How to block specific updates?

Let's say you have a particular bad update that slipped through your software update piloting process and now you need to temporarily - or permanently - block this update. What's the best way to accomplish this?
One possible answer is removing the offending software update from all software update groups (edit membership) and deleting its content from all deployment packages - but this doesn't necessarily tell clients not to apply the update: clients that have already
determined the update is applicable and downloaded content will still apply it, depending on timing.
Is there actually a way to directly tell clients 'do not apply <this> update'?
born to learn!

No, there's no way to block an update to my knowledge.
Removing it from the update groups is sufficient though to prevent it from being installing unless you are doing this at the very last minute. Once clients update their polices (which by default happens every 60 minutes) they will see that the update
no longer has a deadline or is even deployed and so won't install it.

How to block specific DL in SharePoint 2010 application.

Hi All,
We have SharePoint 2010 farm. I have a requirement to block specific Distribution List which should not recognized when user trying to give access at (user.aspx page)site level.
How can i  restrict this in SharePoint 2010 farm.
Regards

You can use content editor webpart to run javascript. Java script will redirect users from accessing the site. You need t o specify the user Id; it wont work on DL
Blow is the java script:
==================Script Start ===============
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(getWebUserData, "sp.js");
var context = null;
var web = null;
var currentUser = null;
    function getWebUserData() {
        context = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
        web = context.get_web();
        currentUser = web.get_currentUser();
       currentUser.retrieve();
        context.load(web);
        context.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.onSuccessMethod), Function.createDelegate(this, this.onFailureMethod));
    function onSuccessMethod(sender, args) {
        var userObject = web.get_currentUser();
        if (userObject.get_loginName() == 'i:0#.w|domain\userid')
           window.location="/businesses/pulpandfibre";
    function onFailureMethod(sender, args) {
        alert('request failed ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
=============Script End===============

Update Retriever - how to hide specific updates?

Hi,
while reading the System Update Deployment Guide, I stumbled upon the possibility of hiding updates from automatic downloading into the repository. As there are certain software products distributed via lenovos Servers, which I do not want to install onto our companies' computers, I would like to let Update Retriever skip these updates.
I wasn't able to find the described funcionality in the program yet. Does someone of you know how to hide those updates?
Thanks in advance,
mat_ban

Allan, as far as I can see it only allows me to include or not include Metadata by checkin the box in the Image Export window. I want to include most Metadata, particularly my name and copyright. There is one field where I keep my notes that I do not want to send with the photo.This is where my dilemma lies.
thanks

How to block specific incoming calls

CCM 4.1(3)sr2
I am currently able to block specific calling numbers from PSTN with translation rules like this in my h323 gateway:
voice translation-rule 10
rule 1 reject /323xxx9650/
rule 2 reject /323xxx9580/
Then I use it with a call-block translation profile on the dial peer like this:
dial-peer voice 1 pots
call-block translation-profile incoming call_block_profile
destination-pattern 9T
progress_ind setup enable 3
incoming called-number .T
direct-inward-dial
port 2/0:23
Now I want to convert to MGCP and find that doing this same thing in Callmanager is [to me] less than obvious. Any thoughts?

Stick with H323 if you are wanting to do call control for PSTN calls, because, with MGCP, it is doable from CallManager using a combination of Route Patterns / Translation Patterns, but it is MUCH more convoluted than what you currently have established with your translation rules, which look pretty clean to me. If there is no GOOD reason to change, leave it alone....

How to block Windows update services?

We have a need to prevent windows update traffic to flow thru our network on certain dates. Basically this type of traffic will clog our mpls bandwidth preventing other type of traffic to flow. We are using up to some part QoS on out routers but it not working all the time. Eg, we put in ip address of one windows update server but updates are pulled of the other, then you enter second ip and updates are coming from third, etc.
I would like to explore other, a bit more controllable options utilizing Cisco's technology: ASA 8.4, IronPort WSA.
In summary, to create a traffic policy, not specific to IP addresses, that will kick in at certain date/time, be on for certain period of time and turned off after (automatically).
Any ideas, suggestions how to tackle this issues would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,.

In WSA, go to Web Security Manager/Define Custom Time ranges, and create a time range, call it "Workday", set it for the time you want to block.
Create a new Access Policy, set the identies to All Users, click Advanced at the bottom.
Set the time range to the Workday time range.
Set the user agent to the Microsof Windows Updates (Its under Common User Agents/Others)
In the Protocols section of the policy, set it for "Define custom settings", and tell it to http, ftp, etc.
There are other ways to do it, creating an Identity for example, and then creating a policy for that, but this should work...

How to Block Specific IP Address (YouTube)

This is a follow-up question to one I posted earlier this week. I want to block YouTube (and a handful of other sites) from my stepson's new iMac and it was suggested I try/use Leopard's "Parental Control" feature.
I tried that, but the problem is, when he attempts to visit the site, a warning page pops up informing him Parental Controls have blocked the site, then gives him the option to log in as the administrator or to email the admin for access...and that's pretty much the worst thing that could happen. He has serious Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and it HUGELY upsets him that he can't guess the Admin password.
Soooooo...can anyone suggest an alternative means of blocking a specific IP address that does so WITHOUT serving up a "Contact the Administrator" message? Someone has suggested blocking the IP address via the network router, but I haven't a clue how to do that.
Any help?
Thanks.

Something else you might look at to see if it is suitable for you is to use the DNS servers from www.opendns.com (on your router for example) and set up an account on there, then exclude the sites you don't want accessed - either by the names of the sites OR by the category of site they are.
What that does is NOT actually "blocking the site" as such, what it does is when the workstation wants to resolve the hostname into an IP address, OpenDNS will fail the request. The user will see a browser page from OpenDNS saying that the site was blocked by the network administrator - you can change the wording and even add an icon if you like.
If the user doesn't have admin access to the workstation (whereby they could change the DNS server locally to your ISP's normal DNS, which presumably doesn't offer this sort of lookup-filtering) and they don't know the IP address(es) of the sites they want to access - obviously if the workstation doesn't have to go to a DNS to look the address up, it doesn't matter whether the DNS is blocking the lookup for you - this works well.
There's more information on www.opendns.com - as I said maybe it won't be appropriate for you, but if it is, it's pretty easy to set up and to administer.

How to disable specific updates?

Hi, I have an old iMac - 2007 - the oldest kid on the block that can support Mavericks... I am very happy about that, and actually thepeformance on my old dude improved tremendously after upgrading to mavericks... Love it.
I have one minor issue though. I can't upgrade iMovie on it because my video card is not supported. But I can't find a way to disable the update either... It keeps poping up and asking me to upgrade iMovie. Is there a way to disable this just for iMovie? I love the autoupgrades... don't want to disable it completely though.
thanks,
Marcelo.

Some folks report that if you mouse over the text of the update description and right click, you are given the option to choose to ignore the update. Others report that doesn't work for them.

How To Block a User From Changing Total Field In AR Invoice

Hi all,
I would like to find out how to block a user from being able to change the total field at the bottom right hand side of the AR Invoice. Currently if a user creates an invoice and is still busy in that invoice they can adjust the total field which in turn will update the discount field as well.
Is this simply an authorization issue or am I going to have to do it in the transaction notification?
We are using SAP Business One PL 30 currently.

Hi
Please review by note again -This is by system design .
I don't know why you are so worried abt this because by setting up discount max ,if user cannot post the document ,that means it is not in the system ,no matter they change multiple times in the fields .
But I think your scenario is different ,
You are copying with certain discount from Delivery to AR invoice and i think you don't want user to change the discount field , then you can solve your issue by using approval or sp_notification
If you really want it to be greyed out ,I think you might have to go through by SDK or Boyum addon.
Thank you
Bishal

How to block an order if the price is too low?

Hello,
My problem is :
How to block an order if the price is too low?
I created a new type of condition ZMIN and an access by material.
When the net price is below the minimum price the system must position the order on incomplete document for error of price.
Thank you in advance.

Hello,
you can enter a lower limit in the condition record:
Lower limit of the condition rate/amount
Indicates whether, during document processing, the system checks if manual changes fall short of the lower limit allowed for the corresponding condition record.
Use
When you maintain the scales in a condition record, the system checks whether the scale value falls below the lower limit.
Or you can use the flag 'conditon update'.
Condition update
Controls whether limit values are relevant for pricing.
E.g.: you can make the use of a particular condition record in the document dependent on a specified total value.
This total value can be specified in the condition record.
I hope that the information are helpful.
With best regards

How to block an invoice if the value of a post is zero?

Hello,
In the rules of copy we use the field " Pricing type " with the value " C = Copy manual pricing elements and redetermine the others ".
The order is complete and the price of the post is not equal to zero.
During the invoicing the system makes a new search for the prices in the tables of conditions.
If the condition does not exist in the date of invoice the post takes the zero value.
How to block an invoice if the value of a post is zero?
There is no incompleteness procedure for the invoice.
The value of the post is the result of several conditions and we cannot make them obligatory.
Who already has to meet this problem with the recalcul of the price in the invoicing?
Best regards

Hi,
It is not the total invoice which is equal to zero but only one post.
As I explained it at first the problem is the following one:
In the rules of copy we use the field " Pricing type " with the value " C = Copy manual pricing elements and redetermine the others ".
he order is complete and the price of the post is not equal to zero.
+During the invoicing the system makes a new search for the prices in the tables of conditions.
If the condition does not exist in the date of invoice the post takes the zero value.
I look for a solution to block the creation of the invoice if a post only is equal to zero after the updating of the prices.
Thanks

How to block articlee for purchases

we are planning to block some of articles for purchases. However we want to allow for stock transfers using stock transfer requests( ME21N-UB doc type).
when i kept 01 Blocked for procment/whse in X-site status of baisc data tab system is not allowing for stock transfer order creation also.
plz suggest how to block articles for purchases without impacting for stock transfers.
what is the usage of follwing selections for blocking
01     Blocked for procment/whse
02     Blocked for task list/BOM
03     Blocked for Purchasing

Hello,
If you want to block articles from procuring into DCs and do not want to block DC to Store movements, you may block articles in site-specific Block status (MARC-MMSTA) in Article/DC view. So DC to Store STOs can be created.
You may see the definitions of various blocking statuses in transaction OMS4. For example, 01 Blocked for procment/whse means blocked from Purchasing,Forecasting and RP (No Message, Warning or Error Message).
Thanks,
Venu
