Software Update replication for enterprise

Has anyone got an enterprise solution for the following:
An enterprise has multiple locations, and a Software Update Server (SUS) in each location. Rather than updating each SUS manually, we would like to update one SUS and propagate the changes down to the other SUSes.
So far my thoughts are:
1. rsync the /usr/share/swupd/html/ directory from the "parent" SUS to the "child" SUSes
2. Export the SUS service settings from Server Admin on the "parent" and import them on the "children". Would this cause the children to download any missing updates?

Hi again, it points the secondary at the primary and replicates it.
more from the same chapter
"Once the secondary Software Update server has downloaded the new catalog from your
primary server, you’ll see that the secondary server has access only to the updates you
choose to make available from the primary server."
Is that what you want it to do?
Cheers

  • 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.

  • 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
    http://www.scom2k7.com/scom-2012-maintenance-mode-scheduler/?
    /SaiTech

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

  • Software Update Checks for Updates at Start Up Even When Off

    I had problems with Software Update struggling to updating my Macbook's firmware (I solved it by updating the firmware outside of Software Update with Installer), I am now having problems with Software Update.
    Software Update checks for updates everytime I start up my computer - even when I have Software Update checks turned off in System Preferences. Is there a way to correct this?

    I, too, am having this same problem. However, I'll need a little patience from everyone. The last Mac I used was an SE30 and now about 15-18 years later I have 3 PC desktops and 3 PC laptops in my house. But... I'm exploring getting back to Mac and have a MacBook Pro that's exactly 10 days old. No problems until 2 days ago and now every time I boot, the little software update icon is bouncing on my Dock. It searches and then tells me there are no updates to install. Pretty annoying having it do this every start up. I've checked apple>system preferences>software update and unchecked it (so that it should be off). Still shows up on next boot.
    So, I tried to follow your suggestion about top level HD > preferences, but haven't quite figured out the Mac OS enough to know where these preferences are that you're directing me to. Could you possibly be a bit more granular for this Mac novice?
    Thanks a ton. These little system annoyances are why I've decided to try and break the PC grip on my life and it's a little disappointing to already have one on my mac. At least on the PC I know how to get rid of these things, but I'm still learning this Mac stuff.
    Thanks again,

  • Software Update Page for the Galaxy S4

    Has anyone noticed that on Verizon's Software Update Page for the Galaxy S4 it is displaying update I545VRUDMI1? We are currently at update I545VRUEMK2 which is two updates after the one that they have on the Software Update Page.

    Probably not for a while since they are talking up the S5 having 4.4 and the S3 and S4 not. Trying to screw us over some more.

  • Software update instructions for Nokia Asha 501

    Hey,
    software update instructions for Asha 501 can be found from here:
    http://www.nokia.com/global/support/software-update/new-nokia-asha-software-update
    By default your phone is set to automatically check for updates every 8 days and you will be notified when an update is available for download. If you want, it's possible to force the update check immediately by switching off and back on "Check via mobile data" setting from the “Phone update” menu. The size of the update is around 8 MB, so it's recommended to use Wi-Fi for the download.

    Nokia Asha 501 OTA software update onepager v1.1.pdf ‏361 KB

    Dear Nokia Software Employee,
    Thank you for the new nokia 501 update.
    However I am interested to get another new update concerning:
    1) Wireless configuration:
    It will include security mode of 802.1x, and EAP plug-in settings such as EAP-LEAP, EAP-PEAP, etcc....
    2) Keep applications minimized instead of closed:
    Sometimes there are some applications need to be minimized and not to be closed
    Ex: Applications such Athan, Prayers, Quran, etccc...
    3) Some Applications menu not working with screen touch but working with key buttons
    There are some applications that you cannot use the screen touch under the menu
    I will be greatful if the software will finalize the above suggestions
    Thank you and Best Regards

    Hello,
    Perfectly fine working iPad and I attempted to load the software update provided for settings. Now all I get is an on again off again apple. Attempted hard reset to no avail. iTunes no longer recognizes the device. So......? what? how? where?
    Thanks, Richard

    And one more point, I am not an Apple user. This is my first experience and have had to learn as I go. So any explanations please break it down for a noob. I am fairly computer geeky but when it comes to Mac or Apple or iAnything... I have zero experience.

  • 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.

  • Software update asks for restart before installing the updates. When restarted password is asked. After the restart the software updates have not been installed. how come?

    Software update ask for a restart before installing the updates. After the restart password is asked. When given the computer is restarted but the software updates have not been installed. How come?

    This article
    http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57400956-263/apple-issues-software-installe r-update/
    explains what might be going on.
    I noted that one of the updates in the list for my wife's iMac was an update to Software Update itself. Probably to fix this very problem. But it wasn't being applied due to Software Update itself not working.
    I considered two solutions.
    (1) Uncheck all the updates except that one update to Software Update. Then after fixing Software Update, apply all the other updates remaining. I did NOT try this approach.
    (2) Download and install the "combo update" for 10.6 -- from here
    http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1399
    I decided to try solution #2. It's a large download, 1 GB, but the whole process took less than 15 minutes. The "combo" update checks and reapplies every update since the beginning of 10.6, so if something is missing or amiss, it gets filled in. It's done manually, by downloading the update, opening the .dmg file, and running the update. When I did this, it fixed the Software Update issue because I then reran Software Update and additional, new updates were found and they all installed fine. Software Update was working as it should. I then ran it a third time and some additional ones were found, also then successfully applied. Finally, no new updates were found by Software Update, which mean everything is up to date.
    I can't be sure if your issue is the same as mine (the bug in the CNET article above) but I'm guessing that the combo update will resolve your issue.

  • Software Update - Checking for Updates

    Hi,
    I've just got my PlayBook and I've followed every step, but now I'm stuck. After plugging it in, setting up the wi-fi, logging in with my Blackberry ID, downloading and installing the updates and restarting the PlayBook I'm stuck on the same screen... For over an hour now. All it says is: "Software Update - Checking for Updates"
    Can anyone help? Please?

    Try the three button reset. Hold down Power Button, plus both volume buttons at the same time for 15 seconds. Release and wait one minute. Then hold down the power button only until the red light flashes on (about 4 seconds) , release and wait for the PB to reboot.

  • After AVG PC Tune up, software update message for security and stability update is available FireFox 3.6.18. Should I Update?

    My Dell laptop (Operating on Windows XP) was hit with multiple viruses - I could not open Mozilla Firefox or any other applications for that matter. After much time and many attempts, I was finally able to install and run an AVG Scan and then an AVG PC Tune up. 4,559 problems found and repaired. After the repairs, I received the following message:
    "Software Update - A security and stability update for Firefox is available: Firefox 3.6.18 - It is strongly recommended that you apply this update for Firefox as soon as possible. - an underlined link reading, "View more information about this update" and then 2 choices - "Ask Later" or "Update Firefox." Since part of the problem was with Firefox and some error messages pointed to that, I'm hesitant to click on any of the three options above. Can you help me to get past this error message, please. I am sending this from my home computer. Thank you. Diane

    Sometimes the updater gets in a funny state - Go to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ and download the full installer. Close Firefox and run the installer

  • Is it possible to use Mac OS 10.8 server as a software update server for iOS devices

    Hi guys - just trying to set up a corporate iPhone deployment, but we're out in West Africa and bandwidth is limited. I'm controlling initial app deployment, but what I don't want is everyone downloading the same copy of their apps over the internet, when (ideally at least) I could download them once on the 10.8 server and push them out from there (or have them pulled). Is it possible to set up OS X Server as an iOS Software Update Server?
    Thanks in advance,
    Matt

    and there are size limits on downloads for 3G.  There have been a number of posts in the past from users who were unable to download an app or movie or whatever via 3G due to too large a file size.  Of course he could use a public wifi when needed, but these may also have download limits.  Also, if he's a student, he might be able to use the school's wifi.

    You have 10.6 on that machine, I suggest you stick with it for performance, third party hardware and software reasons as long as possible.
    Consider 10.8 (not 10.7) when it's released, because 10.7 and 10.8 will require a new investment in software and newer third party hardware as it requires newer drivers the old machines won't have. (forced upgrade because of software, really nice of them)

    Far as your Safari problem do these things until it's resolved:
    1: Software Update fully under the Apple menu.
    2: Check the status of your plug-ins and update (works for all browsers) also install Firefox and see if your problems continue. You should always have at least two browsers on the machine just in case one fails.
