Patch manager

Can someone help me run the patch manager? I have downloaded and installed the patch manager from the sun website. I have found the help files, which are not very helpful, but where do you run it from? the help file says use the browser, been there but have not been able to find out where it put the files I''m supposed look at. when I do look at some HTMl pages I do find I get the code not the web page.
Frustrating!!!
Where's a little icon or menu that says "Patch manager here Dummy!"
Thanks
Bill

Hello Thiago,
if the patching procedure is empty, then one important post installation step has to be executed. It is about "defining a software library path". This step will not only define a path, but will also populate data into it. After a while the missing patching procedures shall come up automatically.
Please inspect the installation guide for ACMP for further details and advice.

Adobe Reader and Acrobat Pro updates for 11.0.10 being pushed out through SolarWinds Patch Manager are not being recognized as applicable.

I am trying to update our Adobe Reader and Acrobat Pro to 11.0.10 using the default MSP packages with SolarWinds Patch Manager. All of the systems keep reporting as 'NOT APPLICABLE'. All of the workstations have Reader11.0.09, with about 10% still on 11.0.08 (due to the fact that the reader 11.0.09 package only patched about 2/3 of the systems). All systems that have Acrobat Pro are 11.0.09.
In SolarWinds I am using the "Adobe Systems, Inc. Packages" node.
Adobe Systems Acrobat 11 Catalog
Adobe Systems Reader 11 Catalog
and the SW Patch Manager downloads the msp's straight from Adobe.
I have checked the msp's manually and they will update at least back to 11.0.07 in Reader, and 11.0.0 in Acrobat Pro. (I had an old stand alone system that still had Reader 11.0.07, and I did a new install of Pro and went straight to update 11.0.10)
The SolarWinds Tech said, "Okay. That content is produced by Adobe. Any questions concerning applicability logic or diagnosing why a package reports as NotApplicable when that's not expected would need to be directed to Adobe, as they are solely responsible for that content and its behavior".
I am new to SolarWinds Patch Manager, and any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

It sounds like you are attempting to use the SCUP catalogs outside of the MS solution. I can almost guarantee you that Adobe didn't test it if it's not referenced in the ETK: 11 SCCM-SCUP — Enterprise Administration Guide
That being said there "should" be logging available in any deployment solution. Since I am not familiar with Solar-Winds particular solution I can't say if it logs errors and how verbose those logs might be. If you have logs then post the output and the forum members "might" be able to assist you.

Solaris 8 Patch Manager Error

Anyone have any idea what this error is or how to resolve it? I'm trying to run smpatch on a Solaris 8 Sun Blade 100 box and getting the following error:

Requested patches:

Hi,
I've just found the following in another thread:
The workaround for the bugID 6221832 (java being in another path than the default /usr/j2se/bin/ for Patch Manager 2.0 on Solaris 8) is to edit the pprosetup and pprosvc scripts
from /usr/sbin/pprosvc :
JAVACMD=/usr/j2se/bin/java
edit pprosetup and pprosvc scripts file and set JAVACMD locale variable to newly java installed path and launch smpatch get command again
Thank you. I've editted both scripts and changed the JAVACMD variable to be ${JAVA_HOME}/bin/java and now everything is working.
Thanks.

Sun update manager with patch manager

I need to use both products since I have systems running Solaris 10, 9 and 8. Is there a way to get them to work together?
Ideally, I would like to have 1 system talk to SUN to manage the application and downloads. I would want the system to distribute the patches to all the other systems.

Yes, this is possible. We would recommend setting up Sun Update Manager on Solaris 10 as your patch proxy (with a connection to Sun). Both Update Manager on Solaris 10 and Patch Manager on Solaris 8 and 9 can then be configured as clients.

What is Sun's answer about PCA patch manager free tool ?

Hi all,
this post aims on echoing customers'feedback.
from customers'experience it seems that smpatch from patch manager tool is suffering of a lack of reliability.
One of them moved to a new freeware called PCA-Patch Check Advanced
http://www.par.univie.ac.at/solaris/pca/
From PCA Web Site we can read:
Sun has offered various tools in the past to analyze Sun/Solaris systems for patches which are installed or missing, e.g. PatchDiag, PatchCheck, PatchPro, smpatch (see the Sun Patch Portal for details). Some of them are not actively maintained, some are huge and opaque, some don't run on older Solaris releases or stripped-down machines. None of them really made me happy. Based on PatchCheck source I implemented PCA, which gets rid of the disadvantages of Sun's own tools.
I would like to know what is Sun's position and could it be possible to integrate such a tool ?
Thanks.
Malek.

- Sun is always interested in customer feedback, and is interested in
the concerns expressed here.I'd also very muck like Sun to be interested in fixing the customers problems, which has not been done in my cases. No solution or explanation has been given to my many cases opened on smpatch, and this, even though in some cases, patches were made (months later): I was never told about them. Which makes me wonder about the point of having paid support contracts in the first place.
But since UM was developed by interns, it's no wonder there's trouble maintaining it (how do I know? I've been an intern doing Java development, and I made the exact same beginner's mistakes, not knowing to handle exceptions, leaving debug output on stdout, being unable to make proper localisation).
It's obviously not the work of experienced Java programmers. Hard to trust it...
- We do understand that opaque is bad, but one of Sun's goals is to
provide complex analysis beyond matching patches with installed
packages. This analysis and its support processes will necessarily
be somewhat opaque.What analysis are you talking about? smpatch is not even able to tell me that security fixes are available for NSS, which has been part of Solaris for years. PCA does.
And what about Studio? Why can't smpatch tell me there are patches for that, too? And why aren't free patches, that are neither recommended nor security (such as the man patches) shown by smpatch when running without a contract?
- We are interested in the concerns surrounding stripped-dow
systems, and are considering a "light" version of our tools that would
support minimal systems. However at this time there are no plans to
release a light version.And what about systems without a network?
And what about not forcing me to read and agreeing to a, abusive license agreement, which can't even be printed, nor shown full screen (5 lines at a time!)?
And, please, can you explain me why I should agree to respect Reuters so-called intellectual property? What does it have to do to with keeping my systems up to date reliably and easily? Is it a competition between Sun and Microsoft to put the most ludicrous licenses on line?
Anyway, I'm sure Solaris 11 will introduce some new bloated offspring of the PatchProManagerUpdateConnection family, so I'm not holding my breath. Rather than repeat this experience again and again, I'll stick with PCA.

Handling of pending reboot, exclusive updates for patch management with SCCM 2012

Hello,
Planning to use SCCM 2012, I would like to understand how smart is SCCM 2012 when dealing with specific patch management situation.
Assuming I have the following:
- A given server to be patched is missing a lot of updates, several being mutually exclusive. This typical case will require several reboot / patching to properly obtain a server fully up to date.
- A given server to be patched is in pending reboot state because the local admin installed new software and has not restarted the server yet as requested
- Those servers have configured maintenance windows of 2 hours during each night. I scheduled a deployment of missing patches authorizing restart.
--> when the maintenance window will be reached:
- will the server first be restarted to clean the pending reboot ?
- will the the server be patched / restarted several times as required to fully meet the updates to be deployed.
Another scenario on workstation side:
- can I enforce deployment of updates at a given time, do not automatically restart the workstation during patch deployment, but after deployment schedule a mandatory restart with a countdown if there is a pending reboot... From end-user perspective, it
would have the following behavior. For instance:
- patches are automatically installed on Monday at 10 AM
- as soon as deployment is done, warning message is displayed to ask users to reboot
- then user has up to 48h to restart his computer by himself. If he does not do it, it will be automatically done after countdown expires.
--> Can such a scenario be managed by SCCM 2012 ?
Regards.

Hi,
I have a related question about deploying Microsoft Security Updates to workstations via SCCM 2012. Is there a way to deploy the MS updates to workstations and only suppress reboots for machines with users logged on or locked? There seems to
be only 2 different options for reboots, Suppress them all or don't suppress them at all. We would like SCCM to reboot the machines that are logged off, but suppress the reboot for those that are logged on, while at the same time, provide the user with
a notification that their machine needs to be rebooted (at their convenience).
We've tried applying the Domain GPO "No auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installations" (Enabled) and "Configure Automatic Updates" (Disabled), but the logged on/locked machines still receive the restart countdown with no
option to postpone or delay.
This is a show stopper for us since we have an environment where we are absolutely not allowed to reboot a logged on machine.
For a little background, we are coming from SMS 2003 and the Distribute Software Updates (ITMU) way of deploying MS Updates, where we could always set the program to run "Only when no user is logged on".
Please tell me there is a way to achieve our desired result.
Thanks,
Dan

What is the best approach for patch management

Hi,
I'm new about patch management. I would like to ask you how manage patch on few Solaris 10 servers using command line.
I would like to know:
1. Using only command line how to download latest patches
2. There are some dependencies how to check this and install only those patches which meets dependecy requirements?
3. Is there possiblity to atomate this?
4. Is it possible to have one patch server and others servers will download and install this patches?
5. What if some patches are not installed?
6. How to find out which patches are necessary and which patches don't have to be installed? Or maybe or patches to be installed?
7. Could you please describe your approach for managing patches? Or maybe you can recommend some books/web page/articles that can help me to understand patch management.
Thanks in advance,
Daniel

smpatch is the command line tool to manage solaris patching. first you need to register yours system - this can be done using sconadm, detailed here:
http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-9-82688-1
smpatch analyze will list all required patches and resolve dependencies. smpatch download will download all the required patches, and smpatch update will apply them. You can set up a Local Patch Server to download patches, then your clients will download the patches they require from it. This is detailed in chapter 6 of the update connection admin guide

ZCM Patch Management Dashboard blank

I'm using ZCM 10.2 RC1 and am trying to test Patch Management. I have patch management working, patches have downloaded and DAU is running. One thing that is not working is the dashboard. I have flash installed but the dashboard is blank. Are there any special requirements for the dashboard? Has anyone else got it working?
BTW, I'm running ZCM under Windows Server 2003 Standard x64 SP2.

Windows 7 SP1 Prerequisite not in patch management

Reading the notes for Windows 7 Service pack 1 it has a prerequisite of MS
update 976902 which as far as I can tell is not offered up by patch
management. Does this strike anyone else as odd to not have it available in
patch management. I would also think that SP1 would not be offered for
install if I didn't have this update installed.
If I run windows update I am offered up 976902 but not SP1.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976902 is the prerequisite
Best Regards,
Jim Koerner

FYI noticed 976902 is now listed in patch management.

Difficulty in installing Patch manager 2 on Solaris 9

Hello,
I have a Solaris 9 machine on which I am trying to install Patch Manager
2. I have PatchPro 2.2 also installed on the same machine.
Since PatchManager2 requires some patches to be installed previously
like: 112945 117593 117595, I tried to install these. The last one
117595 if I understood correctly contains the patch manager itself. The
problem is that I installed 112945-40 which the patch manager doesn't
like and would instead require 112945-27. I tried patchrm 112945-40 and
patchrm -f 112945-40 but invain. I also tried patchadd 112945-27 and
patchadd -u 112945-27 but invain also.
# patchadd -u 112945-27
Checking installed patches...
Executing prepatch script...
Verifying sufficient filesystem capacity (dry run method)...
Patch 112945-27 failed to install due to a failure produced by pkgadd.
See /var/sadm/patch/112945-27/log for details
Patchadd is terminating.
The following is the log file:

This appears to be an attempt to install the same architecture and

Similar problems with patch manager...
Since PPro is being decommisioned and the suggestion is to go with PM 2, I went ahead and uninstalled PPro.
Now, for PM, the required patch is 112945-35 or higher, which I had on the system, excep that I have no smpatch command anywhere.. I backed out 112945-40 and reinstalled it, only to get the following:

ZCM Patch Management Patch Status Inaccuracies

We currently have issues with ZCM Patch Management incorrectly reporting the status of a couple of Microsoft updates. Specifically, we have firm evidence of this for the following patches (but suspect there may be more):
Microsoft Office 2007 SP3 - Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer shows it as required, ZCM says its already applied.
MS11-049 InfoPatch 2007 - Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer shows it as required, ZCM says it's not applicable.
We are checking the ZCM status in both the {guid}.state file on the device (which has today's date stamp) and in ZCC - both of these places show the same, incorrect, status.
We see this issue on multiple managed devices. The zone is 10.3.3. Devices have 10.3.3 with Patch Management Agent Update 2.
This isn't a timing issue, as we have left things several days before checking the status again.
I am raising a call with our Novell reseller, but am interested to find out if anyone else is seeing similar issues.
Thanks,
Martin

NullPointerException on Patch Management tab

I upgraded yesterday to 11.2.3a. When I go to a device and look at the Patches tab, patches are listed with the devices status and I can deploy patches.

Spiceworks Patch Management

Does anyone have a built in tool for Spiceworks Patch Management of 3rd Party Software?
With all of these Zero-day's coming from Adobe Flash I'm really looking into this issue more and more. Managing 120 devices for a major security patch, every month now for the past several months has been very tiresome.
Is there any functionality like this. Are they are good open source tools. The reporting is useful enough, but still a lot of overhead to perform the work.

this?

Patch Manager for Solaris 9 9/05

I am trying to locate the Patch Manager download for Solaris 9 9/05 but all I have been able to locate on the downloads site is the version for Solaris 8. Does anyone have a link to the Solaris 9 version? Thanks.

Exactly, whith that configuration all works well (if my server is connected to Internet).
The problem is when I have another server, not connected to Internet, that requires new patches.
If I have good understood I can install patch manager(2.0) on that server, require patches to my local patch server and if the patches required aren't on the disk the local patch server requires them to Sun. During this request it seems that my local patch server doesn't connect trough the proxy (snoop doesn't report connections). even if the configuration is set. (I have tried a reboot too).
