Problem updating 10.6.8 SWUpdate server to host Lion updates

Anyone else having problems following the directions in KB article "Mac OS X Server v10.6: Hosting Software Updates for OS X Lion or Lion Server" <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4771?viewlocale=en_US>?
It's basically modifying a plist and a conf file, but when I look at MY .conf file I don't find the specified text to change? I've even checked the previous version of the file, and don't find the text.
TFA says:
In step 5, you will need root access to update the file /etc/swupd/swupd.conf. To be safe, make a backup copy of the file before editing it. Locate the following line near the end of the file:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} Darwin/11
Edit the following line to read:
RewriteRule ^/index\.sucatalog$ /index-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog
But I'm not finding either of these lines in my own file.
Anyone have luck with this? Anyone run into the same issue?
TIA for any help!
-Nick

Hmm, I'm having more of a problem now. Having re-started SUS, /etc/swupd/swupd.conf contains the required lines, so I stopped SUS again, edited swupd.conf as indicated and restarted SUS. All seems good, except when I checked back, swupd.conf has reverted back to how it was prior to my edit. IOW, the rewrite rules etc are there, but Darwin/10 and Darwin/11 are identical again with no mention of lion.
I've repeatedly edited the file, but every time SUS starts, it reverts the file. The swupd.conf.previous file actually contains the correct line, so looks like every time SUS starts it copies swupd.conf to swupd.conf.previous, but then creates a new swupd.conf based on something else.
I also edited /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/SUServer.framework/Versions/A/Resources/swupd . conf to contain the correct line, but although it does seem to be retained, it doesn't help and /etc/swupd/swupd.conf ALWAYS reverts to the old incorrect line.
So, how worrying is this that Apple's own technical article on this subject is now wrong on 2 counts. First of all, swupd.conf is likely to initially not contain the line they are instructing us to modify and then if it does (because SUS has been restarted since they issued some update) editing the file is UTTERLY USELESS since starting SUS again just reverts the file. Sometimes I despair.
Anyway, SUS is obviously obtaining the file from somewhere else and writing /etc/swupd/swupd.conf on every start. So where is it getting it from? I cannot find any other instance of swupd.conf, so it's extracting it from something else. Anyone any idea where?

Problems with my m-audio nrv-10 since mountain lion update

I recently updated to mountain lion and now my M-Audio NRV-10 sound board won't register with Garageband, It finds the board and lets you select to use it but when I try talking through my microphone it doesn't register sound in Garageband (it is registering sound through the board itself). Does anyone have any fixes for this or indeed know why this is the case?
This has come at a really annoying time since I have a podcast ready to go that just needs my spoken parts and I really don't want to use the built in microphone.
Any help would be great

FWIW, I've used an NRV-10 with mountain lion and garageband without problems.
one thought: make sure you have the latest drivers from M-Audio.

Hosting Software Updates for OS X Lion or Lion Server on Snow Leopard Server: instructions don't fit

I have a server running 10.6.8 and several services. Because some of the systems in my house are going to be upgraded to Lion (not the server), I want to be able to host Lion updates in addition to Snow Leopard Updates.
I followed the instructions to the letter located at http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4771 to make this happen, but a majorpart of instruction 5 does not exist!
I went to find the line
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} Darwin/11
in the /etc/swupd/swupd.conf file, but it does not exist. And yes, I do have root access, as I own the server.
I've searched for duplicate files with the same name, and I have had no luck.
Has anyone else had this problem? If so, then what is the solution?

Solved. Thanks for the solution at https://discussions.apple.com/message/15678001.
Can a mod/admin close this please? Thanks.

Software update server showing too many updates

We are having an issue with our Software Update Server on 10.6.8. It has started showing too many updates to the clients. For example, it will show the iTunes 10.5.1 update as well as iTunes 10.5 update if the 10.5 update hasn't been applied. If iTunes is several versions behind, it will show all those updates too. I also see this on Security Updates and Raw Compatibility updates.
At first I thought this was due to turing on the ability to host Lion updates, but it isn't the case. I have since turned on SUS on a different machine and it still does this for updates.
Anyone have a fix for this?

Same issue with our 2008 XServe. At 3am to 8am this morning, Software Update Server went loony & downloaded over 18GB of old updates.
Naturally, after tracking down this was the culprit, I've gone in & temporarily disabled Copy all updates from Apple, and disabled Automatically enable copied updates. To preserve our miniscule amount of broadband download quota remaining - it had shrunk to 500MB for the coming fortnight.
So we'll have to data-diet.
No idea why 18GB of old updates were downloaded out of the blue by Software Update Server. I wonder if yesterday's release of Apple Software Installer Update 1.0 somehow adjusted the back end of update management.

HT1338 installing Mt. lion update from the app store, FROZE

Got an update notice from the Apps Store for Mt. Lion update and a canon printer update. Clicked "Update" and everything was normal till a popup to "close Safari to continue the installation." I closed Safari but the popup did not go away. The update bar says " running package scripts" but nothing has happened in the last hour. Tried to restart the computer but got "Your computer can NOT be restarted now because software is being installed." How do I get out of this mess ?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Open  > Force Quit and quit App Store. Then, restart Mountain Lion and update to the most recent version

Version Cue Server 4.0.1 Update Problems

I've recently run into a problem with Version Cue Server 4.0.1. I've been using "Adobe Creative Suite CS4 Master Collection" without any problems until a couple of days ago when I ran the updates.
The updates locked up and failed on Version Cue, and after that, every time I right click on my desktop or in Windows Explorer, I get the error message:
"The specified module could not be found. C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Version Cue CS4\4.0.1\VersionCue.DLL"
Then everything crashes and reloads.
I called tech support and they said to reboot in a simplified mode, create a new administrator account, and reinstall version cue. Didn't work. I tried reinstalling both from the CD and from the downloaded update. Same problem. The installation goes most of the way and then fails.
I uninstalled Master Suite and was able to right-click again without problems, so I went back to a simplified boot and tried re-installing the software...which crashed my computer and caused the same right-click error message.
As I said earlier, everything worked fine right up until the point I ran the updates, so I know the software will run on my computer (Vista 32bit service pack 1).
Thoughts?

All,
I personally have been driving this issue at Adobe. As mentioned before, we've been hindered by the fact that we cannot yet reproduce the problem on a machine in our offices. But I've been doing all that I can to coordinate between customers and Senior Computer Scientists who are investigating this.
Here's the new information that has been learned by remotely debugging on customer's machines (great thanks to those who have made time for this!).
The problem is isolated to the binary patching function in our update components. This means updates that modify the files on your current system are impacted. Updates that simply replace the existing files with all new versions of the files, are not affected. While I don't have a complete list of which update uses which method, I can say that the recently released Photoshop CS4 and InDesign CS4 updates use a full file replacement method, so they should be no risk.
It was earlier believed that this problem only happened in the context of the Adobe_Updater.exe, which downloads the updates and runs them in with UI suppressed. This is now known not to be true, so "manual" running of the updates is not a valid workaround (sorry for those who spent time trying this).
There is some suspicions that the issue has to do with the temp folder being used by the updater. I've tested a private build with a change in this area on a couple customer machines, and got more elegant failures (didn't cause apps to stop working), but still no success
Lourens Van Der Jagt,
I found your observation about the "FAST IO DISALLOWED" messages to be very interesting, and forwarded that, along with results of my recent tests of the private build, to the devs.
One other thing that I found on the Vista machines I've looked at, which I'm curious about. On all machines I've looked at, the NTFS junction (looks like a shortcut) named "Program Data" in the root of the user folder is visible, while all other junctions are not. And, the junction can be browsed. All other Vista systems I've ever seen do not display this unless protected system files are asked to be displayed, and then they cannot be browsed.
I want you all to know that I have been working hard to represent you and get a resolution for this. I appreciate the hardship it presents to you, and I take it very seriously. Please keep the dialog going, and I'll try to keep updating here and in other threads as much as I can.
Sincerely,
Matt

Software Updater comes on, states that I urgently need this update. Yet when I agree the s/w update server connection goes on an on but do not seem to connect. What is the problem?

I have a Dell PC. This Software Updater comes on saying I need to update . I states that I urgently need this update! Norton says okay. I go ahead and approve. Then it start...updater connecting to update server... and it goes on an on and on. until I turned it off.
I have done that several times. I have even left it on to go on about my business. But apparently it hasn't unloaded anything because it keeps coming back on when I start up my computer.
Is this your updater?

If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Problem: "Contacts the server for iphone software updates"

Hi,
Itunes starts contacting server for iphone software updates. Waited for one hour, but nothing happens.
I´ve tried several times, but no luck
Any ideas?
Thanks

Just want to add myself to the list of people with the same problem.

My server keeps telling me that I have an update for 10.10.1 and that I should look for it in the app store. I do that and am not finding anything that makes the update notification go away. I have installed an update the app store says I need.

I updated to Yosemite on my Mac mini/server. Then my server wouldn't work. I updated and bought the software needed when updating to Yosemite. The server seems to be working. Subsequently I've started getting a notification on the server icon that an update is needed. When i look for details I'm instructed to go to the app store. I've done that. In the updates category no update is found by the app store system. I then went to the purchases category and was informed I needed to install the server software I'd purchased. While I'd installed before, I did it again. I still have the 1 in a red circle covering part of the server icon. I have restarted the mac mini. I can't figure out what step I'm missing. The continued presence of the red circle suggests that the software still isn't installed. Looked into restarting the server in help but don't find clear instructions that make sense. Suggestions from someone who has a mac mini server and has worked with this topic would be greatly appreciated. General comments from anyone who has not looked at this kind of problem before might turn out to be unenlightening for this neophyte.

I tried turning the computer off and then back on. The alerts don't show the notice to update as resolved. Hopefully this is not a problem or an indicator or another problem. Should I ignore or reload 10.10.1 from the app store to trigger a resolved check in a green circle?
Interesting that I had to buy server software after my free Yosemite download. I would have hoped that the two pieces of software would have gone together without any complication. It is not positive to end up buying a problem. Ah well, time to move on.

Windows Update searching forever on Windows Server 2012 R2

Hi,
I upgraded a Windows Server 2008 R2 to Windows Server 2012 R2 a couple of weeks ago. Everthing seems to be ok except the Windows Update Service. Whenever i started the check for Update the check never completes - i have to reboot the Server. It doesn't matter
if i check with WSUS Server (Default) or check online.
Similar when i try to stop the wuauserv - stopping forever - reboot
i checked the windowsupdate.log - i does not show unusual message
When i do a:
c:\Windows\system32> wuauclt.exe /reportnow
or just without any parameter
Nothing happens!
It seems that the program stops imediately and nothing happens.
What i tried so far:
1) net stop wuauserv --> stopping
Rename c:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution ; reboot - same problem
2) remove the wsus entries from the registiry --> Reboot -> same problem
3) remove the Wsus entries in the Registry under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate
SUSClientID & SUSClientIDValidation ; removed the Client from the WSUS Console ; reboot --> same Problem
4) i could install the updates with wusa.exe --> no problem
any ideas ?
best regards

One or more of the updates requested by Final Cut Server could not be...

We are getting the warning " One or more of the updates requested by Final Cut Server could not be applied. (one or more replacement file(s) had unexpected track settings.)" when a FCPv6.06 (possibly also FCPv7.0) project file is checked-out of Final Cut Server v1.5.1. The assets linked to the project are cached down successfully (this in not an XSAN environment) but opening the project alerts to some offline media files (not all) and we need to manually relink them to the assets in the Final Cut Server cache. All is good again until the project file is checked-out of FCSvr to another workstation.
Having a look at the path of the offline files it is referencing the path of the assets as they were on the previous editor's (different) workstation. None of our workstations have the same path to the Final Cut Server cache.
My understanding and experience is that FCSvr manages the paths for FCP linked assets and modifies the checked-out file's path to point to the workstation's FCSvr cache?
Can you tell me how I can resolve this issue?

I may have resolved this issue today or I'm at a stage where I can't replicate it. The problem may have been propagating from a within a template FCP project file we use to start our productions. I assume it was a corruption of the FCP file that FCSvr didn't recognise?

Update will not connect to server, continuous lagging and questionable security?

I actually have a few questions. I recently switched to Firefox from IE9 for a few reasons. My IT Security professor mentioned Firefox was safer than most and an online article suggested it was faster than IE9. So I decided to give it a chance; the previous version was too slow and wouldn't play any video so I downloaded version 4. It worked great for about 3-4 weeks and now I'm having the following problems:
1. Every time Firefox says it has to update, the window pops up to connect to server. All it does is continuously try to connect (nothing happens). Now, one time I left it open all day to see if it would and that night a window popped up and said to restart Firefox to complete. I did what it said and it just started trying to connect to the server again.
2. When I first downloaded Firefox 4 it was fast and almost never lagged. Now, it seems as if every page I try to connect to lags. In fact, sometimes I have to close it down and restart. It's actually normal pages I open everyday like school, mail, weather and typical Yahoo pages. Nothing has changed on my end, so I'm unaware of why this is happening now.
3. I'm really concerned with the security issues. I still have IE9; recently, because of lagging and security issues, I've tried switching between the two to check cleaning details. I'll run my cleaner after a day of IE9 and do the same for Firefox (same typical searches). With IE9, there's not much to clean, maybe 17-18 mb's at most (cookies, typical stuff) and never had a virus. The CPU monitor also stays calm. On Firefox, I get 160-210 mb's every time. The CPU gauge fluctuates constantly and I've had three viruses.
I'm not sure if it's because the updates will not take or what, but I've had to switch back to IE9 because of these problems. I really enjoyed Firefox (when it worked); the interface was easy to navigate and use and in the beginning was very fast. I miss it! But because of these issues, I have to take a break until they are fixed. I can't afford to have my computer crash. Please help!

Leopard Server 10.5.2 hosed after Security Update 2008-002 v1.1 Server

I am running Leopard Server 10.5.2 on a Mac Pro 2x3.2 GHz quad core xeon. I did a software update today which included Security Update 2008-002 v1.1 Server. I did disk verify and permissions repair on as usual before the update. Afterwards, I found that I could not log into my local user account with administrator privileges. I can log in as "root" using the local administrator password. All my users can log in. But all the groups have disappeared, and so have the wikis associated with these groups. The data seems to be there in /Library/Collaborations, however.
This was a simple server configuration with 5 users - I was essentially using only the groups wiki function. The server had no client machines. Its not like I had a complex configuration. I am absolutely mystified - spent an hour on the phone with Apple support and they took all the server logs for analysis. I was wondering if anyone else had this update go wrong in a similar configuration.
I would be very grateful for any advice!

I had the same thing happen. It took me a while to figure out why because I installed the update before the weekend and then came in on Monday and nothing worked. I've searched around quite a bit and found some people had the same problem but haven't found a solution. Right now my server is sitting there useless, even after reverting to a backup before the update.
Did you or anyone else find a solution to this?

Lync 2010 Certificate Issue - "There was a problem verifying your certificate from the server"

Greetings.
My Issue:
Lync 2010 client does not connect to server;error displayed "Cannot sign into Lync. There was a problem verifying the certificate from the server."
Description:
The client is running on my Windows 7 box, and my CA server is a Windows Server 2003 box. I have installed the hotfix on the Server 2003 box to update the Web Enrollment portion of CA to allow for newer clients (Vista and 7) to receive certificates from
this server.
Lync server is running on Server 2008 R2 STD, installation was a success.
The Windows 7 box is a part of the domain.
I have manually exported the Root CA from my Enterprise CA server from
Trusted Root Certification Authorities -> Certificates and imported into the same location on my Windows 7 box.
If I look at the certification path on the Root CA, on my Windows 7 box, it says "The certificate is OK." The same goes for the servers involved.
Still nothing.
I have read the other forum posts on here about people having success once they manually import the Root CA from the Enterprise CA server, but this is not my case here.
All certificates are successfully assigned on the Lync server box; however, I did have to manually import the Root CA into Lync server's
Trusted Root Certification Authorities -> Certificates before I could successfully assign them. Had to do this on another deployment I completed, so I didn't think anything of it.
To recap: it seems that even with my Root CA imported into my Windows 7 box I can still not connect to my Lync server with the client, and I get the error message "There was a problem verifying the certificate from the server."

Solved
Solution : Export certificate from Lync Server Start > Administrative Tools > IIS > Server Certificate > Export > abc.pfx save it, Copy and place the certificate where Ms Lync 2010 client is installed or getting certificate
error. Follow these steps on client machine to install certificate
Run > mmc > add or remove snap in > certificates > computer account > local computer >finish > ok > expand Certificate > Trusted Root Certification Authorities > Certificate > All task > Import > copy abc.pfx certificate
and delete unnecessary certificate from there.
Restart Client machine and open microsoft Lync client 2010 and open option menu > Personal > Advanced > choose Auto Configuration > save ok

Update data automatically in sql server 2005 based on condition proplem

Hi guys i have problem I have two table
First one is
Second One is Vacation
as relation one to many (vacation has foreign key of Contract No OF Table Contract)
what i need is to update Contract table with field status =Finish where start vacation date >end contract Date
How i do that in sql server 2005 to make update automatically
Ex
contract table
status nvarchar(20)
end contract date time
vacation table
start vacation date time
end vacation date time
start vacation date is 23/10/2014
and End
is 26/10/2014
Now not update status in contract table to finish because vacation date start is less from end contract
but when date today is 27/10/2014 update contract table field status to finish
automatically with sql server 2005
How i do that condition to make update to data automatically based on changing on date
Update statement i need is
update Contract set status = finish where start vacation>end contract
but problem how i write this statement to update data automatically based on date today

Please post DDL, so that people do not have to guess what the keys, constraints, Declarative Referential Integrity, data types, etc. in your schema are. Learn how to follow ISO-11179 data element naming conventions and formatting rules. Temporal data should
use ISO-8601 formats. You failed again. Code should be in Standard SQL as much as possible and not local dialect.
This is minimal polite behavior on SQL forums. Now we have to write the DDL that you did not bother with! What you did post was wrong! There is no key or constraints. There is no generic “status” in RDBMS; a "<something in particular>_status"
is a state of being, so it needs a temporal duration. The correct idiom for this data model is:
CREATE TABLE Vacations
(vacation_contract CHAR(15) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
vacation_start_date DATE NOT NULL,
vacation_end_date DATE,
CHECK(vacation_start_date < vacation_end_date),
Oh, a field is nothing like a column. You need to read a basic SQL or RDBMS book; you do not know the basics.
