Microsoft client patching, deployment deadline

Hi All,
Goal: patch clients (Windows, office) and after the installation a controlled reboot.
What I did: made a collection, software update group, deployment package and a deployment. In the deployment i configured a deadline.
Everything seams to be alright, but when I look into the log files I noticed that the installation process starts just before the deadline and the clients reboots close to the deadline. Is this the normal behavior?
Grtz Andrew

Hi Jason,
thanks for your anwser.
what do you mean with "Automatic update installation (like all deployments) will not start until
*after* the deadline"
Is it possible you explain this a little to me?

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.

Dot net Applilcations are not running after Microsoft Security patches in Sep and Nov 2014

My team did the microsoft security patches of Aug2014 and November2014 on 10 client machines (10 macines 2005) without a hitch. The Client machine (Windows 2005) accepted the patch, but all machines one of the applicaiton(VB6.0 and VB.net2005) is not able to
connect to the server.The event log was filled with SChannel errors indicating code 80 (internal_error), implying something that was deeply wrong with SChannel:
The following fatal alert was generated: 80. The internal error state is 1250.
and

Has anyone else experienced this issue with this or another update, or have some tips as to how I might better diagnose the issue? Thank you.

Hi,
I have seen a few threads with the same error, please try to uninstall KB2992611 to see if the issue persists.

9.2.0.6 client patch on XP - services conflict

Just downloaded the 9.2.0.6 .zip from MetaLink and tried to run the setup.exe to patch a client machine. The installer (10.1.0.3.0) reports this error:
Certain files which need to be reinstalled by Oracle Universal Installer are being used by one or more running services.
It then lists 30 services! I had no problems with any previous 9i client patches.
I have seen a few suggested workarounds (renaming directories, renaming .dlls in /bin, etc.), but none has worked.
Any suggestions to get this patch applied?

Set all relevant services to "Manual" startup. Then
reboot and try installing the patch. This generally
works for me. Don't forget to set all services to
"Automatic" startup when you are done.
Hope this helps.

9.2.0.8 Client patch

Hi,
I'm looking for 9.2.0.8 Client patch for Windows 7.
I do not see it here :
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/index.html
Where can I find it ?
Thank you.

I do not see it here :1) Patches and patchsets are available on MOS/metalink only
2) There will be never patchset 9.2.0.8 for Windows 7, because the first supported version is 10.2.0.5

Calendar object with Microsoft DST patch

We have been testing changes to the 2007 daylight saving time. We applied Microsoft DST patch to Windows 2000 with Java 1.3.1_18 and Windows 2003 with Java 5.0 Update 8. On both systems the calendar object return time zone of GMT although the system clock is set for Eastern.
If the Microsoft patch is removed, the correct time zone is again returned. Has anyone else seen this behavior when Windows OS patch is applied?

> Does anyone know exactly what the problem is (what has Microsoft changed) ?
a) Go to <http://www.ciac.org/ciac/bulletins/p-006.shtml> and search for the "CAN-" links. Each component has a one paragraph description.
b) According to <http://patch-info.de/IE/2004/10/12/20-35-16.html> it contains:
mshtml.dll (6,0,2800,1476 - 29,09,2004)
urlmon.dll (6,0,2800,1474 - 23,09,2004)
shdocvw.dll (6,0,2800,1584 - 27,08,2004)

shlwapi.dll (6,0,2800,1584 - 20,08,2004)
c) Some of the things that could be breaking are DOM references and DHTML, which are advanced features that not every application uses.
From <http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS04-038.mspx>:
"Caveats: Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 834707 <http://support.microsoft.com/?id=834707> documents the currently known issues that customers may experience when they install this security update. The article also documents recommended solutions for these issues."
Among other issues, that page says [emphasis added]:
- After you install the MS04-038 security updates for Internet Explorer, some dynamic HTML (DHTML) drag-and-drop operations are blocked by Internet Explorer.
- Security update 834707 includes a change to the way that Internet Explorer handles function pointers. This change in functionality occurs when an event handler points directly to a Document Object Model (DOM) function [...] Change in Internet Explorer function pointer behavior causes code to not be executed when an event handler is set to directly reference a DOM function after installing MS04-038 security updates.
BTW, Note 785308 has been updated with a workaround.

Help-Is 9ias a necessity even for client server deployment of forms6i

Hi
Is 9Ias a necessity even for client server deployment of forms6i using developerSuite. I have been told that Oracle no longer markets Forms Server?
Ganesh.

No for client server deployment you don't need iAS.
On the second issue Forms server (the bit of forms used to web deploy) is no longer sold stand-alone - it is part of the iAS suite.

Invoke BPEL 10g process by Java client code deployed in WebLogic 10.3.3

Hi,
I have a problem with the use of JNDI factory While invoking BPEL 10g process using client code deployed in WebLogic 10.3.3.
Should it be "com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIInitialContextFactory" or "weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory"?
(Should the JNDI factory follows the container of BPEL server or the container of client code?)

Using message-style web service by a Microsoft client

Does anyone have a sample Microsoft client using message-style web service? BEA
does not provide one. I found MS client does not receive messages published between
2 calls to method "receive", while the sample Java client ConsumerClient.java
does.
ConsumerClient.java is like:
while(true){
Object result = method.invoke(null);
sleep(20000); // not in sample, added for my test
System.out.println(result);
My VBScript code is like:
Set SC = CreateObject("MSSOAP.SoapClient")
SC.mssoapinit "http://localhost:7001/msg/Receiver/Receiver.wsdl", "", "", ""
While TRUE
Res = SC.receive
WScript.echo "Res = " & Res
Res = ""
' do something that takes 20 seconds
Wend
I added 20 seconds between calls so I can publish a message between 2 calls. I
found the Java client receives the message but the VBScript client doesn't. Has
anyone else observed this?

Hum! i thought you were not able to receive message at all. now
i understood the problem. yes we are using http header to pass

to subscribe to JMS topics. I cant think of any other way to do
this. if you have any suggestions, i very much like to hear it.
for your application is it possible to use queues instead of topics?
we do not use http session information in the case of JMS queues.

Hi Manoj,
Your sample code is basically same as mine. It would also lose messagespublished
between calls to "receive" method.
I figured out what's going on. Undocumented by BEA, the web servicesends JMS
session ID in HTTP header along with first message. When client makessubsequent
calls to "receive", this ID must be sent back. I found this by usinga SOAP trace
tool.
Unfortunately, MS SOAP toolkit doesn't support access to HTTP header.So one has
to use MS XML toolkit to use message-style web service, when writingMS clients.

I think the problem is because the WSDL for the message style
web service use xsd:anyType as the return type and MS soap is
not able to understand it. can you pls modify the xsd:anyType to
xsd:string (or someother base type) in the WSDL.
SC.mssoapinit can load wsdl stored as a local file. so it should
be easy to make this change.

Patch deployment and enabled modules

Hello
I have a 12.1.3 environment with no modules enabled as part of the base installation.
So what I mean is when I installed 12.1.1 , I did not enable any module components.
My aim is to enable them later based on our current licensing.
Now my question is that if I apply module specific patches on top of this environment, does it apply it correctly or will it ignore applying changes since the underlying module has not been enabled yet.
The patch deployment does go thru successfully.
At this stage I am wondering if I should apply the patches first or enable the necessary modules first.
Let me know.

Zenworks patch deployment without Client

OK, so I want to use Zenworks to deploy Windows patches to networked
scanners
with PC's attached to them. These PC's are not equipped with the company
standard images, therefore do not have Novell Client. I'd like to deploy
patches to these PC's without having to install Novell Client, due to a
management decided security issue. I am stuck as to where to begin. I was
told
to research the possibility of using an FTP connection in place of Novell
Client and Application Launcher. Preferably I'd like to still use Zen4
Applications to push out patches like I do for the user's workstations,
but
any and all suggestions are welcome.
Thanks!

jma,
> Applications to push out patches like I do for the user's workstations,
> but
Just to add to what Timothy said.
You could push the Novell client via a AD login script or batch file. You
can distribute the ZFD Agent this way also.
You do not need the Novell client to use Desktop management to deploy
software and such. This is were the middle tier server will come into
play. With just the zfdagent and the MiddleTier server, you can manage a
pure MS environment easily.
You will probably want to look at patch management to really manage
patches in a proper way. This again does not require the Novell client,
but simply a patch agent.

Query on Patch Deployment Process in SCCM 2012 R2

Hi All,
I have a Below SCCM environment in place, I have a very basic question on how Patches are downloaded by Client machines,
Environment Details:
one SCCM Server in Hongkong DC one DP server in Singapore Datacentre There are 14 Clients in Singapore DC as below,
02 Hyper-V Server Each Hyper-V server has 06 VM's In one of the 06 VM in Hyper-V 02 we installed the DP role. Patch Size : 500MB (We have created as a single software update Group)
Collection: We have created 02 Collections, each one for One Hyper-V and all it’s 06 VM’s
Question: When we are Deploying patches to each collection, how clients will download
the patches from DP ?
01.
Will all the clients start downloading the patches immediately or one by one?
02.
Out of these 500 MB of patches, hope only 100MB of patches will be applicable host client, In this case, the client will download only the required patches or all (I have choosen required
during deployment)
03.
If the answer for 01 Question is all will download at the same time means, by any chance can we control the behaviour (One by one without changing the collection)
Sundar

They download them using BITS from the nearest DP based upon the boundaries within content location boundary groups that you have set up.
1. For updates within a required deployment that are applicable to a particular system, they will begin downloading them at the "available" time.
2. Correct. The clients perform a compliance scan before they download any updates and only download those updates that are assigned to them using a required deployment that the compliance scan reveals that they need.
3. No. There is no control of order; however, clients will use BITS. You can however enable the deadline randomization feature using a client settings package. This will cause each client to randomly delay for up to 2 hours thus spreading out any workloads.
Alternatively, if you need to micro-manage the order that updates are installed, you can setup of a separate series of collections that have maintenance windows set on them and populate the collection appropriately. These maintenance windows will apply to
the systems within these collection for all activity on those systems regardless of the collection that was used to assign the deployment.

SCCM Patch Deployment Severity and Update Classifications

SCCM 2012 SP1
I'm a little confused by MSFT terminology
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/824684/en-us versus terminology used in setting up an automatic deployment. Let's use Lync 2010 as an example. I wish to deploy Lync 2010 updates outside of our regular patching via SCCM as I don't have Update
Classification None set so I don't capture a whole bunch on non-essential patches.
When I look at current Lync client update:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2815347 I don't see the classification MSFT used on their terminology page so not 100% know how to target it. It indicates its an UPDATE package but I don't see a SEVERITY level assigned. So if I use the
following search criteria would this work?
Date released: Last 3 months
Product: Microsoft Lync 2010
Severity: None
