How To Disable Update Service Prompt

Hello,
I am deploying NI 488.2 onto multiple remote systems using silent installation. The installation works well except that an NI Update Service prompt appears after restarting. I can disable the prompt by unchecking the "periodic check..." check box in the NI Update Service settings. However, I want to be able to "uncheck" this box during or immediately after the installation. Is there a configuration file or registry entry that I can use to remotely disable the update service prompts? Thank you for your help!!

Hi Steve,
I'm referring to the command line arguments used when automating installation of NI installers. KnowledgeBase 4GGGDQH0 has more explicit instructions for automating installation.
If you're not automating installation, you can manually deselect the request to contact National Instruments for new notifications and updates in the installer dialog.

How to disable Bonjour service advertising in Yosemite

Hi there,
I'm trying to disable the Bonjour service advertising in Yosemite / Mac OS X 10.10.
Unfortunately the instructions in OS X: How to disable Bonjour service advertising without disabling DNS no longer apply, since Yosemite no longer has /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist
I did some digging around and there's someone who made a script to disable it in various Mac OS versions, including supposedly Yosemite: https://github.com/MacMiniVault/Mac-Scripts/blob/master/disablebonjour/disablebo njour-README.md
I had a look at the script to find out what it does and manually inserted "--no-multicast" as string under Program Arguments in /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.discoveryd.plist
Doing so, will mess up the wi-fi. Networks only show when wi-fi is off, and turning it on makes it seem like it's off and I'm never able to connect until I undo the changes described above.
Wondering if:
1) The result from changes above is expected or is it a bug?
2) If Apple can update OS X: How to disable Bonjour service advertising without disabling DNS to include instructions for Yosemite.
3) Did anyone here manage to disable Bonjour service advertising in Yosemite without introducing any new issues?
Thanks!

So far, it doesn't appear to work correctly. I've posted more details in a thread here:

Hi Venkat,
See if this helps (as taken from Adobe helpx http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/disable-update-manager-administrators-cs3.html. Looks like CS3 & CS4, I know. But worth giving a shot:
On Windows XP or Windows Vista
      Using Regedit.exe, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe
      Create a new key in this folder named "Updater"
      Create a new DWORD value within this key named "Enterprise with a value of "1"
Also, try one or both of these:
HKLM\Software\Adobe\Updater - Create a DWORD named 'Enterprise' with value '1'.
HKCU\Software\Adobe\Updater - Create a DWORD named 'Enterprise' with value '1'.
HKLM - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
HKCU - HKEY_CURRENT_USER
(I'm sure you're aware of this, but for other users who visit this thread for similar issue - this will help!)
Let us know how it goes.

How to disable updates and hide set as default browser option in firefox 31.0 for many users,like changing the setttings in any file

Hi,
I am trying to disable updates, set as default browser option and import settings from other browers permanently for many users for firefox 31.0.
can you please help me with that. I know settings are going to prefs.js file in user profile. How can make this permanent for many users.

Hi gaurav3012,
Permanent change would be locking preferences: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences]
However importing many users profiles to different computers may require a new profile for each user.
Currently there is an option to import bookmarks from other browsers, but not preferences.
Update preferences can be read about here: [[Configuration Options for Updates]]
Firefox ESR is also another version of Firefox that is meant for Enterprise environments [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/] that mostly has their support on their mailing list.

Any suggestion on how to stop "update service provider"

Every time I connect my iPhone to my iMac computer, iTunes keeps asking to update my service provider. I keep updating the settings, but it keeps asking me to update service provider every time I connect. How do I stop this from happening?

How do you update service partition?

i have a t61 with vita home prem. i did service pack 1 and all the t61 updates. how do i update the service partition so if i restore the system, i will install all the updates? the lenovo update were almost a gig. can anyone tell me where the lenove updates get downloaded to?

As other already said above, the service partition remains in it's initial state and doesn't evolve as your system partition does over the time. Thus what the service partition offers, is more like restoring a virgin system e.g. the state the notebook was when delivered from the factory.
A better strategy for what you might have in mind is, to perform continously/incremental system partition image backups onto some external connected backup-harddisk. Those image backups will then contain the momentary whole actual state of your system (including played in service packs, driver updates etc.) and when in trouble you can restore a much more actual state of what your system contains, without playing again in SPs, updates etc. since those are already inside and part of your backup images.
You can perform such image backups with the help of Rescue and Recovery or some thir party tool like Acronis TrueImage.etc.

How to disable "Update to Adobe ReaderX!" popup on terminal server

We have one of our clients on a Citrix farm that utilizes 3 Windows 2003 terminal servers. I keep Adobe Reader patched manually, and it's currently at 9.4.5. My "problem" is that my users get nagging popups from Adobe asking if they want to update to X. Is there any way to disabled this? Google hasn't been much help, although I was able to disabled Adobe Reader 9.0 updater with a registry key, it seems like this popup is of a different nature. Or, will disabling Updater (HKLM\Software\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\FeatureLockDown\bUpdater:0), also disable these popups? Thanks!

If you are asking about disabling this dialog below, can you try
1. setting bUpdater DWORD value to 0 in registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\FeatureLockDown
Notes:
a. this will disable Adobe Acrobat\Reader Updater
b. on 64bit systems you may have to try to set bUpdater in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\FeatureLockDown
2. setting iReaderMajorVersionUpdateDialogDoNotShowAgain DWORD value to 1 in the registry
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\AVAlert\cCheckbox
Note,
This one is per User setting and does not affect Updater

How to disable updates for terminal services.

We have installed firefox on our terminal servers. but currently it is set for auto updates. We need to disable auto updates on a server level so that we have consitancy of version across the board. The solutions I've searched via Google all are solutions for Firefox 2.x but now version 9.0 is out the same methodolgy doesn't apply.

Use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify default values.
Place a file local-settings.js in the defaults\pref folder where you also find the file channel-prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // use this to disable the byte-shift
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
You can use these functions in mozilla.cfg:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes
lockPref("app.update.enabled", false);

How to Disable Updates in Adobe Acrobat Standard

About 8 months ago we installed about 40+ Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.0 installations throughout our environment. We then have had the time to create a completely hands free installation .msi that disables the AutoUpdate feature and a configures a few more items.
My question is:
How can I disable the AutoUpdate feature on Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.0 without having to go into the Edit>Preferences Menu and deselect it?
Thanks for your time.

How to disable web service authentication by sap-user string in url

Hi Experts,
I am publish some RFC function as webservice for my SAP AS ABAP, i set the authentication as basic. I can using http basic authentication to call the service and get the result. But it also accept passing user/password through the url string: http://localhost:8001/sap/bc/soap/wsdl11?services=BAPI_PO_CHANGE&sap-client=100&sap-user=myId&sap-password=myPassword
I want to disable this, make it no user/password through url string. Can anyone tell me how to do it, thanks.
Best regards,
Peter

Well, it's not a backdoor - but (extremely) bad style: an URL should never contain any authentication data (like UID & PWD) nor should it ever contain any (security) session ID (which, if valid, would allow to skip authentication).
So, I agree with you / your customer: it should be (made) possible to configure the system to discard / ignore any authentication data which is contained in the URL.
I recommend to submit a customer message to SAP (using message component BC-MID-ICF). You might refer to this SDN posting (by providing the URL) in the support ticket.
PS: Basic Authentication is not much better but at least the information (UID & PWD) is not sent in the clear (although simply Base64-encoded) and not in the URL (but in the http header). Sending cleartext data in the URL is really the worst. The best is: use stronger authentication mechanisms (e.g. X.509 client certificates, Kerberos, Biometric authentication mechanisms, etc.).

How to disable updates on a Galaxy S4

Is there a way to disable or turn off the Verizon updates to a Galaxy S4?
After the last big update, I had to do a factory reset and rebuild the phone from scratch.

Why don't we start a GRASS ROOTS Demand to be able to control the fate of our phones.
I RESENT having these updates FORCED on us by VZW and Samsung.
I RESENT being a Guinea pig for their programming faults.
THe last update - I resisted for 4 weeks after hearing on the bulletin board of the nightmares encountered. (Do you know how many times I had to reject that message???
Went to SUPPORT and checked and was reassured that ALL of the issues had been fixed. Finally, allowed the update. It bricked my phone. The replacement phone had 2 major problems (could not hear the phone call and the battery would drain from 100% to 30 % IN THE MORNING!
FINALLY a new refurbished phone solved the problem AFTER HOW MANY HOURS OF MY TIME with Verizon level 1,2 and 3 and Samsung level 1 and 2 support??
These are OUR phones.
We should NOT have to receive and change our phone if it is working correctly unless we are CONVINCED that the update gives us an advantage AND WORKS!!!
We could be NOTIFIED that an update is available (Like the USED to do) and then update at OUR discretion when it was convenient.
This probably will be deleted by the monitors, But it did help me feel good to get it off of my chest.
Can someone MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE than I initiate the petition?
Thanks
