SCCM 2012 Software Update Management for Windows Servers and how to automatic set SCOM maintenance mode?

Hi,
We planning to go one level higher to automat and have more dynamic Software Update Management for Windows Servers. We have SCCM 2012 R2, SCOM 2012 R2 and SCO 2012 R2.
Our plan is to pur server in an AD-Group to get Update Schedule, from the servers will be importet to an Collection for Automatic Update and reboot. If I understand Everything right SCOM can't read AD-Group and put then in an Schedule maintenance mode. SCOM
can read reg value as exempel.
IS there any smar way to make the SCOM Maintenance Mode Schedule dynamic?
I found this

You could use Orchestrator to put the servers from a specific collection, or AD group, in maintenance mode in SCOM. For an example see:

How do i Install the Software Update Server for Windows 7?

How do i Install the Software Update Server for Windows 7? I get an error saying: Can't Install the Software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.
I downloaded the software so How do I install it?
Do I install it all over again or when I have windows open?
I am using Bootcamp.

Back up your system drive completely. If you have no backup plan in place, now would be a good time to start. You can use CarbonCopyCloner to make a complete, bootable backup of your system on another drive or volume. After you have done this: download the combo update using the link supplied by Niel and run the installer.

Local Apple Software Update Server for Windows

Has anyone figured out, how to use Leopard's Software Update Server, as a local Apple Software Update Server for Windows?
As you may know, 10.5 Software Update Server downloads, not only mac updates, but the windows' version of them as well (e.g. Safari, iTunes for windows).
There has to be a way to use that new feature.

{quote:title=Apple wrote:}
Software Update Server is capable of automatically mirroring updates between
Apple’s software update server and your local server to guarantee that the most
current updates are immediately available. Mac OS X Server also supports hosting
Apple updates for software running in Boot Camp, such as iTunes and QuickTime for
Windows. To ensure security, all updates are digitally signed by Apple.

No idea, how to get it running smoothly yet, however.

Hi there!
Please see this thread for the download links for the Fingerprint Software 5.8 ....
This issue was already raised in the ThinkVantage subforum here at Lenovo Forums and it is resolved.
Regarding the Turbo Memory, please keep in mind that the hardware only works with Vista. Windows XP does not support turbo memory thus the piece of hardware is rendered useless. With regards to Turbo Memory usage in Vista, the latest drivers do fully support the card in Vista and since there are no technological changes, there is no need for additional or new drivers.
Hope this helps!

Software Updates support for Windows XP through SCCM

Hi
As we all know Windows XP end of life support is approaching, I am hoping that someone may be able to help me understand what will happen once this has ended.
We have a customer who has purchased the extended support for 1yr, What I need to understand is, what will the process be to release Windows XP Patches to customers who have purchased the extended support.
We currently use SCCM SUP for the deployments, I am assuming that this will not be the process going forward so what is Microsoft's view on managing this for paid customers and how do we manage it?
Many Thanks
Ann

I beieve I heard awhile back that there's a tool sumilar to SCUP that will be available for those who have purchased an extended support contract.
This was what I had heard from other customers was done for Windows 2000 updates and XP SP2 updates after the expiration of SP2 support.
There's a
thread in the WSUS forum related to Windows 2000 that discusses this (once you get past all the confusion and convolution regarding the original issue), and that thread references
another thread in the CM2007 Software Updates forum related to post-SP2 updates for Windows XP.
From what I can get from these articles, it's a self-contained import tool that reads a Microsoft-supplied CAB that contains the contract updates.

SCCM 2012 Software Updates not installing (bothh Windows patches & 3rd party updates)

Using SCCM 2012 R2, I am having a problem getting Windows updates to install. Applications published to people work, and basic software installations published to machines for a straight install work. However, both Windows patches and Adobe patches
fail to install on clients. I have imported the Adobe catalog into SCUP, and publish through WSUS. I can see the Adobe patches and Windows patches in SCCM, and can publish them. However, in deployment status out of 4 machines in my test group the Windows patches
installed on 1 and the other 3 are still in Unknown status with category of "Client check passed/Active". However, none of them are installing the patch - they don't even seem to try. All of those are Windows 7 PCs, incidentally. On Adobe patches,
one PC fails and the other 3 machines still sit in Unknown status. Certificates are distributed,
Any ideas what might cause the deployment to not push some targets, even when it's past the deadline?
Thanks,
Andy Maslin

An unknown status means that the clients are not reporting back to ConfigMgr correctly. This is often due to the WUA not pointing at the correct WSUS instance. You can verify this by examining the WUAHandler.log on one of those clients and it will clearly
indicate an issue with this which in turn is often due to a group policy overriding the ConfigMgr behavior.

this process is keep on rotating in all the deployment .
how to resolve this issues.

Velu M

Hi,
You could try to initiate Software Updates Deployment Evaluation Cycle action from a problematic client, then check CIAgent.log, StateMessage.log to see if there are any helpful information.

Expiration and Supersedence within an SCCM 2012 Software Update Context

In SCCM 2012 I have put a process together where I wait till the Friday after Patch Tuesday to begin prepping for production Software Update deployments that will take place that following week, beginning on the first Sunday following Patch Tuesday. I wait
till Friday for preparation, because the thought is if I wait till then and synchronize the patches to grab the metadata later in the week, I will not pick up any patches that may have already been superseded or expired that were just released just days before
on Patch Tuesday.
My question is, is this a good practice? I have just been doing it this way for a while, but not sure it this is considered a best practice or what. I guess I am just looking for confirmation and also any other techniques, methods, and\or processes that
may serve me better.
If anyone can offer any input that can give me better insight, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

So how does it work if I sync on Patch Tuesday after the patches are released, and build my packages and deployments right after that and deploy them to the clients and then I re-run another synchronization say on that following Thursday or Friday and find
out that one of those patches that I deployed has already expired or superseded?
Thanks Torsten

Apple Software Update-iCloud for Windows

Day 2, still cannot download via Apple Software Update. Either it fails or the progress bar just stops at around 50% downloading. Help!

Hi All
as first, now I don't have a solution for it. I tried to reinstall of iCloud.exe but no effect.
I have the same problem here. My set up is: Win 7 last update with Outlook 2010 and iCloud 4.0.2, iPhone 5 iOS 7 full update.
In outlook I'm using exchange account and gmail (imap setup) + iCloud (to be sync with my iPhone).
Few weeks ago I realize that synchronization between Outlook and iCloud stopped and it is not working .
I'm not sure by this but I think that this problem could be problem of Windows, Not apple
I found out that If I create totally new windows account (new user). Open outlook and add my gmail + exchange account + iCloud account (so new set up) everything is working correctly and without any problem!
Next what I found out is that If I create new profile in Outlook and I create all my account for that new outlook profile it is not working!
Next what I found out is that if I add different iCloud account is my current outlook profile on my current windows user account (I mean iCloud account I never used before on my Win 7 PC) it is not working anyway
In my case this problem is not connected to iCloud and Outlook generally, I can see problem only if i set up iCloud with my current window user account.
Another issue is:
If I sign out iCloud from my PC and confirm delete data from my PC.
After that I add the same iCloud to the PC again.
In Outlook I can see that there is no calendar in iCloud group.
All my iCloud calendars are part of main calendar group created by main account in Outlook.
Next problem is that I don't have any special panel with synchronizing icon in outlook/calendar anymore. (I used to have it before that problem in Outlook.
BUT, If I create new windows user account and add my current iCloud account I can see that panel as a last one in Tool bar by clicking calendar icon in outlook.
It means that problematic file has to be somewhere in C:/users/name/appdata/

Change the language of Apple Software Update ASU for Windows

Hi,
I'm leaving in Korea and while having my whole computer in English and even iTunes and Quicktime set in English, the Software Updater is in Korean (which is not very useful as I can't really work my way through it).
_I know_ there has been a post about not solving the problem but avoiding it by changing the language settings, but I still need to keep Korean as a language for non-unicode in my settings as I am still working with some Korean software and else my whole display is just filled with question marks. And trust me, Korean and GoogleTranslate is better than just question marks...
So, any idea ? Or maybe some developper passing by willing to add a little menu or at least give the change to download the updater in English ?
Anyway, thanks for any help you may be willing to give !

but ASU re-installs automatically the language files after reboot when I launch the program
(mutter mutter) My fault, sorry. I assumed that ASU wasn't using advertised shortcuts. We've still got a shot at this, I think.
Try deleting all but the en.lproj folders again.
Now head back into the main Apple Software Update program files folder. Right-click on SoftwareUpdate.exe and select "Create shortcut". Rename the shortcut as you please ("English ASU" perhaps?) and drag it out onto the desktop.
Reboot, and now try launching ASU by doubleclicking on the "English ASU" (or whatever) shortcut. Does it launch in English this time?
(With an advertised shortcut, before launching the program a check is run against the installation database to check to see that all the program files and registry entries that ought to be present are indeed present. If there are some missing, a repair install of the program will run in order to replace the missing files and whatnot. That's what caught us last time. But if we launch her from an ordinary shortcut, then we should be able to avoid the repair install replacing all the missing language resources.)

SCCM 2012 Software Update Group Statistcs showing wrong Asset Count

Under Software Update Groups in the summary tab the statics section shows total asset count: 5. I only have this group deployed to only one collection with 1 machine.
I have a second Software Update Group in the summary tab the statics section shows total asset count: 5. I only have this group deployed to only one collection with 3 machines.
The two collection have only one machine in common.
I tried to run a summarization but these numbers are not updating.
where does the asset count come from and how do I get it to display correctly?
Thanks,

The asset counts shown in the console for software groups are not specific to any collection or deployment. If you want numbers specific to a collection, you need to use reporting or a console query.

Major Sync and software update issue with windows 7 and iphone

Loved my iPhone 3g and love my 4.0! My only concern is syncing and software updates are sporadic.
When I first purchased and sync'd my 3g on my laptop, that I had since 2005 w/XP home 64bit, it would constantly (1 out of 5 times) show phone was disconnected and could not sync. Purchased a desktop, 2009 w/Vista 64bit (same issue mentioned continued) then upgraded to windows 7 64bit (same issue mentioned continued).
Both pc's are authorized and contain the same apps and software. I went through all trouble shooting steps (authorize/deauthorize, phone hard boot, sync w/airplane mode on and/or off, uninstall and or reinstall iTunes, etc...) when both phones would brick after software updates on both pc's.
The last software update 4.0 and most recent 4.2.1 went well on laptop with XP and no longer shows sync issue. The problem continues on the windows 7 and backup has completed successfully 3 times.
Long story short, I have to pray the laptop never dies because iTunes, syncing and software updates on XP works now! The problem with software update, backups and syncing persists on windows 7.
* I was able to apply 4.2.1 software update on XP and then connect to windows 7 to sync and backup successfully. I then disconnected/reconnected iphone to windows 7 and problem happened again, unable to sync phone was disconnected error message.

I've had my new pc for over a year, never had any probs syncing my iphone (then a 3G but now the big 4!)
I went to sync updates to Apps and a couple of tunes I had downloaded straight to my phone only to get an error message 'iTunes has stopped working - windows is checking the problem' followed by another messaged telling me there was a problem causing the program not to work correctly. Windows will close the program and notify me if a solution is found'
Well..... I have NO music on my iPhone and every time I try to sync, the same error messages come up and the bloody program shuts down....

ITunes tells me there is new software updates available for my nano and when I press update it tells me that iTunes could not contact the iPod software update server b/c I'm not connected to the internet (I know that I am or I could not submit this)?

So anyone know why the iPod software update server connot connect to my PC when I know that I'm on the internet?

If necessary, also see:
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
