Force Installation of Available Updates in Software Center

I wanted to know if it is possible in SCCM 2012 to set a deployment as "Available" so users can install applications/updates when it is convenient thru the Software Center. Next I would like to set a deadline to automatically
change the deployment to "Required" to force the installation for those that have not performed the installation? Is this possible or will I have to make the change from Available to Required manually?

I think you have this sorted now, but as mentioned by narcoticoo, you set the update deployment as *required* but until the deadline actually hits, the updates are simply available.

Who initiate the security update in software center

Friends,
How to find Who initiate the security update in software center. Some one lo-gin into server and initiate the security update in Software center ans reboot via software center in SCCM 2012 R2 . how i can find it(Who) in SCCM log file ???

That information is not logged in the log files. You're best chance would be to match the logon information (in the eventviewer) with the time that the server was restarted.

I want to update my imac software to a version that uploads the icloud icon in preferences. Which version do I need and how do I force my imac to update that software.

I am currently running OSX 10.6.8. this version does not have the icloud icon in system preferences. How do I do a forced software update to a version that allows icloud operations. To qualify I have done a number of software updates using the software update dropdown but it does not find the most recent software like mountain Lion or Mavericks etc. Why? surely if I am asking the computer to find the most recent software it would tel me that I am running an out of date software level?

Hi Tubbsy,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
When you run Software Updates from the Apple Menu, it looks for software to update for your current operating system. The first version of Mac OS X to have iCloud functionality built into the System Preferences was Mac OS X Lion 10.7. The current version of Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10 is available in the Mac App Store that you can access from the Apple Menu and it is free. Please be sure to check the system requirements to make sure your computer can support the software before downloading and installing. The attached article contains that information and instructions for downloading and installing.

How to clear/reset "Installed Software" in Software Center?

Hello!
I've done a big mistake with my application objects!
I did have two applications in SCCM 2012 with the same MSI-installation package. The reason for this is because i would like to have one that is deployed as Required (with primary device) and one that is deployed as Available for those without primary device.
Then I decided to only keep the available deployment, so i deleted the required appilcation entierly from SCCM.
Not so wise because now all the required installations is stucked in Software Center, at the "Installed Software"-tab. And there is noway to remove it.
So my question is, is there someway to reset or clear the information from software center? Or any other sulotion to my problem? :)
Best regards,
Johan Lång

It seems like it has removed the entries from the software client automatically now. But I still got problem with the main source of the problem. That I cant push out updates via software center.
Let me explain the main problem.
I had app1 as a MSI, and two application objects (AO). One AO as required and one as available, but the same MSI.
After a while I got an integration-application between app1 and another program, as a MSI so i decided to put that as a dependency to app1, but also pushed it out to all users as a required deployment, because it would not install it otherwise, if not the user
did an uninstall and then a fresh install of app1.
And for a couple of weeks ago I got my eyes on "automatically update any superseeded applications" while deploying. So i decided to use that with one AO instead of two (required/available). In the same time an update came to app1, lets call it
app1.1.
This was a perfect time to try my new discover and disabled app1 and superseeded it with app1.1 with a available deployment, with a dependency of the integration-application.
But the clients could not be updated automatically and when the user tried to update it manually via application catalog it get stucked at the last step "evaluate" before it jumps over to Software Center. And nothing else happen. Until it crasches
and warn about "it could not be evaluated" in the application catalog. Sometimes it pops up anyway in software center but it wont continue to install, and if you try to manually start the installation it get stucked at the status "Waiting"
and nothing happens.
If I login with another user I can start the installation manually and it works fine.
If I uninstall the sccm-client and install it back again, the "installed software" will be cleared and I can start the installations manually, so it pops up under "installed software" again. Without any problems.
It also worked to install if i removed the dependency of the integration-application.
So my guess is that something is getting corrupted in the user profile, but I cant find any files regarding sccm in there exept the log file for software center.
I hope you understand abit of what i try to explain :) Sorry for bad grammar!
Regards,
Johan

I want to use Native System Center Software Center Notification box or Windows Update dialogue box to force a reboot.

I'm installing software that will require a reboot. I would like to use the Windows Update dialogue box to prompt users to reboot.
Or a reboot dialogue box that mimics System Center Software Center Notification box
Does anyone know of a way to use the System Center Client notification or the Windows update box to force a reboot. This is familiar to my users and will not freak them out

The Coretech Shutdown Tool is free, excellent and would satisfy your requirement.

Hi i am trying to install windows to my macbook through boot camp and i get this message Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.!!!what can i do???please help me!

Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server. this is the message that i get a few days now that i am trying to install windows through boot camp to my macbook!does anybody knows what i can do????

You keep it on the usb stick for after you boot into Windows. From Windows you install the Windows Support software on the stick. Do you realize that you need to buy and install Windows? The Windows Support software you downloaded is only the Windows drivers for your hardware.

Security updates takes long time to install through Software Center

Hi Folks,
We have a setup with SCCM 2012 R2 CU4 as a Primary Site server where SUP also enabled. I deployed the windows security updates to the test servers collection by deployment type as Available.
I verified in test servers that all the deployed security updates are listed under Software Center client, but when I checked all the updates and tried to install. it is taking long time to install . Most of the time the updates are in “waiting to install”
status and finally ends up in failed state with error codes 0xc80003f3, 0x8007000e. Have verified all the logs windowsupdate.log, Updatesdeployment.log, WUHandler.log are points to the same error code. Found that multiple SVChost.exe process consumes more
memory during patching process.
However we have enough physical memory(2 GB) and page memory( Min 2 GB to Max 4 GB) configured on the servers (Windows 2012 R2 SP1) . Need some guidance in further troubleshooting...

Most of the servers managed by me today are having anywhere 2 - 4 GB RAM installed. How do one install the security patches through SCCM with this configuration?. Selecting more than 4 patches at the same time to install does gives memory errors.
I would suggest 4GB RAM for a modern Server OS e.g. WS2012R2 is simply too little memory.
There have been quite a lot of issues in recent months, relating to Software Updates, affecting WSUS and also ConfigMgr, e.g.

Your issue is completely different. You are running Snow Leopard. There is no download for Windows Support software for Snow Leopard, hence the error you see. Snow Leopard Windows Support software is on the Snow Leopard installation disk.
You need the Snow Leopard installation disk or a replacement for it.

Hi there
I am trying to install a HP 6300 printer. I can see it when I look to install initially. Then click on installa nd the process starts and I get a message saying it is searching for the software. However after 20 seconds or so I get the message: Can't install the software for the HP Officejet 6300 series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server. This has happned over and over. I have updated the OSx and am 10.8.5. It works on my Mac Book Pro and did once work on the Mac Book Air but stopped so I unistalled and tried to reintsall but no joy. How can i gte the right drivers onto the laptop so that the seach finds them and connects the printer that it already sees?
Many thanks

OS Mavericks - Boot Camp Assistant can not download windows support software because it is "not currently available from the Software Update server."

When trying in install windows 7 on my mac, the Boot Camp Assistant attempts to fownload windows support software. However, the program continues to return the following error: the windows support software "not currently available from the Software Update server."
Is there another way to get this software?

64 bit. I found the support drivers and got the windows installation done. When trying to run the 64 bit support drivers in Windows 7, it says my computer doesn't support 64 bit. Sooooo.....
I'm assuming I have to download the 32 bit support drivers for Windows 7.
Correct?

Application in Software Center ask again for installation after succesfull instalation

SCCM 2012 SP1 CU5
I have created msi application version 2, in superseding I configure uninstallation of old version
App deployed for collection and showed in Software Center.
If I install it in Software Center, old app is removed, new installed (appenforce.log tells it), and its ok for some time.
After PC checks for software deployment, Software Center asks to install new app again.
But its installed and works.
in AppIntentEval.log I can see this record:

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!

Available Software tab is missing from Software Center

Some users are missing the available software tab in software center. This is software that can manually be installed and is not required. Is there any specific rules for this tab to show or not to show?

Any updates?

Available Package Deployments not showing in Software Center of Domain Controller Clients

We have a SCCM 2012 R2 environment and have a pretty weird issue. I have deployed multiple 'available' software packages to a collection. The non-domain controller client receives the deployments and I can run them successfully, however the domain controller
shows nothing in the software center. But in the PolicyAgent.log of the domain controller I can see it getting the policy:
