatisfied with the new update a lot, including some of my friends and acquaintances. Is it reasonable to wait until Apple implements the possibility to return to Ios Ios 6 to 7? And how soon it can be done?
    Sorry for my english, i am from Russia.

    I have a similar issue. I recently purchased an iPad Mini, and I started off by backing it up from the apps I had on my iPhone. Now, I have a number of apps that never downloaded and that I don't want on the iPad. Some of these are apps that I don't need, while others are the iPhone versions of apps. There are something like 23 apps that I have no use for, but iTunes tries to install every time I connect. I've also tried clicking the 'Will Install' buttons. There's no way to delete these apps from the iPad without first installing them, as far as I can see, and there's no way to NOT install them, in iTunes.
    It''s not just annoying, it's causing problems with installation of larger files and movies. Now, every time I sync to the computer, I get a warning that I'm over capacity by 580 MB, and larger apps will not install! Clicking Revert and a bunch of other things doesn't work, either. And I can't just delete some of the apps, because I or my wife use them on our phones!
