Only approving "specific" updates each month for collection

Still trying to figure out how to switch over. One thing I cant figure out as it compares to previous standalone wsus is we typically get a list of approved updates that can be installed to a particular subset of vendor machines. We are ONLY supposed to
install the updates they email us each month. Previsouly I had all these in a group in wsus. Approval was easy. Do a search on each kb in the email and apprive to said group.
So in sccm 2012 I created a collection of these same computers based on AD OU. Got that part.
The only thing I can see to do though for the specific KBs is go to All software updates, search for each KB one at a time and deploy to created vendor collection. Each month could contain numerous KBs approved by the vendor to be installed. The only
way I can see to do this all at once would be to set criteria to Title and somehow specify all the KBs on the search box but I cant seem to get that to work unless there is some special separator to use. That way it only makes one deployment package otherwise
separately I would need to do the deployment package wizard for every single KB
Does anyone do this in their env? Approve very specific updates for a collection and is there a simpler way??
thx

Thanks Peter. That makes sense. So I spent some time on this today. Right now my old wsus server has about 200gb of updates downloaded and I would like to not download stuff that is already installed. I created a bunch of Software update groups based on
years and then for the the current year I split it out by month then created collection groups (Servers, Test, Workstations, VDI)
That all looks good. So to test I deployed the current month and for the package source I entered the location to the wsus download location
\\servername\WsusContent\. Guessing that is correct.
So now I have all the update groups and the client installed on close to a 1000 machines. What I dont get is for any year or month I created, whether deployed or not the installed column says 0 and there are a few that show a 1 for required.
I figure the client needs to be installed but do I have to download and deploy all update groups and updates back to 2003 in order to see which clients have a particular update already installed? I was thinking I could just go through each
sug and find the updates that show Required and deploy only those to whatever collections.
Also it looks like I would need to create multiple deployment packages for each sug, one for the above collections I craeted?
thanks

    Hello, I have Acrobat XI Pro for which I pay by monthly subscription. Each month, for the past three months or so, at renewal time, I receive a note stating that my trial period has expired and I cannot open my Acrobat Files. I have telephoned three or four times each time this happens and have been told that the matter has been resolved - it has not! At one time I had paid inadvertently for three account for Acrobat XI Pro running at the same time - I only need 1. I'm afraid that I may have just opened a second account by mistake in order to open my files. I repeat, I only require one account. Would you please advise and assure me that this matter has finally been resolved and that I will no longer receive these notifications each month..

    I don't work for Adobe but it seems to me you might be signing in to Acrobat with the wrong Adobe ID.

  • The calendar sync is recently not working correctly, not display "All events" but it only displays the last six months for my individual entries. My repeating entires do go back further, though. How do I fix?

    I have an iPad 5.1.1. The calendar sync has started to not work correctly. I have it checked "All events," but it only displays the last two months for my individual entries. My repeating entires do go back further, though. How do I fix?

    HI Jason269. Thanks for your reply, however I wrote that I already have "All events" checked. If All Events is checked and it doesn't diaplay all events, how do I fix? It seems this is a common issue, as I have read many others on here state the same problem.
    I believe my problem occurred when I synced my iMac calendar to my iPad calendar using yahoo. Yesterday, I unsynced them on my iMac controls. When I checked my iPad calendar, all of my old entries reappeared - but only for five seconds and disappeared again. So, the data is saved and still there but cannot be displayed, even when I have All events checked. In fact, it only shows my individual entries for the last two months, but does show all my recurring entries. If I switched to last six months, I will see everything for the last six months. If I switch back to all events, it is only for the last two months.
    As I mentioned, others on here have expressed exactly the same issue, including the two month example and having used yahoo.
    For legal purposes, I need to be able to use the information from my indidual calendar entries in an upcoming court case. So I really need to fix this ASAP!

  • Paying double each month for Internet Security Suite?

    I noticed that we are paying twice each month for Internet Security Suite: once as a billed item ($6.99); and again as part of the Backup and Security Bundle ($11.00). It seems this has been going on since about Aug 2013.
    Hence, I dropped the standalone Security Suite. Now, I'd like a a refund for all those overcharges and an explanation as to how (and why) that occurred.
    Thanks in advance.
    Solved!

  • Check if a license exists for at least one day in each month

    How to check if a license exists for at least one day in each month for a given period ? Example : If we have a review period from Jan 25 2009 to Aug 15 2009. How to check if there is license for at lease one day in every month.

    Hi,
    Welcome to the forum!
    (1) construct a table or result set that has one row per month in the review period. [This thread|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=3651350?] has a similar problem.
    (2) outer-join your actual data to that result set
    (3) use the aggreagate COUNT (x) function (where x is some column from your table) to see if there were any matches in each month. GROUP BY months.
    For a more specific answser, ask a more specific question.
    Post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements), and the results you want from that data.
    It never hurts to say what version of Oracle you're using.

  • Last day of each month in a year based on a Input date?

    Hi all,
    I have a request from a customer who wants to have a yearly report created in BEx Query Designer which starts in January up to December and they want to have a Month To Date (MDT) and Year to Date (YTD) calculation of a key figure. This report will only show one year at the time based on the date the user give as input at the Variable Screen.
    This key figure should be calculated by using the last date of each month for input when performing the MTD and YTD calculation and summarizations.
    Example:
    January: 31.01.2008  Key Figure = 1000. MTD = 1000 and YTD = 1000
    February: 29.02.2008  Key Figure = 2500. MTD = (2500-1000) 1500 and YTD = 2500
    March: 31.03.2008  Key Figure = 6000. MTD =(6000-2500)=3500 and YTD = 6000
    Etcu2026.
    This means that I have to have a lot of hidden Key figures which gets restricted on the different month end dates and formulas to calculate the different MTD and YTD results for the months as the year progresses.
    The way I have solved it now is that I have a Customer Exit which gives me the Last day of last year (Exp: 31.12.2007) based on input date and use a Offset on the last day of last year date to get the different last dates of each month.
    Since we have a leap year (one extra day in February) this year, the offset to calculate the end month dates will be different for 2007 and next year (2009). This solution is not very flexible, and it will not give the correct MTD and YTD if the customer wants to go back to 2007 and off course next year (2009).
    One solution is to create 12 Customer Exits that gives me the different month end dates (January-December), and also takes in account leap year for February for the different years. These Exits will be based on the Input date the Customers put in at the variable screen.
    I would rather want to avoid making 12 new customer exits and want your advice and expertise to find out if this is possible in any other way (maybe with only 1 customer exit) to get the last date of each month based on an input date.
    Thanks for all your advices on beforehand.
    Regards

    Hi,
    Thanks for you replay and documentation, but it doesn't give me excatly the functionality I'm after. The only MTD calculation code the document provides is the calculation of the following functionality:
    "Month to Date (MTD) u2013 From the 1st of month to u201CKey Dateu201D - for current year." This doesn't give the the functionality I want, which is to retrieve a given vaule for a Key Figure for the last dates of the months in a year to calculate MTD and YTD.
    This way I have created the query is to have multiple hidden Key Figures that calculates the MTD and YTD.
    In Columns in Query Designer it will look something like this:
    Selection: MTD January--> Date = 31.01.2008, Key Figure (Always Show)
    Selection: YTD January --> Date= 31.01.2008, Key Figure (Always Show)
    Selection: MTD February --> Date= 29.02.2008, Key Figure (Always Hide)
    Formula: MTD February --> MTD February - MTD January (Always Show)
    Selection YTD February --> Date = 29.02.2008, Key Figure (Always Show)
    And so on....
    This is off course a simplified version, but it shows the core of the solution. What I want to achive here is that the dates used to get the Key Figures (last date of a month) is calculated as flexible as possible, so that the users can go back and forth in time without worrying about the leap year problem and so on. I have now used an offset from the last date of last year and this is good for all the normal years, but when it is a leap year the query will use wrong dates to get the key figure vaule for the last date of each month.
    Any ideas on how to achieve this without creating 12 different Customer Exit variables (one for each end date of each month)?
    Thanks
    Regards

  • IOS 6.1.4 released for iPhone 5 Adds an Updated Audio Profile for Speakerphone

    Apple has just released an Over the Air update for the iPhone 5.  It seems to only provide an updated audio profile for the speaker phone.  Nothing else listed in the change log.
    I would assume  that there will be an iTunes downloadable  update available shortly.

    It obviously is because you didnt understand. The iphone 4's last update to IOS 6.1.3 in some cases caused the phones speakers to not work (in which this happened to mine and a few people I know) which some people got rid of their phones. HENCE the AUDIO UPDATE that they recently posted but only iPhone 5 can download the update. That is my problem. I have alot of apple products diesel vdub and have had apple for a long time but I can't seem to understand why they would do this and I posted this in hopes to find more people that have had this issue and if they did anything to help fix it this issue. Thank you for your concern though.

  • Have updated to iOS 7.1 and now find Calendar is out of sync to months ie April only changes to May at 19 th of May same for each month

    Have updated iPad to new iOS 7.1 and now find that the calendar is out of sync with the months for example today is the 8th April when in month view I move to look at or enter in May it says at April heading until I pass the 19th of May , the same applies now to all months , when I look back at Feb it's is only showing all month as January , can any one help or know the answer to this it's only happened this last week I am away in USA and updated about a week ago.

    That is still showing April until the 19th passes and then it is May.
    Select a date in that week (the 20-26) hold finger to add new appt, Notice the day that appears.
    It changes because now may is past the center area.

  • How can I get the material consumption of the month for each specific Finished Good?

    (Sorry, I first opened this discussion in another space. I guess here's where it belongs).
    Dear Experts,
    This is the first time I open a discussion. I'm new at this. I've been reading for a couple of months your forums and certainly you've helped me a lot. Thanks for that. Keep it up! ^_^
    Now on business. Let me explain a bit about what I'm looking for.
    I've been looking for a report that shows me the material consumption of the month in quantities. Raw Material and Packaging Material to be more specific. Also I need to see the consumption of those materials by each specific Finished Good.
    For example, I know the consumption of Flour of all the month, but we use it for all our Finished Goods or SKU's as we call them, since we make cookies. How can I know how much Flour each Finished Good actually used?
    I've been trying with different T-Codes, reports, etc. The last thing I've got is using transaction MB51 and filtering movements type from 261 to 262. The beauty of this report is that shows me the Process Order number, since I can match the PO number to a Finished Good with another report from BI (or BEX, however you call it).
    Everything was fine until I found that there are some PO's that are not directly related to a Finished Good, but to a Semi Finished Good. In some cases I'm able to match the Finished Good, since the majority of Semi Finished Goods are uniques to a Finished Good. But there are three specific cases that are my problem right now:
    Cream X: We use it for three Finished Goods.
    X Syrup: We use it for all the Finished Goods.
    Refined X Sugar: We use it for three Finished Goods.
    So those three are Semi Finished Goods which are related to certain numbers of PO's I have on the report.
    In the end, with the report from MB51 I have all the list of materials (filtering only Raw and Packaging), I have the consumption of the month (filtering movements 261 and 262) and I have the PO number related to each material. Of course one material is listed many times on the report, but with different PO number.
    Then, like I said, I can match the PO number to a Finished Good, except in the cases where the PO is not matched to a Finished Good, but to a Semi Finished Good like the three examples I gave you.
    I don't know if there's another way to track the Finished Good having the PO number. I've tried T-Code COR3, but couldn't get too far.
    I hope I explained myself a bit clear and also sorry if my English is not so good.
    Thanks in advance. ^_^
    Warm regards,
    Rol

    Hi Rolando,
    If the purpose is to find the consumption of a material, you can get it from report "MC.9". Plz let me know if it's useful.

  • Creating a Report to track what was invoiced for each month then quarter

    I was wondering if anyone knew how to create a report adding up each month then adding it up by quarter.   This is what i am working with:
    Job:  Invoice Date 1,2 ,3 and Invoice Amount 1, 2, 3
    Job 2:  Invoice Date 1, 2 and invoice amounte 1, 2
    one job might have a invoice date with May as #1 and then # 2 is June when the next job could have 2 invoice dates in 1month. 
    the way i have the report set up currently it will take the final date and file it under that month then it will calculate all the amounts for the one month..;
    does anyone have any ideas how to seperate the amounts?  and maybe add the job to more then 1 month if needed based off the invoice date?

    I have tried to do that but the only problem is i have more then 1 invoice for some orders because we have shipped partial orders. 
    I have my search set up on invoice date 1, 2, and 3 but if a order has 2 deliverys invoice 1 is in the previous month it still calls it up because i have to include the field for the other orders and don't know how to tell it not to add that value into the specific month i want..
    I don't know if i am making any since?
    Thank you
