Script to report on clients that are not up to date with softwareupdate

I'm not sure how to do it yet. I just need a script that I can run on multiple computers that will tell me what machines require updates and the number of updates. I considered doing something along the lines of:
<code>softwareupdate --list |wc -l </code>
but that does not seem to be fool proof since there are obviously lines of output regardless of whether there are updates or not. I just need to get back the number of patches missing from unpatched machines. We have our own SUS, so the only updates being pulled should already be approved.
Please help.
Thanks!

Actually this is exactly what I need, a script that will read the output of softwareupdate --list and count the asterisks and return with a number of how many there were. If there were no asterisks then it can skip that machine.

Generating a report for clients that are not registered

Hi - Hopefully someone can assist. We are looking to generate a report in SCCM 2012 that will tell us if a client is properly registered, and most recent scan.
I can't seem to find a generic report for this task, so does anyone know if one exists - or how to create a custom one?
Thanks!

what means "properly registered" in your eyes? To me, if it was able to communicate at all--heartbeat; that means it had to have registered. But maybe you have a different criterion.
So I think what you want is simply something like...
select s.Netbios_Name0, max(disc.AgentTime) as LastHeartbeat
from v_r_system s
left join v_agentDiscoveries disc on s.resourceid=disc.resourceid
and disc.AgentName = 'Heartbeat Discovery'
Group by s.Netbios_Name0
order by LastHeartbeat desc
where the most recent heartbeat at the top; and boxes with no heartbeat reported will be null at the bottom. If you don't want to even "see" the boxes that have never reported a heartbeat successfully, then don't left join, use just Join
You could also use v_r_system_valid, instead of v_r_system. As you can tell by the name, _valid means that CM itself has determined those are valid clients; so that might be what you think of as "properly registered".
It all boils down to what means "properly registered" to you, and what you mean by "recent scan". is a recent scan a heartbeat? a software update scan? hardware inventory reported? and what means "recent". the sample above is
reporting on anything and everything regardless of date.
As for default reports, you're saying that the default reports in "Client Status" don't fit your criteria?

The movie trailers via AppleTV are not up-to-date with trailers on Apple's web site... why?

I love my Apple TV. I have no problems using it whatsoever. There's just this one issue.
The movie trailers I see on AppleTV are not up-to-date with the movie trailers on Apple's web site. I'm hoping there is a user tweek that would resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers,
Adam

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I don't believe the trailers are from the same source, which would explain why they are not necessarily the same.

HT1386 if i let it automaticlly sync, does it delete al the things i have on my iphone who are not up to date with itunes?

if i let it automaticlly sync, does it delete al the things i have on my iphone who are not up to date with itunes?

That is a different question. So, do you mean you are using a new computer with iTunes to sync? I'm presuming that is what you mean if you just downloaded iTunes?
If so, then the following support article will help you get your purchased items into the new iTunes library:

To transfer items that were not purchased through iTunes you will need a 3rd party software to do so. Do a Google search so you can review the options and select one to use.

Organizing photos that are not in proper date sequence

Is there an easy way to re-organize photos that are not in the proper date sequence? Do I eventually have to do each photo manually?
Thanks

You can drag them into the sequence you prefer in an Album (but not in an Event).
You can correct the time using the Photos -> Adjust Date and Time Command

Calculate Results As Average of Detailed Values That Are Not Zero... with hiearchies doesn't work

Hi all,
For the key figures, the option of "Calculate Results As Average of Detailed Values That Are Not Zero, Null, or Error" works fine for characteristics drilldown without hierarchies, but with hierarchies it simply doesn't work; instead of calculate the overall result as average, the system calculates it as SUM. It works like the option "Nothing Defined" where the results provided by the analytic engine are displayed. No local calculation takes place.
How can I do to display the overall result of hierarchical drilldown of a characteristic as an average?
Many thanks in advance!
Abraham

It is usually best to just keep it as simple as possible. What do you think the code in the OR Array Elements does? I imagine it is just a simple FOR loop with a variable to keep the latest OR. So I would do what GerdW just showed with the FOR loop.

Script to replace small caps that are typed as capital letters with non-capital letters (A = a, B = b, etc...)

I'm looking for a way to replace small caps that are typed as capitals by their normal equivalent.
I've got a text that contains a lot of names which should all be set in small caps.
In fact they are, but because capital letters are used for first letters they don't scale.
Short: I would like to be able to look for A, B, C... (in small caps) and replace them with (a, b, c...) in small caps in one go.
(compare two arrays?? -> is this possible in indesign scripting)

Hi,
Actually, it works only with OpenType fonts and - in this case - can be managed by UI find...change feature.
With other type of font we need a real change of contents (another keyboard hit).
It could be done with this code (activeDocument is a target):
-- works for Open Type as well --
// For Latin Basic (ASCII from 65 to 90)
// changes a "cap" letter to a "small" letter
// if Capitalization.SMALL_CAPS is applied to
app.findGrepPreferences = app.findGrepPreferences = null;
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "\\u";
app.findGrepPreferences.capitalization = Capitalization.SMALL_CAPS;
var
mSTART = 65, // ASCII number for "A"
Mstart = 97, // ASCII number for "a"
mDiff = 0,
mTarget = app.activeDocument,
mFound = mTarget.findGrep(),
len = mFound.length, cString;
while (len-->0) {
cString = mFound[len].contents;
mDiff = cString.charCodeAt(0) - mSTART;
if (mDiff > -1 && mDiff < 26)
mFound[len].contents = String.fromCharCode( Mstart + mDiff );
app.findGrepPreferences = app.findGrepPreferences = null;

Features that are not supported by Excel in the browser and interactive reports will be removed from the saved copy

I Created a power view in Excel 2013 and uploaded to my Power BI for o365 site.
But when i click on my excel file it opens in browser,After that i click on File tab its showing me two option
1. Save a Copy
2.Download a copy
When i click on save a copy its showing me an warning below
Features that are not supported by Excel in the browser and interactive reports will be removed from the saved copy.
Continue with Save?
If i continue saving it only saves an excel files with data only not the power view which i want to save with applied filters.
Please help me for this

Just to clarify, when you hit the option of Save As Copy, the whole experience goes into a "read-write" mode in Excel services, which currently doesn't support authoring, just consumption of PowerView sheets.
Two mitigations that come to mind:
1. Download the copy (as Brad suggests), rename the file and upload.
2. Use the send to option of SharePoint online, give the file the right target document library (can be the same as source) and rename the file:

Can SCCM Poll a subnet to determine PC's that are NOT in any collections in SCCM?

What I would like to know is if SCCM can scan a subnet for PC's that it does not have in any of its collections. I would say we have 50 PC's that are reporting into SCCM but another 50 that are NOT reporting to SCCM. I want to get SCCM to find the latter
50 PC's scan them and add them to a device collection. Is this possible to do without manually entering all 50 PC's?
Also if a device collection was deleted will the SCCM server be able to still find the clients that did report to it or would the clients have to manually be re added to the SCCM server?
Sorry if I am lacking any detail I am very new to this venue and I can provide more information when I receive some feedback.
Thank you in advance
Bryan

ConfigMgr cannot and does not "scan" subnets. There's AD discovery which can add computer (or user) resources to the CM database.
Collections have nothing to do with all that. They are just there for grouping resources (in order to deploy software to them etc). Just deleting a collection will not automatically remove the resources that are member of it (unless you select to do so) - so
it does not stop the client agents to function.

How to view songs that are not in any playlist

I am using iTunes 6.04.
I want to be able to view songs in my Library that are not associated with ANY playlist. How can this be done? Please don't suggest to me upgrading to iTunes 7.02. (with every iTunes update, Apple makes is more difficult to do the things Apple doesn't want you to be able to do).
Thanks
Ben

Please be patient. If you don't get a reply within a few hours, obviously nobody passed by who knew the answer to your question.
After all we're just fellow users trying to help as these are user-to-user forums.
I have an answer.
Run one of these scripts:
Not In Any Playlist will create a text listing of songs that are not in any playlist.
Not In Any Playlist To Playlist will put songs that are not in any playlist into a new playlist.
Hope this helps.

How do I include those empployee numbers that are not 8 digits?

I would like to use the TRIM Function here rather than a simple LPAD (with hard coded length) especially if the length of the column std_employee number varies based on the leading zeroes. Something like:

Script to know how many statements are not loaded in oracle CM

Hi,
Can some one would help me on how to prepare a script to know the bank statements are not loaded into oracle CM and how many checks under that particular statement are not loaded??
I have the following info with me..
1. The statements are loaded in a temporary table as soon as we run statement loader program.
2. Then the records will get into ce_statement_headers_int_all and ce_statement_lines_interface.
3. Then they will get loaded into ce_statement_headers_all and ce_statement_lines tables.
Now, the only thing i am confused is how to get to know the statements list that are not loaded into oracle along with the error message. i am confused which tables will give the exact info ce_statement_headers_int_all and ce_statement_lines_interface or ce_headers_interface_errors and ce_lines_interface_errors??? immediate help would be highly appreciated and its very urgent...........
Thanks.

Hi Helios,
I dint get you. This is not something which SR can be raised. I need to know how script can be written to know the statements that are not loaded in oracle cash management. I need to prepare a notification where in that should contain how many statements have been loaded successfully and how many are not on a daily basis...
Thanks.

How can I download my past purchases that are not in my icloud? Somehow I lost songs that I purchased they say that the orginal files are gone but I did not delete them

How can I download past purchases that are not in my icloud? Somehow I lost songs it says that the orginal files can not be located. They are still available in the store but it doesn't give me the option to download them. I did not delete any songs or files but I am missing a lot of files

The "missing file" error happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed the files then the chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies will make it hard to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is expecting. In such cases, as long as the missing files can be found somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.
If you have to resort to trying to pull back the library from your iPod see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
Note also that if iTunes has an entry for a song, even if that entry is broken, then it won't offer that track for download since it "thinks" you already have it. If you can't find the original files or recover them from a device, then you may need to delete the broken entries, close iTunes and reopen before you can access the past purchases.
