Schedule software distribution to download, then execute locally if downloaded at night

I would like to achieve the following scenario:
- Consider an .exe of 1GB that can be executed silently, placed on a server
- .exe needs to be installed on computers on a remote location, in the same internal network; so a slow connection
- .exe would take about a day or two to finish downloading, but installation is only about 30 minutes.
What I would like to achieve but have no idea how is the following:
1. User gets an advertisement to download content locally while their computer is on 2. Every evening from 10pm to midnight, SCCM checks which computers
have finished downloading the .exe, and if they have finished - installs the package.
Thank you

Maintenance windows affect only when the program runs; packages configured to download and run locally can still download content outside of the maintenance window.
This goes into detail about the process used and your options.

Adaptiva Software Distribution not working with Cisco APs in Local Mode

A worldwide customer would like to use a new Software distribution system called Adaptiva to replace SCCM within Windows environment. As far as I understand, Adaptiva is designed to work like a snowball system. A single PC at a remote side can be "infected" with new Software and will distribute the package to other PCs within the same IP-subnet, saving WAN bandwidth.
First tests are showing that it is working well with Cisco WLAN solution as long as we are using Flexconnect WLAN APs.
Customer locations with Local WLAN AP design create problems for this new software distribution method.
The WLAN-PCs can be reached from outside, but the establishment of the Client/Server-model between the WLAN Clients is not working. The Port used by this software for communication between clients in each WLAN subnet is UDP Port 34329.
Our WLCs are running at 7.4.130.0. The problem is appearing independently of AP Multicast settings or Broadcast Forwarding. Enabling Broadcast forwarding without Reboot did not improve the situation.
Global Multicast Mode and IGMP Snooping are also of no influence.
P2P Blocking Action is "Disabled" within the WLAN setup.
Who has any idea what might cause this communication problem between WLAN clients in Local Mode of APs ?
Thank You for answers

I can think of two solutions. You could 1: turn the "auto-lock" to never, so that your phone never sleeps. Or, you could 2: jailbreak your iPhone and install "insomnia". I wish we had the Cisco Mobile app. I usually use wifi/insomnia and turn data off at work since we have wireless pretty much everywhere...

Link broken for Adobe Reader and Runtime Software Distribution License Agreement download...

The link provided as part of the Adobe Reader and Runtime Software Distribution License Agreement, for downloading the PKG to mass-deploy Adobe Flash Player to my users (so I can update their machines to protect against yet another Flash exploit) keeps redirecting to typekit.com.
How do I go about getting the latest PKG so I can deploy the fix?

Can you try clearing your cache? This was indeed a problem earlier today (sorry!) but should be corrected now.
Thanks,
Chris

I cant update my software. It downloads updates , then says, 'an error has occurred and updates have not been installed'. I am now behind 6 months on updates. Any idea how to fix this?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Select "/var/log/install.log" from the file list. Post the messages from the last installation attempt, starting from the time when you launched the Installer or Software Update. Post the log text, please, not a screenshot.
If there are runs of runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.

Is there somewhere I can get support on the Adobe Software Distribution Request process? I have a broken download link in the resulting email.

Hi,
I recently renewed my Adobe Software Distribution license, as I saw that the existing download links were going to be retired.
So I received the resulting email for Air, Flash, Reader and Shockwave and all the links are fine, except for the one to download Reader XI.
Is there anywhere I can get support/help on this? Adobe online Support Chat have me going in circles...
Thanks
Craig

Yeah. Getting the software isn't a problem (there a number of ways to download it), but I just want them to take responsability for the broken link in the email, since I'm supposed to use that link to download the software.
After going through four Adobe support people, they've apparently passed it on to the "development" team... I wont be holding my breath on that.

SCCM 2012 software distribution not able to distribute content for chrome

Hi I am using sccm 2012, need some advice, thanks! I tried to deploy chrome exe to a xp pc but the PC software centre shows downloading for very long time, more than a few hours. I created a 64bit chrome for a win7 pc and deployment also not working, it
just failed. Then I downloaded a msi installer to deploy to an xp pc, the downloading also takes forever, I checked the distribution content, it's failed. I then created a DP group and add the single DP into it. but still not working. I did the work before
for firefox and it did work before. Not sure what happened. Not sure where to check the log for software distribution, any advice please?thanks!
Thanks and best regards, -- KF

Thanks, Narcoticoo!your advice is helpful!
So, does it mean I can use xxxx.exe /install /silent for all other exe installers? And to find out the detection method, do I have to install the exe on a local pc to find out the actual directory it will install it (Then uninstall it)? and xxx.exe /uninstall
is for uninstallation? Can I create a bat file like chrome-install.bat to have one line like "ChromeSetupStandAloneSetup.exe
/silent /install " as the the actual installer? Why there is a package option below application? it confused me ....
Thanks!
Thanks and best regards, -- KF

I have a MacBook pro version 10.6.7 with snow leopard. After an scheduled software upgrade I could not open Quicken (It said it could not open the files). Now I can only open it if I have my external drive on. Can you help?

I have a MacBook pro version 10.6.7 with snow leopard. After an scheduled software upgrade I could not open Quicken (It said it could not open the files). Now I can only open it if I have my external drive on. Can you help?
All the information that I had input on Quicken is gone. I have to have the external hard drive that I use to back up to be able to use quicken now. It is as if it was erased from the laptop hardrive

Try repairing permissions. My favorite way is with a utility called AppleJack. Info and download here. It's free. It only works when you boot in Single User Mode. When restarting or booting, hold down the Command key and S keys.
You will get a very different startup screen that looks like the Terminal app has hijacked the screen. Just let the lines of text scroll by. When that happens you will get a text entry prompt. Type in "AppleJack" without the quotation marks.
A DOS looking menu will appear. Choose 1 or d to run Disk Repair. If you get a message that Disk Repair found and corrected errors, run it again. Repeat until you get the "your disk appears to be ok" message. This rarely happens with my experience, though. This does the same thing as as booting from an external drive and running Disk Utility's repair. Only, no external drive is required!
Next, choose 2 or p to repair disk permissions. This will take a little while. AppleJack warns that it will take up to an half hour to run repair permissions. It'n never taken more than about ten minutes for my MacBook Pro.
As permissions are repaired, you will see each repair scroll on the screen. When done, the menu returns, choose q to quit. Then at the prompt, enter "exit" without the quotes. Your MacBook Pro should restart into Mac OS normally after this.
Hope this helps.

Cisco works Software distribution on 3750e and 3750

Hello,
From what I have been reading, all 3750s, rather alone or in a stack, show up as stacks in RME. So in order to install the cisco IOS update through RME I need to use the .tar files. I think I have figured out how to add the tar files to RME.
My question is if I am running a 3750e as the master switch and 2 or 3 3750s as slaves, when I use the tar file in ciscoworks would I select the tar file for the 3750e and the rest will follow? Or am I wrong in thinking how this works?
Would I have to update this kind of stack manually?
Thanks

Hi,
     With regards to 3750 Switches , when you take them out of the box, each 3750 switch has it's own sysObjectID that uniquely identifies what model of switch it is. When you convert 3750 switches into a stack however the sysObjectID of each individual switch is changed to catalyst37xxStack (.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.516) . If you subsequently dismantle the switch stack and use the switches in a standalone mode, they still retain sysObjectID of catalyst37xxStack (.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.516)
* There is a procedure that you can do to revert a 3750 switch back to it's original state and hence it's original sysObjectID, but most people aren't aware of this and hence don't do it.
     With regards to using RME SWIM to upgrade the IOS, of a 3750 switch stack, a few potential problems you should be aware of :
1. If you are running IOS 12.2(46)SE on any of your 3750's and you are using SSH as the SWIM transport protocol, then upgrading the IOS via SWIM will fail due to a bug in the switch SSH software. If you can use Telnet temprorarily as the transport protocol , this will work otherwise you will need to manually upgrade those switches running 12.2(46)SE
2. If you have a mixed stack ie some switches running Universal feature set and others running traditional IP ipbase feature set etc then RME SWIM will not handle this.
* An enhancement request for this has been opened, but has not yet been implemented - CSCsv73971 - "RME SWIM support for mixed stack"
3. Finally, have seen a couple of problems recently when upgrading 3750 switch stacks where by :
* RME tidies up the flash on the master switch to make sure it has enough room to copy over the tar file and then executes the 'archive download-sw ....' command on the switch to begin the transfer etc.
* The switch stack looks after copying the new image to the other members of the stack, not RME, and this fails if there is not sufficient free space on the flash of those switches to accomodate the new image. (In actual fact it doesn't just compare "free space >= image size" it looks for "free sapce >= 1.x * image size" where x is 10% or 15% ). So it would pay to do some manual tidy up of flash on switches other than the master switch in order to ensure no problems.
     I would test this in a lab before running a SWIM job to upgrade multiple devices.
     What version of RME are you running ?

Derek Clothier

SCCM 2012 R2 - How to add second Software Distribution?

I already have a Primary site server setup so I added another site system server so I could add the Distrubution Point to a remote 2012 R2 server (hope that was correct?)
Now I would like to also add the Software Distribution role to that secondary server. I'd like the types (security, optional, etc...), of software updates pulled from my primary site, but want the actually updates pulled from Microsoft. To have that setup
do I install the WSUS role on my secondary site server and then add the Software Update role?

Hi,
WSUS when used in SCCM as a SUP is only used for the clients to download the information about which updates exist, the actual updates are downloaded from the assigned DP. There is no way to configure a client to download security updates from SCCM and the
rest from Internet.
Yes, you did correct, it is not a Secondary site though it is a Site System for your Primary site if that is the same site server you are refereing to later.
The data actually downloaded by the clients from the SUP is not that much so it is normally no ide to install a new SUP.

Jölrgen

Software Distribution wrong link

Hello
I recieved a approvation mail for my Software Distribution Request / Acrobat Reader
the download link on that mail seems plain wrong !
- I don't copy the link here since Adobe advises in the mail not to share it...-
this link hops to a choice form where I'm redirected ...
to the standard 2-step download process ( 1st download a 950KB loader, then loader takes forever to download the real package in some hidden place )
- I don't copy the link here since Adobe advises in the mail not to do that-
this is precisely what we want to avoid : 35 people waiting for 35 * 60MB downloads
We'd like to store the big package on our LAN to upgrade 35 PCs, is that possible ?
Is there a way to download a real full install package for Reader 10.3 / Windows XP + W7/ French ?
Thanks in advance

Thanks, Dave
The link you give *is* the link I recieved by mail
Strange enough : I made the 3 choices again on that page,
and now I can download the full package we need ...instead of hoppin' to a consumer page, as it happened yesterday
problem solved, though I don't know how !
thanks again.

BI Publisher: Issue while scheduling the report/query to be executed daily

Hi,
We are using Oracle Business Intelligence 11.1.1.6.3 and while we schedule a report(RTF Template) we are facing issue.We use bursting query and when we select option to execute immediately it runs fine and sends notifications,it also executes when we schedule it to run Once but fails when i schedule the report to be executed DAILY .

hii
The query does not includes any RKF, CKF any complex calculations. as I said before also query is based on MP which is designed on a single Cube. There are no such navigational Attributes used for selection, Number of records are not more than 300 on that particular selection parameter
there is only one info object which is creating issue & it is a master info object. If i am restricting this info object in the query & then executes the query , it gives the error msg also i put a variable for input parameter, & there I restrict the value, then also query executes with an error msg
But if query is not restricted with any value for that info object then query executes with in a second.
Thanks

Software Distribution & Patching Design Issues - Migration of Packages SCCM 2007 to Application or Conventional Packages in SCCM 2012

Hi All
I am starting in discussion to deep root on Software Distribution & Patching model in large environments from SCCM 2007 migrating to SCCM 2012.
Below are certain assertions i am putting forward for your expert views or you may in a similar situation
1- I have migrated the packages from SCCM 2007 to SCCM 2012 as conventional methods, now i am deploying them [ not migrated the advertisements and collections ], so while deploying i am facing a peculiar situation that the deployment when created is of the
name "<<Package name>>(program)". I am not able to rename the deployment for the conventional packages. is there a way out to that??
2- Will the collection queries work the same in SCCM 2012 as was in SCCM 2007??
3- In SCCM 2012 Primary site there is default role called Site System role in that there is tab for proxy settings. I have observed that if do not check the proxy tab there and punch in proxy IP and port then after some time in the WSUS server the update
source and proxy server tab the proxy option gets unchecked and hence the sync in software update point status appears failed. Is that anyone else also has observed !!!!!

Student needing some questions answered about Manufacturing Scheduling software

Greetings;
I am a undergraduate senior at Arizona State University majoring in Supply Chain Management. I am currently doing a project about Oracle's Manufacturing Scheduling option and have a few general questions for those of you that have used the software and/or involved with its implementation. Your help is greatly appreciated. If you are uncomfortable releasing your company's name that is fine. If you do not want to post the answers here, I can also be emailed at rmkraus"SAYNOTOSPAMBOTS"@asu.edu. Thank you!!
The questions I have are:
What is your experience with the manufacturing scheduling software?
What is/was your role with the software?(ie buyer, consultant, user, technical support, etc)
How do you feel about the software's ease of use?
What training did you recieve or did your company offer?
How much did implementing the software approxiamately cost?
What do you feel are the advantages of the software?
What do you feel are the disadvantages of the software?
Did your company have any problems during the implementation?
Has your company experienced cost savings due to the software?
Have you or your company used any competing software in the past?
Any other insight that you would like to share?
Thank you, I greatly appreciate your help.

Im not sure on 5
I know it's unusual, but if your project budget is
good you may have more than one constructor. At least
that's what I thoughtach.. you poor fellow, you are confused now aren't you.
i bet taht in the fifth question they are talking about 'constructor methods', not procrammers who are constructing the code (or 'contractors')
if your budget allws then you may even have three or 87 contractors, but that's not the case here.
i hope that clarifies things a bit.
and PS! i don't like when people intentionally give bad solutions to others.
