Software Update Deployment Package

I've noticed that when my ADRs are running and utilizing an existing software deployment package, they are not distributing deltas. Each time, it is distributing the entire package over. Am I missing a setting somewhere? I've looked for
BDR settings in the package settings but haven't seen anything on it.
Best, Jacob I'm a PC.

Since no one has answer this post, I recommend opening a support case with CSS as they can work with you to solve this problem.

Generate every hour event 2331 for each DP after Software update Deployment Package deletion

We have an organization build on SCCM 2012 R2 with 270 DPs configured with DP Pulls function. The centralized point contains DP sources available for all DP Pull.
We have some problems with Windows Update deployment package, and we decide to delete them. We first remove them from all DPs. After more than a month we delete the deployment package. From this day, we see that the SMS_Distribution_Manager service generate
every hour logs for contacting each of the 270 DPs to ask them for deleting the package.
Remark: At the time we run the delete, some of the DPs were not connected. After 3 weeks all of them were connected. A month later, the SMS_Distribution_Manager
generate always these events every hour.
Each DP responds with a 2331 event that seems OK. Every hour the system begin with two events (2301 and then 2300 for this package, after a 2331 for each
DP). All these events are also present in the application log of the Event Viewer. After the last DP connection that respond with 2331 event, there are no event that generalize a task for the package to definitively remove it from the database.
Could anyone help me to correct the system?

There are no error messages. There are only messages generated in Distribution_manager logs and Event Viewer, showing us server processing and network activity on package that was deleted over 40 days, and that happened every hours. The Microsoft support
give us directives to delete orphan records in 4 tables
pkgServers_L,pkgServers_G,PkgStatus_L,PkgStatus_G)
At this time the correction has positive effect.

Software Update Deployment Packages won't distribute to DPs in ConfMgr 2012 R2

After updating System Center 2012 Configuration Manager to R2 we have problems distributing SU Deployment Packages to the distribution point. Some packages work on some DPs, others do not work at all. We are not able to find any pattern.
The Site Server and all DPs run on Windows Server 2008 R2 and the log entries in the smsdpprov.log look always like this:

The virus scanner (SCEP) realtime protection has been disabled. No backup agent or anything else is running.
We remove the packages from the DPs, waited until there was no activity in the log files, started distributing to single server, same result.
The DPs worked fine with ConfMgr 2012 and ConfMgr 2012 SP1.
I also looks as if the problem is isolated to SU Packages and does not happen for Applications or Packages.
Does anyone, have any idea?
Thank you

Hi,
I already gave Full Permission to everyone to no Change.
I set up a new DP yesterday afternoon. Brandnew Windows Server 2012 R2, nothing on it and I am getting the same Errors (0x800700b7) for every update in the package:

Change Software Updates deployment priority

Hi
We use SCCM 2012 R2 CU2.
whenever a new client is being installed and registered it gets its policies and deployments.
our problem is that there are many software updates that being deployed and it takes a very long time until they finish their installation.
while what is more important for us is the clients to get software deployments
before the software updates.
I know I can change packages priority but as I understand - it only changes the priority between the software packages.
is there any way to make the software deployments to be installed before the software updates for new clients?
even if there's no build-in solution, I'd be happy to get a friendly workaround.
I thought about auto-adding the clients to a software update deployment collection only after all the packages are being deployed, but maybe some of you can come up with something better
thanks!

You can't prioritize in policy for a client. The first policy that arrives is the first that's being served..
If you're talking about the first thing after the OS deployment, then I would try to update my clients completely during the deployment already. That would solve your problem already. In that same scenario, you could also think about installing
computer or user targetted applications during the task sequence. For examples about both scenario's see:
Computer-targeted:
http://www.petervanderwoude.nl/post/install-computer-targeted-application-during-os-deployment-via-powershell-and-configmgr-2012/;
User-targeted:
http://www.petervanderwoude.nl/post/install-user-targeted-applications-during-os-deployment-via-powershell-and-configmgr-2012/.
If you're not talking about an OS deployment, your only option is indeed to add the clients later to the software update collection(s). In that case you could also try to automate it via PowerShell by using the
Add-CMDeviceCollectionDirectMembershipRule.

SCCM - software updates deployment.

Hi All,
i have adobe acrobat version 10.1.10 installed on my mahcine, when ever i am trying to up deploy an Adobe acrobat 10.1.13 for my machine using but its not gettin updated. Also , one thing that i have seen is even after deployment it is not showing up under
deployment package.
Can anyone help on this, Iam using shavlik higher version of SCUP with SCCM to achieve this.
Rsg,

Hi,
You could troubleshoot software updates deployment by checking logs.
UpdatesDeployment.log
UpdatesHandler.log
WUAHandler.log
%windir%\WindowsUpdate.log

Orphaned software update deployment on child site management point

Hi
It would appear that we have an orphaned software update deployment still active on our child site management point but is obviously locked due to it's creation on the primary site. It was deleted from the primary site along with package from the DPs
and these are no longer present. The issue is that the deployment is still active and clients are pulling the selected software updates from it although they are not getting them as they are no longer on the DPs.
I know that you can take ownership of orphaned packages from the database but can this be done on Software Update deployments?
If anyone has experienced this issue or knows of a resolve I would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance

How to troubleshoot Software Update Deployment Errors

Hi Guys,
Could you guys please help me to troubleshoot 'Software Update Deployment Errors'. I have been trying to troubleshoot the below mentioned errors but I am not sure what step should I take for each different errors.
Could you guys please help me stating what kind of troubleshooting steps should we take for such update deployment errors.
Many Thanks,
Chandan

You would have to examine client-side logs like UpdatesDeployment.log, U*.log in general, ScanAgent.log, WUAHandler.log, WindowsUpdate.log and CI*.log.

How to calculate the compliance for an software update deployment

Hi All,
I am trying to find as how do we calculate the compliance for an software update deployment.
Scenario, We have about 4000 machine in the domain. but we have some stale records in the domain which is about 1200. The AD cleanup for the stale records is planned for sometime in March.
So total number of machines in a collection (including the stale machines) are 5200.
The current compliance of that deployment shows the following status:
Complaint : 1156
In Progress : 1724
Error : 38
Unknown : 2462
And in the unknown, we have :
Client check failed/Active: 2
Client check failed/Inactive: 6
Client check passed/Active: 732
Client check passed/Inactive: 1722
Can you please suggest in understanding the formula that should be followed to get the compliance.

Your Compliancy, should be based solely off of the number of computers within CM12.
There are no “if”, “and” or “but” able it. This is the only way to truly and reliably provide numbers to management.
Again it should be very simple calculation:
(Total outstanding Security SU, Total outstanding
Critical SU, Total outstand Service packs, Total outstand Update Rollups, Total outstand Updates, Total outstand Definition Updates, Total outstand tools, Total outstand Feature packs) Vs Total applied SU (all Classifications)
Or
Total # of 100% patched PCs vs Total # of PCs as seen by CM12.
If you use any other calculation then you MUST include a disclaimer that you are filtering out computers because they might be invalid. Or you MUST define exactly how you are calculating the number. Therefore any compliancy rate that your calculate maybe
invalid too or at least it will change once you clean up AD.
I will never hide low compliancy numbers to management, I will always show it to them.
In many case I will ask to give a presentation to Management to explain why the numbers are so low.
Provide them with a list of action items that need to be done in order to bring up the number to more reasonable level. I also set their expectation on what a reasonable level is.
100% is unachievable; there is no exception to this!
95-99% Very excellent but expect to spend lots of $$$s to obtain these percentages.
90-95% is really, really, good; expect to spend $$s in this range.
85-89% is good; expect to set strict procedures
81-84 is ok but you could do better
Below 80% is bad
In your case, I would start by saying AD is dirty and need to be clean up, this has been schedule for March 2015. I would follow up this to say, in order to keep AD clean the follow procedures need to be define / updated / followed. You should also define
exactly what you are doing to ensure that all computers are management by CM12.
IMO these is no simple answer of this.

Windows Update Agent rebooting systems after Software Update deployment

I have a software update deployment that is configured to install software updates on a collection of servers at 4:00 AM with a suppressed reboot. The updates get deployed and no reboot occurs as expected. Then ~8 hours later WUA starts up and the
servers get rebooted.
There is a maintenance window applied to the collection from 4:00 AM to 6:00 AM to allow the updates to install.

I'm not sure what is going on, but can anyone tell me why a software updates deployment would all of a sudden show all computers as having an "Unknown" status? Previously, most computers were "Compliant" and there were a couple
with errors. When I went to check it (about a week after the original deployment), I found it had reset all to "Unknown" status. This was yesterday, and now today there are a couple computers showing "Compliant" but most are
still "Unknown". It is not set up with ADR, so it's not (at least I don't think) looking for newer updates. Any ideas?

A re-evaluation of the software update deployment, which you configure in the client settings, can cause this behavior. That's why you should always use the reports for compliance checks and not the deployments node.

Software Updates Deployment Evaluation.

Hi,
I would like to get some clarification around the Software Updates Deployment Eval. cycle. (SCCM R2 CU3)
Example scenario:
I have a Software Update Group that contains 200 updates. This SUG includes updates that are prerequisites for other updates in the same SUG. So, when scanning occurs. Only one of these updates are at that particular time considered applicable.
The software update deployment deadline is reached. The update is installed, as expected. The then agent reports compliance against the update deployment.
Then comes the Software Update Scan schedule, when a new scan is made against the SUP more updates are now detected as required because of the previously installed update - from the same SUG which are deployed.
This leaves me in a situation where the agent is compliant against the Software Update deployment and non-compliant in regards to the actual Software Update Group.
I can of course just hit the schedule for Software Update Deployment Evaluation manually on the agent or simply do something (adding an update or whatever) that modifies the actual software updates deployment policy. This would in turn cause a new evaluation
to occur at the client.
Bottom line. Is my conclusion correct or have i missed something here?
If i'm correct, a good thing would be to add scheduling options available for the actual "software update deployment evaluation".
That would really come in handy in situations like above scenario.

The next scheduled scan cycle will pick up the newly applicable but non-compliant updates in the deployment.
However, note that update compliance at the client level is done against the entire update catalog as this is actually done by the Windows Update Agent (WUA) which knows nothing about ConfigMgr. Thus, the fact that an update is in a deployment or not is
completely irrelevant as far as compliance and compliance reporting goes (which is part of the reason why compliance reporting in ConfigMgr is tricky).
Updating the policy of an update deployment will kick off a scan cycle (just like creating a new deployment will) on the clients which is why you are probably seeing this behavior as addressing the scenario.

Thanks Jason,
What you are describing exactly matches the point I’m trying to make here. There is no correlation what so ever between update scans and actual software update deployments. The logic just isn't there. Which is a logic that is lacking
– in my opinion.
I really do think there is room for improvement here.
Case:
A customer wants to minimize the spread of reboots (a maint. window overnight should be sufficient for the agent to get the server fully up to date). The admin – who also wants to minimize effort in regards to worrying about MS bundling\prereq
requirements – simply wants it all to be taken care of by the updates deployment agent.
Example:
Software update deployment contains required updates as well as updates that will not be detected as required - until the deployment has been run – and a new update scan cycle has taken place.
The server reboots and updates deployment agent says all is fine – with regards to the deployment in it's current state, of course.
But it's not.
The server then issues a new scan (maybe 4 hours later and way behind the end of the maint. window) according to the software updates scan schedule, and suddenly 10 more updates are applicable, but still within the same deployment.
What happens? Nothing, sadly. Next maint. window? Nothing.
Not even a (client agent set – and scheduled) software update deployment re-eval takes care of this since – according to my findings – the deployment will never really be evaluated against again without administrative intervention.
Suggestion:
Whenever a software update deployment has been run, succeeded and passed the "after reboot" detectjob. Initiate a new evaluation of this deployment in full – of course including a pre-eval software updates scan. Just add
a few steps to the logic of updates deployment.
Evaluate.
Apply.
Initiate a new scan.
Re-Evaluate.
Apply again (if needed)
Reboot
Initiate a new scan.
Re-evaluate
Isn’t this the way WAUA has always worked? Why shouldn’t this method be adopted here as well? Why should ConfigMgr not honour the procedure?
Result:
Administrative relieve. Since I know that a software update deployment will always do the job, in full. No need for manual triggers or policy modifications.
Caveats:
I do realize the fact that – if this would be the scenario - the admin sometimes will not be aware of what might happen during the nightly maint. window since he cannot solely rely on compliance data.
Anyways:
This should at least be a deployment option in future releases.
"Force rescan and deployment re-evaluation after first run." Simple.
Would make life easier and keep the spread of reboots concentrated to one night and to a minimum. (Given the appropriate length of maint. windows of course)
Consider things like KB2919355 and how WUAU agent handles that against Windows Update.

Can windows 8 be upgraded to 8.1 through CM 2012 Software Updates deployment?

Hi,
Can windows 8 be upgraded to 8.1 through CM 2012 Software Updates deployment rather than having it downloaded through Windows Store?

The update is not available via software updates. However, if you are doing multiple updates, you can bypass the Windows Store.

Software update error - Package Authoring: my.result.title ...

Hi,
I updated three SL servers to 10.6.7 and now install.log in all three systems are filled with an error message "Package Authoring: my.result.title and my.result.message not defined or empty". And when checking for new software updates using Server Admin - Server Updates the following error also written into the install log file: Software Update[]: Can't load distribution from (null): Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1000 UserInfo=0x1001805d0 "bad URL" Underlying Error=(Error Domain=kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork Code=-1000 UserInfo=0x100637640 "bad URL")
Has anybody seen this before?
Searching for ideas to fix this problem.
Best Regards, Heimo

On one of my MacMini Server 10.6.7
I'm also seeing a string of these entries in my machines.
5/17/11 5:59:25 AM Software Update[30234] Package Authoring: my.result.title and my.result.message not defined or empty
Typically I get about 25 of them in a block and then
5/17/11 5:59:28 AM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.suhelperd[30235]) Exited with exit code: 2
All in about 10 seconds.
This happens once a day at about the same time...
This is a not so busy MacMini Server that is providing Software Updates to clients ...
I also appear to see this on the client side of a SnowLeopard Clients....
so perhaps it is not a server error at all... But it does appear to be Software Update related.... In my case, I have an internal, local Software Update Server.

How to find who modified Software Update deployment in sccm 2012

Hi,
How to find who modified(Date & Time) software update deployment in SCCM 2012 ?

In the Console :
Monitoring / System Status / Status Message Query
Right Click : "Deployments Created, Modified, or Deleted" - Show Message and select your period.
You'll have your information there.

Configuring computer restarts after software update deployment deadlines

I am currently testing in my environment and running pilot deployments at different sites and the way I am doing it is I create deadlines for my test workstations at each site on the Friday following Patch Tuesday at 6PM along with a restart. The problem
with this though is that if a user takes their laptop home with them, or a workstation is powered down during the deadline, then the next time a workstation comes back online the system will get the notice to restart.
I know I can suppress restarts, but that will lower the compliance rate and I really do not want to use maintenance windows for workstations, because I want to reserve maintenance windows for servers only.
How do you SCCM MVPs and other SCCM gurus go about doing something like this?
Thanks

I suppress all reboots for patches . I have a DCM rule that detects if a machine is in a pending reboot status. I build a collection of machines with that pending reboot status DCM rule. The package refreshes at 2:45AM each day.
I have a recurring package deployed to the "pending reboot" collection that runs at 3:00AM every day with WOL. The package checks to see if the machine is still in pending reboot state. The package checks to see if the time is
between 3:00AM and 3:30AM. If the machine still needs a reboot and it is between 3:00AM and 3:30AM, then the package notifies the user that the machine needs a reboot with a 30 minute countdown. The user can cancel during the countdown. If the
user doesn't cancel the machine reboots at the end of the timer.
If the program is run outside of 3:00AM - 3:30AM, the user is notified that a reboot is necessary, but it does't require a reboot.
This works pretty good. The user gets nagged by Software Updates that a reboot is required, so they can reboot on their own (and that clears the computer from the reboot collection when the DCM rule refreshes.) If they ignore the reboot, then
machines that are WOLable or on 24x7 reboot at 3:00AM. Machines like laptops, the user just gets nagged to death about rebooting, but avoids the real problem of a laptop getting turned on just before a presentation and the user getting forced to reboot
in front of a crowd of hundreds. I feel like you should never ever reboot an end users computer without giving them a chance to say no. The downside is that most other software deployments will fail when a machine is in a pending reboot state -
so you want to get out of that situation as soon as possible.
There are a lot of reasons why maintenance windows are impractical. They are pretty good for servers and other computers that are on 24x7, but are not too good for computers that sleep, and are almost useless for laptops.
