GWMonitor lists GWIA as state Unknown

We've been having issues with GroupWise ever since we upgraded to Linux. Today's issue is the GWIA web interface. Whenever I try to connect to our gwia web interface directly on port 9850 it redirects me to GWMonitor.
And under GWMon it lists all of the GroupWise components as running normally except the GWIA.
The GWIA state is unknown. I've tried changing the port, restarting groupwise, restarting the server, changing the HTTP username and password in C1,
Normal 0 d 1 h 6 m crofton MTA 0 d 1 h 10 m 0 0 Linux 8.0.2 (12/11/2010)
Unknown 0 d 1 h 11 m GWIA.crofton GWIA 0 d 0 h 0 m N/A N/A ?
Normal 0 d 1 h 6 m po.crofton POA 0 d 1 h 10 m N/A N/A Linux 8.0.2 (12/11/2010)
Normal 0 d 1 h 6 m webacc.crofton WEBACC 0 d 1 h 10 m N/A N/A Linux 8.0.2 (12/11/2010)
Name GWIA.crofton
Type GWIA
Address SERVER-IP:9850
Poll Type XML
State Unknown
It was set to SNMP but I brought down GWMon and then Restarted the GWIA and then brought GWMon back up and it set to XML. But the same error either way.
I also made sure that the port 9850 was not in use by something else while both were down.

Well, when we switched to Linux, our GroupWise issues pretty much went away. Exact opposite of what you site. I guess YMMV.
This would not be on the other side of a Firewall by chance? Check that. You should also be able to telnet to the port if it is running and you have connectivity.

Q

WebI Error - Batch State Unknown

I keep getting and error box the shows the error message :Batch State Unknown (INF) and can't figure out the cause of the error.
Its shows up on one server in a 3 server cluster and if the load balancer shoves me to another server I cannot recreate the error. Log the user off and back in no error.
The load balancer keep the user table for 2 hours so the as long a the user logs out and back in it seems to correct the issue.
Thought? Session is expiring and this is just another way of saying that?
Case logged too so if I get some good information I will post it here!!

Hello,
This error (Hex 0xBFF62001) means the timeout of a wait or notification function expired before any desired state occurred.
Solutions: Increase value of Timeout parameter; Verify your cable connections and operation of remote devices.
Verify that you can communicate with your instrument. If you have NI-CAN 1.5, then you can use the Bus Monitor by configuring it up to CAN0 and hooking up a device to see if any frames are being read. The Bus Monitor logs all traffic on the bus.

Patch deployment with status "Enforcement state unknown"

Hi All
I am pretty new to the patch deployment.
I generated a report and see there is Last State column with "Enforcement state unknown", not sure if it means failed for those hostnames or will be retried for the installation.
Kindly clarify.

They will only start to install updates automatically when there is an active update deployment with a scheduled deadline that has past. See for a lot more information:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682168.aspx#BKMK_SUMCompliance
Also, when Days since last communication is more than 0, that's usually an indication that the client is not communicating any more. That can be caused by a lot of things including something simple as that the device is turned of, or not
connected with the network.

[SOLVED] WIFI interface has "state UNKNOWN"

I have tried to read myself to a solution for the following problem but without luck. Now I'm stuck so any solution or directions would be most welcome.
I have a BCM4312 wifi card. No interface appeared when using the b43 driver but with broadcom-wl the interface is recognised.
I can run
# ip link set wlp3s0 up
without problems but then
$ ip link
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: wlp3s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT qlen 1000
link/ether 0c:ee:e6:d2:20:c5 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: enp4s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP mode DEFAULT qlen 1000
link/ether 00:24:e8:ed:e3:c2 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
show that the state of the wifi interface wlp3s0 has changed (from down) to UNKNOWN. What does this mean and how can I get it up?
Furthermore, trying to assign an ip address gives
# dhcpcd wlp3s0
dhcpcd[312]: version 5.6.8 starting

Thanks a lot for the quick reply Trilby.
I guess I should have read more carefully. I thought it would have needed it to be up before connecting.
Following the wiki solved it.

CUPS, HP PSC 2355 and "Unable to get list of printer drivers: Unknown"

Hey fellow Archers!
The Introduction
The other day, I installed ArchLinux for the ARM processor on my GoFlex Home. Straight away I installed samba, got it set up and everything works like a charm with explosive transfer-rates compared to the old factory-firmware. Also put on a mysql server to centralize my xbmc database and pyload to download large files without having to have my laptop opened all the time. Have to admit, this Arch Linux is a glorious world!
The Setup
Well, after this positive input, now comes my problem. I wanted to share our printer on our LAN, so I did a little search to quickly find CUPS. Installed it together with all the dependencies, like foomatic, python (which was installed as pyload uses it) and all that stuff.
Changed the /etc/cups/cupsd.conf to listen on 0.0.0.0 and started the daemon.. Woohoo! Turned on the printer, opened the web interface, went to administration -> add printer and selected one of the printers available from this list:
Local printers
CUPS-PDF (Virtual PDF Printer)
HP PSC 2350 series USB MY5BNF4423KJ HPLIP (HP PSC 2350 series)
Seriel port #1
HP PSC 2350 series (HP PSC 2350 series)
HP Fax (HPLIP)
Before I proceed, I want to say that I have tried the following with both of the PSC-entries.
The Problem
Now, i selected the printer and just let the default values be, pressed continue and got this error message:
"Unable to get list of printer drivers: Unknown"
Well, googled it a bit and tried to blacklist lsusb, as well as chmod /dev/bus/usb/001/002 to 665 (even 777). Still the same error message. Also tried to install the printer with hp-setup -i which let me pick a ppd myself; didn't work either. Gave me an error message saying that it was unable to add the printer to cups. I have run out of options, and the almighty sir Google wont give me any solutions other than those which I have tried.
I even get this error message when I try to add cups-pdf (which I also installed oc).
Kind regards,
Rasmus Dencker

rac1 node database is accessible, though I would like to know how to resolve the clusterware problem.

Hi Yakub,
is this problem persistent? Does it happen every time you start node1 or is this the status after the last start?
What happened is that Oracle Clusterware got the impression that the RAC instance on node1 was not started according to some tests in the action script that is used to start the instance. Actually, some operations did not return in a timely fashion (hence, the time out in the crsd.log). According to what you said, the instance was however started - I presume a ps -ef would show that and connections against this instance are possible!?
Now, since Oracle Clusterware encountered some time outs, it cannot determine the state of the instance correctly and therefore declares the state of the resource (your rac instance) as UNKNOWN. This means: no monitoring of this resource and hence no corrective action in case of failures of this resource. In other words: for Clusterware, this instance is unmanaged.
What can you do to fix that? Well, "human intervention" is required. My suggestion would be: stop the instance explicitly (preferably using SRVCTL) and restart it using SRVCTL. After stopping the instance using that command, check the state from Clusterware perspective. It should be TARGET=OFFLINE. Make sure, your instance is down. Kill / shutdown abort the running RAC instance explicitly before attempting a restart.
Hope that helps. Thanks,
Markus

Detection state unknown for some updates

Hi
I am trying to run reports on whether certain patches are applicable in my estate. However, running the reports results in large number of clients reporting 'Detection State Unknown'. However, I know the client has run a scan as it has already sent back
data relating to other patches. I can also force a manual refresh of the scan using the control panel applet and check the logs to confirm the scan has completed successfuly.
However, I still receive 'detection state unknown'. This currrently represents over 50% of my servers.
Can anyone help as I am pulling my hair out with this?
Thanks

this is one I use:
Option Explicit
On Error Resume Next
Call RefreshServerComplianceState
' WScript.Echo "Finished"
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."

Adding new Updates makes Reports show compliance status as "Enforcement state unknown". Old updates are still installing though.

Hi, Just wondering if anyone has seen this before and resolved it?
Basically, 2012 Software Updates have been working fine for over a year. Last months Patch Tuesday updates were fine too.
However, this week I added a new update to a Software Update Group/deployment. This update did not deploy, and when I run a report, I get "Enforcement state unknown" for ALL clients in the collection. This happens to any deployment I amend. And
also if I create a new update group and new deployment - same thing - "enforcement status unknown".
However, updates previous to this week continue to download and install fine for all deployments. Deployments which I have not changed appear to continue to report correctly (unknown, compliant, pending system restart, etc).
In the SCCM console for Software Updates, the "required" and "installed" figures are still showing correctly.
Custom software packages continue to download and install too.
All servers have sufficient disk space. Most collections dont have maintenance windows, and the deadlines are correct.
Not sure what this could be, a problem with the Management Point? But I can see any errors in the "monitoring" view on the server. The client log files like "wuahandler.log" and "windowsUpdate.log" appear fine also, no obvious
errors.
I cant see any evidence of a group policy conflict. The WSUS entry is still correct in the local group policy (GPEDIT.MSC/admin template/windows comp/ windows update).
Any ideas here? Thanks

There were absolutely no errors in WUAhandler.log on existing machines - all looked normal, which baffled me. Machines with newly installed SCCM client only had machine and user policy update, so could not check for Software Updates.
However, I through web searches, I found a solution on another discussion here:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/1cefa9e0-a7f9-48d1-83b9-34d2293bab64/sccm-2012-r2-problem-with-device-deployment-user-deployments-ok?forum=configmanagerapps
Basically the issue was described as a "corrupt PADBID in the database". A SQL query code detects if the issue is present, and another SQL code fixes the issue.
What lead me to this fix was searching for this error in "CCMEXEC.LOG" online: "System task 'PolicyEvaluator_Unlock' returned error code 0x8000ffff".

Compliance State Unknown for entire collection of servers

I'm trying to run a software compliance report for a collection of about 100 servers. The software update group I'm checking them against is for Server 2008, 2008 R2, and 2012 and 2012 R2 operating system (about 80 updates).
All the servers report as "Compliance state unknown" even though I issued update scan cycle against them and waited a day.
I checked WUAHandler.log on one of the servers and it's reporting:
Group policy settings were overwritten by a higher authority (Domain Controller) to: Server http://WSUS-01 and Policy ENABLED
WUAHandler 6/18/2014 7:13:53 PM
4968 (0x1368)
Failed to Add Update Source for WUAgent of type (2) and id ({D6192AA5-3B5E-4481-BB38-01368E4902A5}). Error = 0x87d00692.
WUAHandler 6/18/2014 7:13:53 PM
4968 (0x1368)
Is it because these servers are configured for WSUS that SCCM 2012 R2's Compliance Reports cannot evaluate these systems to check against a software update group in SCCM?

Yes, but not your MP, your WSUS server where you SUP is.
Here are a couple of blog posts I did a while ago (they're for 2007 but are completely applicable to 2012):

Enforcement State Unknown but updates visible on clients?

Hi all. A strange issue has just appeared in one of our environments with software update deployments. It would appear the report "Enforcement States for a Deployment" is stuck showing clients as "Enforcement State Unknown".
The clients can see updates no problem at all, so functionally I have no issue. Updates are available and install correctly, but my issue is my deployments are now completely blind in that I have no status updates at all - 4+ days now and the status
hasn't changed. I can't see any issue on the client side - StateMessage.log indicates it can successfully forward messages.
Weirdly, this issue only seems to be affecting Software Update Deployments as software distribution reports are updating their statuses as expected.
I've checked inboxes for blacklogs and can't see anything too out-of-the-ordinary, and I've also tried the "force state refresh" VBS that's doing the rounds on these boards. I've even tried reinstalling the client and recreating the deployments, but all
these actions have me believe the issue is with my SCCM server only.
Can anyone help me?
EDIT - The plot thickens somewhat. The report "Evaluation states for a deployment" has just changed to "Evaluation Succeeded", but "Enforcement States for a Deployment" remains at "Enforcement State Unknown". HELP!

I think, you need to take a pause and analyse the log files to verify that everything is gng well.
The below blog posts would help you in doing that,

Enforcement State Unknown issue in SCCM 2012 Patch management report.

Software updates are installed on machine. All updates shown in updates history, but machine not reporting back as Complaint. It showing in Enforcement State Unknown. Please help to resolve the issue.

Hi,
Have you tried to "Run Summarization" while right click the software update group?
If it still shows unknown, please check StateMessage.log on a client that updates show unknown to see whether the state messages have been forwarded successfully.
Best Regards,
