Is there a way to monitor Windows Updates

We're looking for a way to use SCOM 2012 to alert us when Windows Updates are ready to install on our servers.  I've been able to create an event based monitor that generates an alert when the following Event is detected.
Log Name:       System
Source:           Microsoft-Windows-WindowsUpdateClient
Event ID:         18
Task Category: Automatic Updates
Level:              Information
Keywords:        Success,Download
User:               SYSTEM
The only issue is that I can't seem to find a way to get this monitor to self-resolve.  Is there a method I can use to get this to self-resolve once the updates have been applied?  Or is there a different way all together that I can use to monitor
when Windows Updates are ready to install?

We're using both SCOM and SCCM.  We are the technicians as well.  ;-)
I did find out that Event ID 19 as well as some others are in fact being generated.  However they aren't found under the Applications and Services WindowsUpdateClient folder in Event Viewer.  Instead they are being generated under the Windows System
Log.  But Events 26 and 40 are only found under the Applications and Services log.  
But now knowing that I thought about it and realized what you just mentioned.  Using SCOM in this manner will create way more alerts than we're wanting.  We already looked into SCCM and will probably be using baselines for checking the compliance
of our machines updates.  We were just hoping to be able to gather this information along with other info that SCOM is gathering for us so that it is all in one place and can be collected in a single report.  It sounds like that's not going to be
possible though.

  • HT1444 Is there a way to undo an update and go back to prior version?

    Is there a way to undo an update and go back to a previous version? I installed the latest version of 10.7.4 (?) on my iPhone (4s) but I hate it. I was warned by another user not to update. She said I would regret it. I should've listened.
    1)The Icons are lighter in color with tiny print on them - resembling a bunch of light colored boxes without meaning.
    2) I used to be able to double-click the home button, press-and-hold a running icon at the bottom and deselect all that were running to prolong my battery life, but I can't figure out how to do that now.
    I am reluctant to update my iPad now. I think I will readjust my settings to make the updates "hidden".

    Unfortunately there isn't a downgrade path. However, to improve legibility go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn 'Larger Type' on and make adjustments there. Also you can turn the 'Bold Text' option on.
    To close down apps, double-tap the Home button as before and any open apps will appear as a reduced sized window of the app. Stroke that window 'up' and the app will close down.

  • MDS switch: DCNM: Is there a way to monitor the traffic on every port within a port channel using DCNM?

    I am trying to monitor the load on an 8 port ISL between 2 MDS FC switches, on DCNM. 
    Since it is a plain trunk link, I am able to monitor the stats of every ISL port individually. 
    My question is, since port channel shows up as a single interface on DCNM, is there  a way to monitor the per port utilization in that port channel?

    Thanks for the update! If anyone else has the same question, the answer is that in order to extract the bus log information in the TDMS file, you should use the DIAdem Bus Log Converter tool. It is expected (though confusing) that the file looks mostly empty in the Data Portal until you use this tool to extract the information.
    Also, this is a fantastic tutorial from a very bright engineer on how to correlate data from multiple sources, such as raw frame files, in DIAdem. Highly recommended reading. It also has some data on the bus log converter.

  • I really want to update my iMovie, but I guess I need to update a lot of things first, which costs a lot of money. Is there any way I can just update iMovie and nothing else?

    - If you have a 1G ipod you can't update past 3.1.3.  To identify yourd see:
    Identifying iPod models
    - Be aware that if you can/do update the iOS to the latest (4.2.1 for a 2G and 4.3.4 for a 3G) you may not be able to sync to the old computer since that computer will need the latest iTunes to see/sync with the update iPod.  Yo need an Max with at least OSX 10.5.8.
    You can transfer iTunes purchases from the iPod to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    You can use on of the third-party programs dicussed here to transfer other stuff:
    new PC: Apple Support Communities
    Unless you can move/copy the iPod backup file to the new computer you will loose all app data and restore from that backup. That file is located:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

  • Is there a way to monitor Time Machine's current backup task?

    I started a second Time Machine backup to a NAS yesterday (in addition to my local TM Backup, which will now be taken offsite). It took a good 24hrs to finish, which was expected over WiFi. Since the initial backup, all the hourly backups have seemed normal...20-80 MB or so. Then all of a sudden this morning, I noticed the backup was taking longer than usual. I think it was indicating something around "1.09 GB of 1.09 GB", which seemed like a lot. I checked again, and the latter number had increased...something like "2.10 GB of 2.10 GB". I'm not running a VM, and there are no other obvious reasons the backup would be so big. I figured I'd let it go. I checked back again 30mins later and it was up to 69.1 GB of 69.1 GB.
    So what's going on here? TM typically knows exactly how much it needs to backup before it starts copying files. Why would the latter number continue to go up, particularly when there's no obvious reason for the extra data to backup?
    I tried opening the .inprogress pkg, but the folder size calcs weren't nearly fast enough for me to see where the backup was going. I tried the fseventer app, but it didn't seem very clear where files were being copied from; I could see where they were being placed, but since the backup is encrypted, backupd was writing to slices in the sparseimage, rather than an obvious hiearchy.
    Is there a way to monitor the files that TM is currently backing up...say in real time? Is there a debug logging mode for the backupd? Or is there a log of the files that were copied in the last backup? I'd prefer to see this in real time, so that last option would be least useful.
    I've poked through the great resources over at pondini.org, but nothing seems to really cover a backup that's in progress.
    Thanks in advance for any tips or ideas.
    p.s. I finally ended up stopping the really long backup; rebooted; restarted the backup manually, and this time it was a much more managable 500 MB. Additionally, I could see that during the final "cleaing up" stage, it removed the huge .inprogress file.

    Choose Connect to Server from the Finder's Go menu, provide the first computer's IP address, log in, and set it up in the Time Machine pane of System Preferences.

  • HT4972 I replaced the computer I originally used to synch my iPhone. I get the message stating that my content will be erased, even though this is the computer I now synch with. Is there a way to make the update recognize the new computer?

    I replaced the computer I originally used to synch my iPhone. When trying to update to iOS5.0, I get the message stating that my content will be erased, even though this is the computer I now synch my phone with. Is there a way to make the update recognize the new computer so that my content will be kept?

    The best option is to copy your entire iTunes folder from your old computer to your new one using one of the methods described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527.  This will allow iTunes on your new computer to recognize and sync with your phone without deleting content.  You will also need to copy over any other synced data not in your iTunes library such as photos synced to your phone, calendars and contacts.
    If you can't do this, these articles will help you start syncing with your new computer with minimal or no data loss:
    Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive

  • Is there any way to make windows "sticky" in mission control?

    If I have several applications open, then invoke mission control, then click on a window to select it, the windows are in a different position the next time I invoke mission control.  This is like trying to hit a moving target, or as I sometimes refer to it,  "musical windows".  I've tried checking and uncheckng the mission control options in system preferences, but the windows still move all over.  Is there any way to make windows "sticky"?  What I would prefer ideally is that each group of windows remains in the same location, then new ones are added after.  I find it frustrating to have to scan mission control and locate the window I want, which is always being moved.
    -Thanks

  • Is there a way to leave Windows 7 OS and install Windows 8 additionaly

    Is there a way to leave Windows 7 OS and install Windows 8 additionaly with Bootcamp 5, means to have a triple boot option or dual boot option where the windows partition can choose to start windows 7 or windows 8 ?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    The problem you have is that Boot Camp doesn't allow you to create more than two volumes on the hard drive: one for OS X and another one for Windows, so you can't create another one for another Windows. If you want to test Windows 8, I recommend you to download a virtual machine application like VirtualBox, create a virtual machine and install Windows 8 there

    Also I am being told that the icloud back up can consume allot of data (in the GB)

    About the only thing you could try is looking at the internet history on the phone itself. But there is not a site on VZW that will show WHAT the data was used for,

    Try getdefender.com. I think it will work if your child is using your home wifi, but not if they are using 4g/3G. The child will know you are using it.  You can try http://kids.getnetwise.org/tools/ for other tools.

  • Is there a way to prevent Software updates to automatically upgrade my printer drivers?

    Hi everybody!
    Is it possible to prevent Mountain Lion to automatically upgrade my printer drivers?
    I'm using an iMac with Mountain Lion at work, and for my printer to work, I need to keep an older version of xerox drivers (newer versions are not supporting some features we're using at a corporate level). Is there a way to tell software updates to stop asking me to update those drivers? I would love to use the "update all" feature without having to continuously reinstall old drivers...
    Thank you so much for your help!
    Sincerely
    Neff

    Thank you Barney-15E, I tried to right-click and hide this update and for the moment everything appears to work just fine. I'll let you know if the update request pops-up again at the next software update.
