Programatically change automatic update settings

Is there a way to remotely modify the automatic update settings for a corporate-wide deployment of Adobe Reader? We currently push updates from management software, but have some workstations that attempt to automatically install updates. It presents the user with the window to allow it install the updates, but they do not have the authority to do so. It is simple enough to say no and they get their files, but the window pop-up generates support calls. We just need a way to push out a change to disable the automatic update for all workstations to eliminate the problem.

Does anyone know the registry key in XI? There is a 11.0 folder, but no
FeatureLockDown below it. Has it moved or do we need to create it and then
create the bUpdater key?

Allow users to manage and change Automatic Update settings

Server SBS 2011 SP 1
Couldn't find a thread that helped. Hoping to get some light on my situation.
The client has users who they'd like to have full control of their client PCs Windows Automatic Updates. The users would like to go into Control Panel and check updates at will, set times for auto updates to their liking. I haven't found the appropriate
GPO setting to allow users to change update settings.
Is that possible? Will creating an OU without a linked GPO and blocking inheritance provide the answer?
Thanks ALL!

the dedicated SBS forums might bet better for your question (since SBS can be finicky about some settings)
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?category=sbsserver
It will likely depend upon how the implementation is currently setup (there could be various things in place, in a customised fashion).
Basically, when using GPO to deploy WUAgent settings for WSUS, the user interface for WU is disabled for the end-user - this is how classic domain GP works, and is intended to work. (i.e. if the domain admin deploys a setting, end-users are unable to change
that)
You may be able to easily identify the relevant domain GPO that is delivering this setting, but you would (presumably) want to only change the single setting relating to AUOptions, and leave the other settings as they currently are (i.e. continue to use
WSUS to serve the update approvals and update files/patches.
Creating a new OU and not linking/inheriting, may cause other unintended effects/complexity.
(it might be the only way to achieve your goal, but analysing which GPOs are carrying which settings, and then which GPOs you *do* need to be linked/inherited, will be an important step)

Setting automatic update settings for all users

Hello all,
I'm trying to roll out Quicktime 7.6 to our corporate desktops with the automatic update feature within Quicktime disabled. In past installs we were able to make the setting change and then copy the quicktime.qtp file to the "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple Computer\quicktime" directory on all the computers and all would be good. However with 7.6 is appears this file is now housed under the individual user's profile. Is there a way to make this a global setting for all users logging in to a pc?
Thanks in advance!

We have a similar problem in a High School, using Windows XP Pro, QT 7.x and Active Directory. While going to a Spanish Exam web page that uses QT, the students get locked into an auto update process. As restricted users, they can neither abort or accept the update, and are unable to complete the exam. We have found that unchecking the preference for auto update as an admin user does not uncheck it for anyone else. Under C:\Documents and Settings, there is no folder for Apple Software except for myself, once I have opened the QT preferences. I assume that Apple has hidden the location of the default preference to force updating, without regard to how that would work in a locked-down environment. It sure creates havoc when 30 students sit down for a timed and graded online exam!! Any answers out there?

Im using Windows 7 Ultimate, Cannot Change Windows Update Settings

Im using Windows 7 Ultimate, and I've been encountering difficulties in Windows Updates Settings. I want to change my settings on Windows Updates so I can install important software from the Internet. But the problem is it prompts this message "SOME SETTINGS
ARE MANAGED BY YOUR SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR" as well as "NEVER CHECK FOR UPDATES(NOT RECOMMENDED). Please help me to fix this problem... It is really important to me... I hope you can resolve this technical issue.. Thanks!!!

Hi,
Before going any further, I would like to verify if your pc is in a domain.
If your computer is part of a domain, this feature may be disable via GPO by your system administrator. You may need to contact it with your IT department.
If it is not in a domain but the issue appears, please make sure you are logging on with system administrator account. In addition, if any security program
is installed, please temporarily disable it.
Meanwhile, please check the GPO settings on your PC:
1. Click Start, type “gpedit.msc” and press enter.
2. Navigate to Computer Configuration-> Administrative Templates ->
Windows Component -> Windows Update. Make sure the states of all setting are Not Configured.
3. Navigate to Computer Configuration-> Administrative Templates->
System-> Internet Communication Management-> Internet Communication settings. Make sure the state of “Turn off access to all Windows Update features” is Not Configured.
Hope it helps.

Leo Huang

Hello:
I have win7 Professional, have same problem as in this link. I have made those change as mentioned. But, still my computer's windows update setting is not allowing me to change. It is grayed out, and set at "Check for updates but let me choose whether
to download and install them".
I am its administrator, it is in a workgroup, but it was put in by 'Best Buy Geeks'. I am able to use gpedit.msc, regedit, and also can run cmd as administrator.
I want to change it. Any suggestion, please!

IW41: automatic update of activity type when changing the work center?

Hello colleagues,
when doing a time confirmation with IW41, we have following problem:
In the PM order the operations are assigned to a neutral executing work center, as it not known which individual technician is completing the operation later on.
Now when the individual technician is entering the time confirmation with IW41, system is proposing the work center indicated in the operation from the PM order, then technician is overwriting the work center proposal with his own individual work center ID (and pressing Enter), but the activity type is not getting updated automatically. So the technician must jump to field "activity type" and choose the correct activity type.
Is there any solution (hopefully with user exits!) to have the field "activity type" automatically updated with the one indicated in the work center, which was entered manually?
Thanks for your ideas!
Regards,
Patrick

Hi Maheswaran,
yes, as usual all PM work centers have only 1 activity type assigned in the costing tab.
We also checked the settings of the activity type (KL03), but we just found one difference: the price indicator was set on 3 "Determined manually" - we've changed to 1 "Plan price, automatically based on activity" (..same setting as for the act. type of the work center with working update of act.type).
We tested already all possible constellations and scenarios, but we have not found any good reason for the behaviour.
Thanks for your efforts so far!

Downloads used to open after download. NOw they just end up in the download folder and I have to go to the folder to find it and open it. I did not change seettings, maybe an update changed it? I cannot find a way to change this in settings.

How do you reset the Apple ID to a new one for the automatic updates download tool? It defaults to my old Apple ID, even though I have changed the Apple ID to the new one everywhere I can find.

I have an original Apple ID from my personal iPhone and iPad. I bought a MacBook Pro for business and the Apple Store clerk told me to use the old Apple ID to make setup faster and that I could change to a new one later. So... I did all that and changed the Apple ID everywhere I can find a place to do so. And everything seems okay, except the Automatic Updates download tool defaults back to my original Apple ID. That old Apple ID is grayed out in the login, so I cannot seem to change it to download and update under my new, business-related Apple ID for my MacBook Pro. What to do?

Yes, absolutely, you can still use the old ID to update, etc., but I understood the OP to want to simply discard the old one and use only the new one. Maybe I misunderstood...
And, actually just now re-reading the first post, it could be that the ID had only been associated with the iDevices, so if he established a new ID and associated that with the new MBP, I frankly have no idea if he can still use the old ID on that machine (based on him saying that the old ID is greyed out) - have not come up with this type of situation before.

The App Store said I needed to switch countries so I clicked the button and it switched it for me but now I can't update my apps but when I try to change it through settings it still says the country is the u.s. I don't know what to do to change it back

How do I get my numbers spreadsheet changes to automatically update idisk version to use on macbook and vice versa without manually doing it?

I am a relatively new APPLE type of guy.
I have a fancy new MACBOOK Pro and a fancy new IPHONE.
I've left the Micosoft world and have decided to embrace iWork.
Was happy to see app release of iwork for iphone - purchased it - and even though spreadsheets on a tiny phone are a bit tough to get used to - i've decided to keep track of my gym work outs on the phone.
So I set up a work-out spreadsheet on my mac - threw it it idisk - and sucked it into numbers on the phone.
So far so good.
Can't seem to figure out though how to have my iphone and mac syncing with any changes to the spreadsheet i make at either end. I have a copy on idisk - and when i save a change on the macbook the change is made to the idisk file - cool - but i can't figure out how when i'm at the gym entering new data - to have that info automatically updating the idisk version.
any ideas?
or am I just a dumb jock thinking that all of this is actually possible with out me continually bringing in new versions of the spreadsheet from idisk into the numbers version on the iphone?
thanks in advance

Automatical update of PO quantity when changed in SO

We have a following issue
for our regular business we have a third party process for trading
goods. So we are using on customer sales order stock. In our system
following is possible: We create a sales order and after using of
Purchase requisition we create a purchase order. So now when we change
the quantity in SO and save the SO, this change is automatically done
in the PO as well.
So this really works without canceling the PO first,
changing the SO and creating a PO again.
So now we have implemented a new product in a different sales area with the same process and
with same material type HAWA but this automatical update of quantity is
not working.
What needs to be done to enable this function for our new
product as well?

My colleague was here when the system was implemented. He is not aware of any development here that enables this function. I have been looking for user exits and none are active for this. I have been told that this works only for customer sales order stock but I was not given any reason why.
It seems logical, that in some development a new sales area needs to be included as Bijay said. Anyway we still think this function works without additional development.
@Raghavendra we are using the SAP standard scenario. SO - PR - PO. PO is manually created out of PR in both cases.

How do you create a calculation that automatically updates changes?

Hi all,
I am trying to create a calculation using subtraction. This is how it is set out:
KM
-KG
=Field1
-Field2
=GM (fluid)
Under the calculate tab for Field 1, I have written in the Simplified field notation:
KM-KG
And under the calculate tab for =GM (fluid), I have written in the Simplified field notation:
Field1-Field2
And this all works perfectly providing I don't change any of the totals in the KM or KG or Field2 fields.
If I make changes in those fields they don't automatically update.
How do I make them automatically update?
Any assistance would be hugely appreciated.
Many thanks.
Bridie

To set the field calculation order, first go into form editing mode (Tools > Forms > Edit) and then: Tasks > Other Tasks > Edit Fields > Set Field Calculation Order
Order the fields in the list to whatever makes sense for your form. Be sure to do this again once you have the form working like you want to make sure it's still set up correctly.

This morning after an automatic update, I could not access my email on the phone at all. I rebooted. I checked settings. No mail app will open. what kind of update was that?

There was an automatic update to my ios on my phone whjen I checked it this morning. I hit "download" and it did. Since then , all my email accounts which I have been accessing with no problem are not accessible on my phone. I cna;t even open the phone app in settings - nothing.
I hit reset after tring several fixes, but that didn't make a difference.
What's up?

First, try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data, but it can clear some glitches after installing new software or apps.
If this does not help, set it up as new device, explained here:
