Software Update Client Actions

Can someone please explain how the three cycles, Software Update Scan, Software Updates Deployment Evaluation, and Machine Policy Retrieval work in a normal software update deployment. The article http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682168.aspx has
a section for the Software Update Deployment Process but it doesn't say what cycle actually does what.

Yes they are different. Quoting the docs.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682067.aspx
Software Updates Deployment Evaluation Cycle: Evaluates the state of new and existing deployments and their associated software updates. This includes scanning for software updates compliance, but may not always catch scan results for the
latest updates. This is a forced online scan and requires that the WSUS server is available for this action to succeed.
Software Updates Scan Cycle: Scans for software updates compliance for updates that are new since the last scan. This action does not evaluate deployment policies as the
Software Updates Deployment Evaluation Cycle does. This is a forced online scan and requires that the WSUS server is available for this action to succeed.

  • Software updates - client behaviour

    I deployed SUP role and clients in test collection I deployed updates to got their updates. However I noticed two "weird" things on client machines (I am talking about test environment since I am learning SCCM 2012 R2):
    Update settings in Control Panel - Windows Update are not grayed-out (in production I have WSUS server and GPO pointing clients to WSUS and these settings are grayed-out - I do not have SCCM in production)
    In Software Center user has complete look at update process but e.g. if user picks some update that has been installed and requires restart, in lower-right corner there is button RESTART - I did not try but I assume user (me) could have pressed this
    button and in doing so installation of remaining updates would have been interrupted
    How to troubleshoot this? I took a look at software updates client settings and I did not notice any settings related to problems I depicted above. In my opinion update settings should have been grayed-out and RESTART button should not have been available before
    all updates are installed - then RESTART is inevitable action.

    Changes to those settings won't prevent the ConfigMgr client from triggering the WUA agent for the configured scans and installations. If you want to prevent access to those features you can use GPOs.
    For a nice blog series about software updates and GPOs, see the following links (it's written for ConfigMgr 2007, but still works the same in ConfigMgr 2012):

  • N97 Software update client always says "all applic...

    Could any one tell me why, since I updated to v 20, my Software update client always says “all applications are up-to-dated”?
    It was not important until now with Maps 3.3.
    I ma running v20.0.19, RM-505 Language set: Spain (05), unbranded
    Thanks

    Because all software ARE up to date on your phone. The n97 is not given the map 3.03 update. It will be available for the n97 via a firmware update which has just recently been released. If it is not available for your phone, then your product code must not yet be available for updating.
    @chanchan05 - Not sure regarding the map update... I have an N97 (not mini) and when I was checking for latest software updates, I received the map update on 28 Jan.... No official news from Nokia on FW 2.1...

  • Disable Software Updates client component

    I want to temporarily disable the Software Updates Agent component on a subset of 2012 R2 clients. 
    Based on the example of how to disble SWDist here: http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/rzander/archive/2008/08/11/sms-sccm-commandline.aspx and digging into WMI a little deeper I thought this might do the trick...
    WMIC /namespace:\\root\ccm\policy\machine\requestedconfig path CCM_SoftwareUpdatesClientConfig  CREATE ComponentName="SmsSoftwareUpdate",Enabled="false",LockSettings="TRUE",PolicySource="local",PolicyVersion="1.0"
    ,SiteSettingsKey="1" /NOINTERACTIVE
    I kept getting "ERROR: Description = Not Found". Although the namespace and class exist, I'm wondering if I'm missing a required property or something changed with 2012 or ... ?. 
    If anyone has experience doing this you're help would be greatly appreciated!

    Good catch, that explains it. After removing the LockSettings
    property it worked. Thank you Peter and Jason for the quick responses!
    To Disable SW Updates Agent Component:
    WMIC /namespace:\\root\ccm\policy\machine\requestedconfig path CCM_SoftwareUpdatesClientConfig CREATE ComponentName="SmsSoftwareUpdate",Enabled="false",PolicySource="local",PolicyVersion="1.0" ,SiteSettingsKey="1" /NOINTERACTIVE
    To Enable SW Update Agent component (reverse change):
    WMIC /namespace:\\root\ccm\policy\machine\requestedconfig path CCM_SoftwareUpdatesClientConfig WHERE (ComponentName="SmsSoftwareUpdate" AND Enabled="false" AND PolicySource="local" AND PolicyVersion="1.0") delete /NOINTERACTIVE

  • Software updates - Clients stuck in passed/Inactive, passed/Active

    I've deployed some software updates (an update group that has a deployment package of Windows Software Updates) to a small collection, but for the past couple days since I kicked off the deployment, all the assets in the collection are just
    sitting with either of these two statuses. 
    There's no maintenance window on this collection, and deployment schedule was set to "As Soon As Possible". 
    I've tried running Software Updates Deployment Evaluation and Software Updates Scan Cycles multiple times thoughout the day but the clients do not appear to be pulling down any updates yet. 
    What should I be checking for at this point? Or just wait a couple days?

    When it comes to maintenance windows, they just dont affect the clients that reside in the collection where the maintenance window is configured. If you have configured Coll1 to include all of your clients, and configured a maintenance window on
    that collection, if you then created Coll2 and added some of your clients to that, those clients would still get the configured maintenance window from Coll1. So check if you don't have any maintenance windows configured on another collection where you clients
    are members of.
    Nickolaj Andersen | www.scconfigmgr.com |
    @NickolajA
    To respond to this, I can say that I do not have any maintenance windows applied to this sub-collection, nor any other collections that the clients would be direct or indirect members of. 

  • How to Disable SCCM Software Updates on Client Workstations

    Hi,
    I have enabled Software Updates for all clients, to create a baseline for reporting. The intent was to then disable Software Updates via. SCCM Client Settings, so that our clients could continue receiving updates from Microsoft until we were ready to deploy
    updates to our clients.
    After modifying the SCCM Client Settings, the Software Update Cycles/actions removed from the Configuration Manager Client on the workstations, however the local policy on the workstation remained configured (did not revert back to Non-Configured).
    and the workstation is still looking to the SCCM for Windows Updates.
    Using SCCM, how do I get the workstations back to Microsoft for Windows/Microsoft Updates?
    TIA,
    Bill

    >I've read that you shouldn't mix SCCM and Group Policy for Windows Updates, when you're intending
    to use SCCM.
    Correct - if you are using Group Policy to manage the Windows Update settings, ConfigMgr will not be able to manage them.  You're post implied you did not want to manage updates with ConfigMgr.
    > not all of our workstations are on a domain; so that's not really a complete solution for
    us.
    ConfigMgr is designed to easily configure devices to update against ConfigMgr, not Microsoft Update, so there isn't just a check box for what you want.
    Consider using ConfigMgr Compliance Settings to manage the registry keys for the Windows Update settings you are looking for on your devices.
    I hope that helps,

  • Software Update Scan Cycle not found on Client computer.

    Hi,
    In my organization in some of the client PC's (Windows 7), Software update scan cycle is not found.
    When i checked the UpdateDeployment.log file on client computer it saying
    "Software Updates client configuration policy has not been received."
    "Software updates functionality will not be enabled until the configuration policy has been received. If this issue persists please check client/server policy communication."
    "Software Updates feature is disabled"
    Please help me to solve the issue. Let me know the solution if anyone faced the same problem.
    Thanks in Advance

  • Software Update Server not supplying updates

    Greetings All,
    I started a SUS on a running server. After configuring it I left it to download all the updates. The updates appear in the list displaying that they are copied and enabled. When I then "pointed" one of the local clients towards it and ran Software Update on the client machine it returned the message that there were no new updates relevant to the machine to be found on the server. Then I tried entering the path to the index file into Safari and it came up making me believe that there were no issues with the connection between the two machines. Since the server must be the problem I then tried this command on the server:
    +grep swupd /etc/swupd/com.apple.server.swupdate.plist > ~/Desktop/update.txt+
    When inspecting the update.txt file I noticed that it was completely empty. After consulting the manual yet again I looked into the /usr/shar/swupd/ directory and found that there were a vast quantity of data in the /html/content/downloads/ directory. After reading a few posts I decided to delete all this data and allow the server to download them again. Now the directory contains 15GB but the issue remains. A grep of com.apple.server.swupdate.plist still comes up empty.
    The only errors that I see in the log are these:
    [Mon Sep 28 10:29:28 2009] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down
    [Mon Sep 28 10:29:34 2009] [notice] Apache/1.3.41 (Darwin) configured -- resuming normal operations
    [Mon Sep 28 10:29:34 2009] [notice] Accept mutex: flock (Default: flock)
    Any ideas? Have I missed something very obvious?
    Thank you for your time and effort on this forum!

    I have been running Software Update Server since a few days after the Mac Mini Server came out. It really helps the other macs in my household get their updates fast - when it works.
    After "a while", the clients stop seeing updates - all at the same time. So, it's not a client problem. The thing that no one else has pointed out is that the "Your software is up to date." message on the client is abnormal.
    In a normal up-to-date client, the "*Your software is up to date.*" modal dialog rolls down from an empty list of updates.
    In this failure case, the modal dialog rolls down from the "*Software updates are available for your computer. Do you want to install them?*" window. This suggests (to me) that the Software Update client saw some indication that an update was available, but later decides not.
    Since this is hard to describe, I've taken a few pictures:

  • Software Updates Installed before deadline at begining of MW

    I'm confused on this.
    For years we've set up deployments with deadlines, say 8PM.
    The deployment option to ignore MW is not enabled. So the updates should only install at the deadline.
    We have MW that have lined up with the deadlines, 7:50PM to 10PM.
    This has worked flawlessly for us for years, or so we thought.
    Now, we've introduced new business sensitive servers to the patch windows.
    What someone noticed is that the updates are actually starting to install at the beginning of the MW, 7:50PM, and not at the deadline for the deployment, 8PM.
    I never noticed this. No one ever mentioned it before, but this was noticed that the updates were installing and rebooting, albeit, minutes before the deadline was to begin on the new servers.
    Review of the logs surely shows that the updates are beginning to install at the start of the MW, not the deadline.
    I know I can change the MW to begin at 8PM, but why is this happening?
    We only ever have 1 deployment. We just update it with new updates every month.
    I am wondering if the Software Updates Client Agent Update Installation tab has something to do with this.
    I don't understand the setting "Enforce all mandatory deployments"
    We have this configured for 1 day. Not even sure why I have this enabled.
    I've read the help on it but do not understand.
    Is this causing the updates to begin installing at the beginning of the MW, before the deadline of the deployment?

    What's your evidence for the above behavior as it is not expected nor by design behavior? Also, dates and days are important here as deadline are not just specific to a time but also a date and MWs are specific to days (assuming a recurrence pattern).
    Are you modifying the deadline every month also or is it in the past?
    The Enforce all mandatory deployments settings effectively combines all update deployments that have deadlines within the given time frame so that they are installed together limiting the impact on the system and/or end-user to a single series of update
    installations and a single reboot.

  • Software update problem : updates not found on 8088

    Hello,
    I recently found that when I performed an update on my clients they always reported Up to date. I then made them point to Apple's software update and they found that Itunes and a performance update was necessary.
    So I tried to find what was wrong. My server seems to have downloaded all the latest updates (including ITunes and the performance update).
    I disabled SoftwareUpdate and reenabled it.
    Now my clients can't even connect to my Software Update server : the bar stays fix for a really long time.
    When I look at the logs from my server : I see that a few products can't be downloaded :
    Product 061-7024 will not be available for installation.
    Unable to download or create .smd file for product
    But maybe the main problem is that when I try to contact http://myserver:8088/
    I dont see anything and when I try http://myserver:8088/index.sucatalog it begins to open the file but displays only the file's beginning. It keeps downloading the rest of the file really slowly (I think that's what makes the bar stays fix when I try to update).
    Any clue ?
    p.a

    Hello again,
    After a few more tests, I noted this.
    Before restarting Software update, new updates weren't visible to clients.
    After restarting Software update : Clients unable to connect to Software Update Server : bar stays fix for a very long time. In fact it appears to be a really slow connection to the server. After a few minutes the available updates appear (ITunes and Performance update). If I click to install them. Downloading begins but it's very slow 1k/s approximately.
    I tried to untick Bandwidth limitation that was set to 1Mo/s. And after restarting Software Update, surprise : my clients can connect to SUS, see the new updates and download them at LAN speed.
    Why did it work before ?
    I tried to reset Bandwidth limitation to 1024k/s to see if it makes any difference. Yes when it's set, SUS doesn't work.
    So really painful to work with this, almost no options to fine tune the update server and it's better to let all to defaults to avoid problems it seems.

  • Software Update SSL and Leopard Clinets

    Hello all,
    My apologies if this has been reported elsewhere, but I can't find anything.
    I have two problems with Software Update on my Snow Leopard Server.
    Problem number One (the more minor one),
    When the web service is running and SSL is enabled (all be it with a self signed certificate) the software update clients won't connect (Software Update Enabler won't even verify the server when settings). As soon as I turn the SSL website off then there isn't a problem, clients connect to the server without issue.
    Problem number Two, which is the MAJOR one!
    10.5 Leopard clients connect to the server, but when checking for updates report quickly that my software is up to date (which on a Mac OS 10.5.2 machine is a big porky). A quick look on the Software Updates pane in Server Admin shows that there are no updates (bar I think a Java update) for Mac OS 10.5. I can see 10.4 and 10.6 updates ok, but I don't have any 10.4 or 10.6 clients here to test it. The other strange thing that I have seen reported elsewhere is that on the overview page it states that there are 297 updates downloaded and enabled, but on the update lists it says that there are only 185 updates.
    I have reset and reset the software update server clearing out the data folders etc and made it download them from scratch, but it just won't play ball. I have pointed Safari to http://softwareupdate.domainname.com:8088/index-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog and you can see the file (pages upon pages of text) 99% of which makes no sense to me.
    These servers are suppose to be going onsite next Monday and I would really like to have the software update server working!
    The system is two Intel xServes (one 8 Core Machine and one Quad Core Machine).
    The offending software update server is running on the Quad Core Machine which also handles email services and is an Open Directory Replica.
    The main server (the 8 Core Machine) is the open directory master. Both servers are running fully up to date Snow Leopard (10.6.2) with all the sub updates (except maybe an iTunes update).
    Any help or fresh ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Regarding problem number one (SSL), I am completely confused by the claim. SUS runs its own web service instance on a separate port. Each client pointing to that SUS should have an OS-specific URL as noted in p.89 of the admin guide:
    http://images.apple.com/server/macosx/docs/SystemImaging_and_SW_Update_Adminv10.6.pdf
    Do you have any interesting log information that may help diagnose your issue?
    Regarding problem two, as noted, 10.6.3 addressed a number of the issues, and as long as the clients are properly configured, they should see relevant updates. As noted above, the difference in update count is a side effect of the two views: the overview pane shows all individual packages downloaded, while the package list counts the number of separate update "clumps" (for lack of a better word).

  • Software Updates Won't Download - EnumerateUpdates for action (UpdateActionInstall) - Total actionable updates = 0

    I have a new software updates deployment. I see there are updates that are required on a few clients. The clients work fine with a software package/application, as they download fine with no problems, so it's not a boundary issue. But I can't get the software
    updates to work. I keep seeing in updatedeployment.log total actionable updates = 0 even though right above that it is clearly finding new updates.

    Anyone have any update to this scenario?
    I did a site recovery to new hardware, and subsequently new WSUS version for Server 2012, and am having issues with deploying software updates.  Like the OP above I can deploy applications and packages with no issues.
    I've deleted the software update group, recreated and deployed to a collection with machines that do not have these updates installed, since they are this months newest updates.
    In the UpdatesDeployment.log I see the following logged:
    Software Updates feature is enabled    UpdatesDeploymentAgent    10/16/2013 4:42:58 PM    7288 (0x1C78)

    So it's like it sees the deployment but is not evaluating that it needs the updates.  I'm at a loss of where to look next so if anyone can provide any additional suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.

    It's most likely caused by a client agent setting called "Agent extensions manage the deployment of applications and software updates", see
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682067.aspx#BKMK_ComputerAgentDeviceSettings. It has to be set to "disabled" if you are not using any third party software that plugs into ConfigMgr.

  • Software update scan cycle not pushed out to new clients

    I have a very odd problem that I'm not fully understanding why it is happening.  I have my SCCM server pushing out updates to my clients and it works just fine.  The issue happens when I push out SCCM to a new client.  Heres what happens as
    far as updates go when I push SCCM out to a new client:
    -Push out SCCM to client
    -Client suddenly starts looking to Microsoft for Windows Updates
    The only way I can get it to change its policy to look to my WSUS/SCCM server is to manually run the "Software updates scan cycle" job on the client.  As soon as I do that then the clients Updates show it is manged by the systems admin, which
    is what I want.
    My question is why is this policy not pushed out by default as soon as I push out a new client?  I shouldn't have to wait 7 days for the client to look back at the software policy before it updates because by then its already downloaded 100 new updates
    from Microsoft, which I don't want.  Does anyone else know how to fix this?  Hopefully it all makes sense.

    Yeah I tried to build my own custom client settings package and push it out with the client, but it still didn't change anything.  I can get on the client before I push out the SCCM client to it and look at gpedit.msc and go to Comp Config > Admin
    Temp > Windows Components > Windows Update > and it shows all fields are set to "Not Configured."  Once I push the SCCM client to the client I can go back to that same location and check and all the fields are still set to "Not
    configured."  But when I manually go into that clients control panel and select Configuration manager > Actions tab > Software updates scan cycle > Run now, I can then go back into the gpedit and under windows Update the Specify intranet
    Microsoft update service location will then have the FQDN of my SCCM/WSUS server in there so it works then, but for some reason its not doing that part automatically.

  • 10.5.8 Server Software Update Server and 10.6.4 clients getting error

    I’m running Software Update Server on an Intel XServe 10.5.8 OS.
    When I try to run software update from 10.6.4 client I get the following error:
    +The Software Update Server (su.MYSERVERNAME.org) is not responding.+
    +Check to make sure your network connection is operating normally. If there are no issues with your connection, contact your network administrator for assistance.+
    In Workgroup Manager I’ve set up 3 groups: Tiger Clients, Leopard Clients, and Snow Leopard Clients.
    In Workgroup manager I’ve set each groups SUS to the corresponding sucatalog.
    Tiger Clients
    'http://su.MYSERVERNAME.org:8088/index.sucatalog'
    Leopard Clients
    'http://su.biggerhammer.org:8088/index-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog'
    Snow Leopard Clients
    'http://su.MYSERVERNAME.org:8088/index-leopard-snowleopard.merged-1.sucatalog'
    I’ve read multiple threads trying to sort this out.
    I’ve set each group up according to the managed clients instructions in this article. I’m led to believe this should work with 10.5.8 as well.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4069
    Any ideas where this is going wrong?
    Or are there any additional steps needed to tell the 10.5.8 server how to serve to 10.6.4 SU clients?
    Thanks!

    I have seen this behavior when trying to modify the default certificate. It will not allow the key length to changed from 1024 to 2048. However, when creating a completely new certificate I have never had this issue.
