Machines reboot after update even when SCCM is configured with 'suppress reboot'

Hello,
I need some advice about distributing updates.
My problem : yesterday afternoon I had to deploy an update and eliminate any reboot that could occur.
Everything was ok, the update was deployed with no reboot.
But, this night, some of the machines started to reboot at 03h00 !!
In the eventlog I can see this :
The process C:\Windows\system32\svchost.exe (xxxxxx) has initiated the restart of computer xxxxxxx on behalf of user NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM for the following reason: Operating System: Recovery (Planned)
Reason Code: 0x80020002
Shutdown Type: restart
Comment:
If I look in the windowsupdate.log I can see that it is the AU client who has done the reboot.
How can I avoid that ?
I thought SCCM would manage every settings for the update distribution/reboot.
I have found a post who says that you have to configure the settings 'No auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installations' in a GPO.
But what can I do when there is no one logged on the machine ? how can I avoid the reboot ?
I know my request is strange to install an update and make no reboot but I was asked so by my management.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Marc

Hi,
It sounds like it is the Windows Update Agent that has rebooted the computer, have you set the group policy for Windows Update "Configure Automatic Updates" to disabled? otherwise it is knwon to restart the client..

HT1414 My generation 1 iPad won't update even when I try manually with iTunes. What am I doing wrong?

So I have tried updating in settings and iTunes and nothing any suggestions?

If you have the 1st gen iPad you cannot update via the settings unless you have iOS 5 on it and that is as high as you can go anyway - actually 5.1.1 is the limit.

Credit exposure updating even when the sales order is blocked

Hi,
We are using FSCM credit management. We observed that the credit exposure is updated even when the sales order is blocked. When we investigated it is found out that SD has removed the requirement 101 in the subsequent functions. The reason is they want the confirmed quantity to be updated even though the order is blocked. This will allow the Material Planning to go ahead and purchase the goods. Is there a way around it where we can have MM see the confirmed quantity in the order and it will not updated the credit exposure?
Thanks and Regards

Hi Sravan,
Please let us know, whether the document is really getting reflected in the blocked documents list for a particular kind of block and you are releasing that particular block in the specified area as we have different areas for releasing blocks. Chances are that in the mean time, the concerned block might have been removed in the system and not updated as it might have been. It will be of great help, if you can provide us with the screenshots of the process followed.

Creative cloud keeps me logged in to my old account even when I log in with my new account.

Creative cloud keeps me logged in to my old account even when I log in with my new account. When I log out of the new account, it has kept me logged in to the older account. Because of this, I can't access the programs. I am trying to access the free trials on the new account before purchasing the subscription on the new account, but it keeps me registered as the older account, even though I requested for the older account to be cancelled. I have also tried multiple times to uninstall both the programs and creative cloud desktop but the same thing keeps happening. Can someone please help me?

I updated to ios 5.1, after updating, now my screen is stuck with the apple logo and status bar and isn't doing anything....HELP

The typical fix if the progress bar totally freezes - meaning no movement at all for more than 20 minutes - and iTunes will no recognize the device - is to try to put the iPad into recovery mode. That is explained here.
iPad: Unable to update or restore
However, don't jump the gun. Keep an eye on the progress bar and if it is moving at all - even very slowly - let it go for a while. I'm updating my iPod touch first and the progress bar is moving but very slowly.

There is no facetime icon and never was. Facetime is built into the phone. Go to settings>general>restrictions and make sure facetime is ON. Go to settings>facetime and turn it on there and set it up there. Also read http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4268

Files are updated even when not touched in months

date modified is updated for all folders--
The files in some folders (documents) are updated as if they had all been truly worked over in some substantial way, even when they have not been touched in months. This happened to my laptop and now has spread to my desktop at work. Help. At times, it has taken processing power away from the machine to do the updating.
eMac Mac OS X (10.3.9) laptop was ibook running jaguar

mine has started to do the same thing. I have reset the nano 3 times. When I turn it off the "charged battery" icon stays on though the light is off. I plugged it in to the computer and had to reset for the computer to find. After leaving it plugged in for a few hours I unplugged and tried again. Still says "charged" all the time.
I could try a hard reset...., but has any one else experienced this?

HT5815 my macbook pro 15 inch 2.2 does not start up anymore after update, even after shift V.

after installing the update the machine rebooted. But only the apple logo en circle appeared. and then....stuck.
a hard shut down and reboot with Shift hold down until the bar did get it in safe mode (or was it the command V) but it freezes there....

Another post did add some light to it too.
Finally my mac started up. Backing up now. :-) tnx

Re: PROBLEMS WITH 10.8.5

You might try this:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Then download and install: OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.5 (Combo).

I am asked to turn off Safari(v7) for the Flash Update even when Safari is not on.

I have tried many times to install the Flash update on my MAC (OS X 10.9). It asks me to close Safari to finish, even when Safari is not on. I even restarted the computer, never opened Safari and it still asked me to close Safari.

If you use MenuTab (Facebook plugin), it will give a false "open" for Safari. It sets as a Login item by default when installed so rebooting won't help.
Applications/Utiltites>Activity Monitor.
Terminate MenuTab, and proceed with the nstallation.

Answer machine problem after update z2

Hi, after update to 5.0.2 the answer machine on my z2 will not switch off if I answer a call. This is frustrating as now when I am 20 seconds into a call the answer machine cuts in, unlike before. Is this just the new way this works with this version, or is it a phone issue?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try performing a system repair using PC Companion as this will often fix issues - This will factory reset your phone and erase all data so best to backup before you begin
Switch off your phone and unplug from Pc (Hold volume up and power for around 10 seconds)
Start PC Companion and select Support zone then Update my phone/tablet then in Blue Repair my phone/tablet and follow the on screen instructions - When prompted connect your phone still switched off holding volume down or back button - This should start the repair or reformat process
If you are using Windows 8/8.1 or a 64bit operating system then adjust the settings for PC Companion and run in compatibility mode and chose Windows 7 or XP

Display screen is turned off after timeout even when blanking disabled

After a recent update which among other things upgraded gnome to 3.10 my display blanking policy no longer behaves according to a configuration.
Currently it is being turned off (monitor says "no DVI signal" and switches off) after each 10 mins if idle time.
In Gnome's Power Settings I have 'Blank Screen' set to Never.
It used to work perfectly earlier, no blanking, but now it blanks not only when I'm idle, but even when watching some movie in VLC.
I am not sure if this has to do with Gnome update or some other system component is causing this.
Using nvidia driver.
Any hint or link to the topic with the workaround would be greatly appreciated.
I tried google and local forum search and found nothing on the topic

I just noticed myself this annoying issue and I do not use Gnome nor GDM.
The thing is after checking the xset settings with
xset q
I noticed that the DPMS settings for Standby, Suspend and Off were back to their default values (60/60/600) instead of the 0/0/0 as I am using
xset s off &
in my openbox autostart file to avoid the screen blanking.
The way I fixed it was to simply run
xset -dpms
being the DPMS featured as disabled when queried.
Afterwards I checked that the screen did not blank again and 1) logged out and 2) restarted checking both times that the DPMS were the ones expected (0/0/0).
Thus, so far, I have no issues with the screen blanking in a non Gnome environment (Openbox) anymore.

Updated my iMac to mountain lion, had iCloud problems so I turned off iCloud. Then my software updates stopped coming through. Turned iCloud back on but still not getting updates even when checking manually. Help Greg0954

I updated my imac to osx mountain lion. Had trouble with icloud affecting my itunes so I turned off iclouds.
Then my automatic software updates stopped coming through. Even when I check for them manually by
clicking on software update it acts like it's checking for about one second then says "no updates available".
It's been months since I've got any updates, used to get them every week or two.
Could turning off icloud have affected the necessary contacts ? Please help,
Greg0954

I think all these problems are related, but might try this fo SWUPD...
If you check for software updates using the App Store in OS X 10.8 and get "NSURLErrorDomain error -1100" the problem may be with your Software Update preferences. This is particularly likely if you were using a custom Apple Software Update server. To solve the problem, quit the App Store, move the following two files (if present) to the trash, restart, and only then rerun App Store updates:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist.lockfile

Entering Time Machine - slow after update to Snow Leopard

Entering Time Machine via the icon in my top menu bar has never been fast. However, last week I moved from Leopard to Snow Leopard (since fully updated). Tonight I needed to restore a file from yesterday's backup, so I selected "Enter Time Machine." The "universe" with the timeline along the right loaded, but several minutes passed and I was still not able to use the arrows at the lower right to move backwards in time. Nor would the timeline at the right show any date markers other than "Now," "Today," and "January 2010" and "January 2009." I let it sit for several minutes with no apparent progress. Even the "cancel" button took nearly 60 seconds to function.
As an alternative, I tried running the Time Machine application from my apps folder. It was slower to bring up the "universe" but did, after a couple of minutes, get me to a window with a functional timeline.
Any idea what the problem might be? I feel like entry into my Time Capsule has gotten slower and slower, but tonight was really egregious.

It does take a while over a network; there's a lot of "setup" that seems to be required.
You might try the things in #E4 of [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).

Updates app *always* thinks I have an update, even when I don't

This is more than an annoyance than anything else but the OCD in me would love to get it resolved. I have a Verizon Palm Pre + (1.4.1.1) with a bunch of apps installed plus Preware for some patches. Sometime in the last month or so (I don't remember when exactly), the Updates app started acting a little strangely. Now, when I run it, it always tells me there are updates available and presents me with the Show Updates button. So I press the button and most of the time, there are no actual app updates available. Sometimes there are some available and that works fine to update them.
So:
how can I get my Updates app to stop telling me that updates are available when they are not?
Additional news: Preware doesn't show any updates required
Thank you!
Will

Hello and welcome to the forums;
This issue has been reported to our engineering department, however it is not affecting everyone. Since you have Preware/patches/homebrew installed, the first step I need to suggest is to remove all Preware/patches/homebrew and perform a partial erase, then try the Updates app.
As some patches persist even after a partial erase, if you still have problems with the Update app, I would also suggest reinstalling the OS using the webOS Doctor and trying the Updates app again.
If after this you still see the problem, then you may be affected by this known issue.
Hope this helps,
