Force servers to update status in Deployment Summarization.

Hi,
I'm experiencing an issue where some clients do not update Deployment Status in time for our Software Update Group Deployments.
As an example i have a Collection with a maintenance Window Configured for 01:00-05:00 Every night, this Collection has several Software Update Groups deployed as required.
The software updates gets deployed 100% fine with no errors on all the servers in the Collection. However we experience that when we update the deployment or suftware update Group with 'Run Summarization' or even wait 3 days, we will still have some clients
standing with 'Unknown' / 'Waiting for Maintenance Window' / 'Updates Downloaded' as status in the Deployments summarization. The Client Settings tells the clients to run Software Update evaluation/scan every day, and we also try manually doing it, but still
no status updates.
Has anyone experienced this before? How can we force the servers deployment summary status to be updates so they show as in compliance?

Hi,
I saw the following script still can be run in SCCM 2012 to resync software updates compliance. You could try to run this code.
Sub RefreshServerComplianceState()
' Initialize the UpdatesStore variable.
dim newCCMUpdatesStore
' Create the COM object.
set newCCMUpdatesStore = CreateObject ("Microsoft.CCM.UpdatesStore")
' Refresh the server compliance state by running the RefreshServerComplianceState method.
newCCMUpdatesStore.RefreshServerComplianceState
' Output success message.
wscript.echo "Ran RefreshServerComplianceState."
End Sub

Update status is incorrect

When I run update status reports, some computers show "not needed" for an update that is clearly needed. For instance, if I run a compliance report and look for the status of KB2775511, I get a lot of computers showing "Update is not required"
- however, these computers don't have KB2775511 installed, and clearly need it.
In fact, each client believes it needs the update because it's listed as "Missing" when I check the CCM_UpdateStatus WMI class at "root/ccm/SoftwareUpdates/UpdatesStore". Furthermore, if I deploy the update via SCCM to one of these computers,
the computer recognizes it needs the update and installs it. So it seems that the report (or wherever the reports gets its information) is what's at fault here.
The other odd thing I notice about the report is that the computers with incorrect statuses have very recent dates for "Last State Received", and no date for "Last State Change". This is different from computers that are correctly
reporting their status, which have values for both, typically with older dates.
Any idea why my reports are incorrect?

Hi,
Have you checked the following log files:
StateMessage.log(Client)
It records details about software updates state messages that are created and sent to the management point.
MP_Relay.log(Site system server)
It records the transfer of files that are collected from the client.

Acrobat 9.1 Update - Silent Install - Deploy is not "Silent"

Acrobat 9.1 Update - Silent Install / Deploy is not "Silent" or Quiet
When Installing and/or Deploying the Update for Acrobat Pro/Std 9.0 in Silent mode:
AcroProStdUpd910_T1T2_incr.msp /q /l adobe91.log
AcroProStdUpd910_T1T2_incr.msp /qn
I get a "File Transfer" like status window that pop's up.
It is very brief, and all is well.
The problem is we're trying to reach 0% intrusion on the customers that this will be deployed to.
Is there another slash that is missing or does the install process just have this and we'll have to live with it?
I ran the patch in normal mode and you can see the pop-up during the install process in-between:
Optimizing Performance and Publishing Product Information.
Please Advise.
Thank you.

I know this post is a few months old, but for those that still need the info:
Updating Adobe Acrobat Professional from 9.0.0 to 9.1.2
1. Download the 2 patches, AcroProStdUpd910_T1T2_incr.msp (this updates to 9.1.0) and AcrobatUpd912_all_incr.msp (this updates to 9.1.2) and place them in the same folder.
If you are already at 9.1, you don't need the first patch.
2. Copy the AcroPro.msi file from C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Setup Files\guid (I didn't feel like typing out the whole string) to the folder with the patches. This is where the setup placed this file for my installation of CS4; your location could be in a different spot.
3. Create your script with the following 2 lines:
msiexec /p "%installdir%\AcroProStdUpd910_T1T2_incr.msp" /qn /norestart REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=omus
msiexec /p "%installdir%\AcrobatUpd912_all_incr.msp" /qn /norestart REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=omus
Substitute your path to the folder with the patch files for %installdir% above.
Obviously, this procedure is for updating Windows only. This was only tested on Windows XPSP3 with Adobe Acrobat Professional 9.0.0 as installed as part of CS4 Master Collection.

Oracle VM 3.1.1 Manager - OVM Servers in "Starting" status

Hi,
today I've downloaded Oracle VM Manager 3.1.1(Upgrade only) from e-delivery, and upgraded my previous version of OVMM 3.0.3 without any problems. My servers are still running on OVM Server 3.0.3 version.
Usually, my practice for upgrading was:
- first upgrade OVMM
- login into OVMM
- migrate some VMs to free-up one OVM server
- then I upgrade that server to newer version of OVM Server
- bring back VMs to updated server to free-up another one and so on.
After login into new OVMM 3.1.1, I see all my servers, storage and VMs running on these servers as they was set before. But, my servers are in Starting state. I cannot manage any of my VMs, nothing! Later on, I've manually restarted one server(S1) and tried to upgrade it to OVM 3.1.1 version but I had some problems with mounting ISO, so I've only restated it. After that, that server(S1) showed as Running and OK. Then I tried to do that with another server(S2), migrated VMs to S1 server, restarted S2 but it remained Starting.
So now my situation is:
- have one server(S1) in Running state with several VMs
- other servers are in Starting state also with some VMs
I cannot shutdown servers, as theirs status is not Running, cannot migrate or manage VMs at all.
Please, how can I set right status for my servers without shutting VMs?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
now I've got very serious situation. I've reinstalled OVMM 3.1.1 with -uuid option, and tried to rediscover servers. Only one server shows up, S1, no other servers, they cannot be added. Error from ovs-agent log on these servers show this message when I try to rediscover it:
ERROR (OVSCommons:143) catch_error: rpmdb open failed
Luckly, my VMs are working fine, but now I'm not sure till when they will.
Is there any possible solution to resolve this?
Best regards,
I resolved ERROR (OVSCommons:143) catch_error: rpmdb open failed by executing two commands on each server that I couldn't add:
rm -rf /var/lib/rpm/__db*
rpm --rebuilddb
after this my servers automatically were added in OVMM. Then, I rediscovered repository and my VMs showed up as well. So, could it be possible that corrupted rpm database caused all this?
Thanks.

Set on which day of the week to receive the Update Status Summary

Hi all,
currently it is set to weekly, i received on Friday. Is it possible to be change this day to be different? For example Monday, or Saturday? Thanks in advance
WSUS version 3.2.7600.226

The weekly Update Status Summary is driven by when you originally configured the "Send status reports" option. The report will be generated on the day-of-week that you enabled the option.
To reset (set) the desired day of week, disable the notification functionality, and then re-enable it on the day you want the report sent.

Publish Server Update status using IIS

Hi, I had setup the WSUS on a 2012R2 for my server environment. My job is to approve the updates and work with server owners (eg. Application team). May I know how to publish the server update status/report using WSUS server with IIS.
My other IT team can go to the site for checking their servers' update status and carry on the manual update job via remote desktop. Rather than remote to each of their server to check the updates been push.
I saw this feature before when I was with my ex-company. The WSUS team will send us a link and I will use the site to sort out those server which belongs to me to verify any new updates been pushed.
Appreciate your feedback soon.

Hi,
As far as I know, there is no web management UI for WSUS.
If we want to manage the WSUS server remotely, we can install the WSUS Administration console.
To download WSUS Administration console, please click the link below:

Automaitc Updates through SCCM 2012 not showing up on the updates status

Hi,
I have configured Automatic Update rule on SCCM 2012 and it works fine but on the client machine i see this.
This is the update status it shows which means updates are not being installed since long time.
But when i see the update history it shows me the latest updates installed.
Why would this happen? please suggest.
Regards,
Maqsood

Hi,
That is as expected as the updates are installed using SCCM and not the Windows Update Agent, if you deploy a client using SCCM OSD and install software updates using SCCM and not WSUS/Windows Update it will actually say:
"Updates were installed: Never"

Re-download a Software Update to a Deployment Package

Hi,
Is there a way to force SCCM to re-download a Software Update into a Deployment Package?
When you download a Software Update (right-click the update and click download), the wizard asks which Deployment Package to add it to (an existing package or create a new one). The update is then downloaded to the UNC path specified in the package
with each update under a different directory (named as a GUID).
My issue is that many of these GUID directories have been accidentally deleted from the UNC path. I know how it happened and that isn't the issue here - I simply want to download the updates again. I would like to right-click my Software Update
group, select "Download", point it to the existing package and have all the updates download again.
When I try and do this, the wizard works fine and it processes each update and says "Success" - however, they are not actually re-downloaded! It's like there is a link somewhere between the update and the package such that it knows it should
already be there and therefore it skips over it without actually checking whether it really does exist.
Is there a way to force SCCM 2012 to ignore the fact that it thinks the update is already there and re-download it? What I really want to do is change the "Downloaded" field from "Yes" to "No" which I think would achieve
what I want to do - I just can't find a way to do it.
What am I missing?
Cheers,
David

I had this same basic problem on a new SCCM 2012 R2 suite I built. I made all the Software Update Groups and Packages and deployed them. They all worked except for the one for Office 2010. Errors said could not process that package, couldn't find a
folder within the source location for the package, and on the DPs the Office 2010 package was there but had 0 for the size of the package.
I deleted the Office 2010 source update folder and package. Then you go to the updates in question, r-click and select deploy (it'll let you do that even if it thinks it's already deployed), create the new package, let the download run, r-click, and edit
membership as needed, and deploy. This worked for me.

How can I force a library update without re-importing songs?

I have thousands of MP3s that are already imported into iTunes (v5.0.1.4). Unfortunately my ID tags are far from complete and I use another software package to modify them on a regular basis. The problem is that iTunes does not recognize these changes (since I suppose it has already stored the info about the MP3 in its library during the initial import). I know I can remove the MP3 from the library and re-import it, but I really don't want to do so. Is there any other way of forcing a library update?

OK. I just want it to read the info from my iTunes folder
(Edit>Preferences>Advanced>iTunes Music Folder Location) and use that to update the *itl file. My current itl file is a backup from last week, but the iTunes music folder had several additions during the last few days
However, after renaming and running:
Script: C:\update.js
Line: 11
Char: 2
Error: Object doesn't support this property or method

[CS3 JS] How to force XMP metadata update for a thumbnail?

Hi Folks,
In a JavaScript in Bridge CS3, I'm updating a value in the XMP metadata for a Thumbnail. Later in the script I want to read the updated XMP metadata information from the Thumbnail, but often Bridge hasn't updated the metadata by the time I read it. In other words, my script reads the value prior to the update. I'm guessing there's a caching issue going on.
I'm new to Bridge scripting, and I am hoping someone here can offer suggestions on how I can (or, even *if* I can) force Bridge to update the XMP metadata cache for a file so that when I read it later in the script it will reflect the recent changes. I've tried using Thumbnail.refresh(), but that doesn't seem to do the trick. I don't mind a slower script, I just want to be able to read the correct value.
Thanks in advance for any help!
-- Jim

Hi David,
I'm running this script on a MacBook Pro, 2.5GHz, 4GB RAM.
Here is a sample JSX that shows the issue I'm having:
#target "bridge-2.0"
main();
function main() {
    if( xmpLib == undefined ) {
        var pathToLib = Folder.startup.fsName + "/AdobeXMPScript.framework";
        var libfile = new File( pathToLib );
        var xmpLib = new ExternalObject("lib:" + pathToLib );
    var myValue = "Headline Test";
    var myFilePath = "~/Desktop/TestFile.tif";
    var curHeadlineStr = XMPGetHeadline(myFilePath);
    $.writeln("Headline value: \"" + curHeadlineStr + "\"");
    XMPWriteHeadline(myFilePath, myValue);
    // *** I would like to refresh the cache here ***
    curHeadlineStr = XMPGetHeadline(myFilePath);
    $.writeln("Headline value: \"" + curHeadlineStr + "\"");
function XMPGetHeadline(theFilePath) {
    var thumb = new Thumbnail(File (theFilePath) );
    md = thumb.synchronousMetadata;
    xmp = new XMPMeta(md.serialize());
    var myHeadlineXMPProp = xmp.getProperty
        (XMPConst.NS_PHOTOSHOP, "Headline", XMPConst.STRING);
    return myHeadlineXMPProp;
function XMPWriteHeadline(theFilePath, theTextStr){
    var thumb = new Thumbnail(File (theFilePath) );
    md = thumb.synchronousMetadata;
    xmp = new XMPMeta(md.serialize());
    var myOrigHeadlineXMPProp = xmp.getProperty
        (XMPConst.NS_PHOTOSHOP, "Headline", XMPConst.STRING);
    xmp.deleteProperty(XMPConst.NS_PHOTOSHOP, "Headline");
    xmp.setProperty(XMPConst.NS_PHOTOSHOP, "Headline", theTextStr, 0, XMPConst.STRING);
    var updatedPacket = xmp.serialize
        (XMPConst.SERIALIZE_OMIT_PACKET_WRAPPER | XMPConst.SERIALIZE_USE_COMPACT_FORMAT);
    thumb.metadata = new Metadata(updatedPacket);
To run this script, in main(), set the myFilePath variable to the path of a file that has an "IPTC Code" "Headline" property.
This script, when run, sets the "Headline" property value to the value of myValue. After runing the script for the first time, take a look at the console log. You should see that Headline value displayed does not change between the two console entries. My log looks like this after the first run:
Headline value: "undefined"
Headline value: "undefined"
The thing is, the second entry in the console listing, above, was created after the Headline value was set by XMPWriteHeadline(). The two values should be different between the two console entries.
If you run the script a second time against the same file, you will see that the Headline value does contain the value that was written in the first run of the script--it just took some time to update the cache, I'm guessing. Here's the second run's log:
Headline value: "Headline Test"
   Headline value: "Headline Test"
So, what I'm looking for is a way to insert code (where the comment line "//*** I would like to refresh the cache here ***" appears), to force Bridge CS3 to refresh its cache so that when I call XMPGetHeadline() after calling XMPWriteHeadline(), the Headline value will return the value that was just written.
I hope this is clear enough...
Thanks!!!!

My iPod touch 2nd generation forced a software update to apply to my ipod via itunes. what effect did this update have on my ipod software, as i still cannot download some apps?

My iPod touch 2nd generation forced a software update to apply to my ipod via itunes. what effect did this update have on my ipod software, as i still cannot download some apps?
I would appreciate your support to help me figure out if this problem is solvable.
The error comes about whilst trying to download certain apps from the app store, including CSR Racing which when i tap on install a message box pops up saying "This App Is Incompatible With This iPod touch", another time for a different app it came up with a message saying "This app requires OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics capability.
Main questions:
What was achieved from the latest forces iPod touch 2g update (17/07/2012)?
solvable problem(s)?
Will i need to buy a more recent model of iPod touch if this isnt fixable?
ps. My iPod has lasted me 3 years so far so i am not suprised, still in good nick!
thanks, Sim x

i saw something on itunes just a moment ago saying iPod 1g can download 3.1 update for £2.99, will this help with the compatability of the csr racing app at all with that individual problem? |http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2052] (html for this)
i didnt think graphics could change via software updates

Best way to Report on OS and Security Update Status?

Now that our OS X roll-out is nearly complete, we need to be able to get reports on all client mMacs , their OS versions and, more specifically, their security update status.
The "Software Difference" report seems to be falling short on showing the information we're looking for. And the "System Overview" report seems only to show straight OS and point-release level, not security update info.
Can someone recommend a better way to get this information?

I haven't come across a command that can show what updates have been installed, but to see a list of updates that a computer needs, try sending
softwareupdate -l
(that's the lower-case letter L as in "list") through the Send Unix Command (send as root). Here's the full details of the command:
usage: softwareupdate <mode> [<args> ...]
     -l | --list          List all appropriate updates
     -d | --download          Download Only
     -i | --install          Install
          <label> ...     specific updates
          -a | --all          all appropriate updates
