Software Updates, DistributionPoints and BITS.

I have a lot of very low bandwidth links on my WAN between client computers and distribution points so I am trying to throttle the deployment of software updates where I can. I know I can configure BITS within Client Settings to throttle but I'm not convinced
it's working and to be honest I'm slightly confused where BITS comes into the equation with content distribution.
When I look at my DP settings I see it is set to use HTTP to communicate with clients.
And when I look at the stats on my routers in the branches I see the patch Tuesday downloads from the DPs to the clients are using HTTP. So where does BITS come into the equation during this process as HTTP and BITS are two distinct protocols? And are my
Client Settings having any effect on throttling?

If your WAN links are that poor you could be a good candidate for 1E Nomad Branch. It works really well in these circumstances.

We are already using Riverbed Steelheads in our branch offices so will 1E Nomad improve WAN utilization any?

  • I installed latest software updates today and now iphoto won't work at all - heeelllppp!

    Hello
    i installed latest software updates today and since then iphoto will not work at all.  The window oens but it remains blank, and when I go to force quit it says iphoto not responding, so it's as if it's crashing on startup.  I can't access my photo library or put new photos in the library from my camera, in fact I can't do anything at all with it. 
    I am in Africa a long way from home and tech support, so please can anyone help me??  Im a bit desperate as my whole photo library is inaccessible, and it will be months before I am back in the UK.
    I am not hugeley techie so plain English please. 
    Thanks

    I forgot my password and am trying to reset my ipod, but it won't work.It says that my ipod is in recovery mode and that I must restore it. I click ok, and then click on restore and update. Then it says connecting ipod software update server and a screen pops up with ipod software update on the top and iOS 5.1. It lists a bunch of stuff this update contains and on the bottom it says next, which I click and nothing happens, it just goes back to the ipod restore page. Help, what am I doing wrong?

    This device is not eligible for the requested build (Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194")
    Update to the latest version of iTunes. Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard) users may need to download iTunes 10.6.3.
    Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, followTroubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to performunauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. Uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer.
    Edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from your hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart.
    Avoid using an older or modified .ipsw file. Try moving the current .ipsw file (see Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations), or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.

    The App Store version sometimes gives problems. As you can't install 10.8.4 from the App Store, download and install the Combo edition > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1659?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US This edition will work and will update OS X to the most recent version, in that case, 10.8.4

    Have you tried temporarily turning off your firewall and antivirus software until the download has completed ?

    My HTC One received a software update yesterday, and it wiped out most of the theme and live wallpaper options. How do I get the previous options back?

    This was NOT an update, rather a downgrade... the font size in text messages is now smaller and difficult to read. I have tried changing font size in settings and it does not apply to text messages. The lock/unlock screen pattern now reminds me of drawing a stick figure. My vehicle is now having problems with Bluetooth importation of my phone book--I keep receiving an on screen error message as it tries to continuously reattempt to import... And yes, the live weather wallpaper i favored is no longer an option... Why?

  • Automatic create Software Update Group and assign patches

    Does someone has a e.g. powershell/vbs script which does the following:
    - step 1: verify which patches are added to Windows 7 image using SCCM 2012 Offline Servicing
    - step 2: verify all downloaded and deployed patches in the SCCM 2012 environment
    - step 3: get the multi-reboot patches
    Then creates a Software Update Group and add all patches obtained in step 2 and exclude all patches obtained in step 1 and step 3..
    Then I can assign that software update group to my Reference Image task sequence and I will not ran in the currently available problems where lists are to big and software updates during the task sequence are failing :-)
    Does some likes this and want to help me with it ?
    I think it is a nice solution for the patch deployment problem during the reference image task sequence phase.

    1.  I've not written a script for that but to be plain:  why?  There's no reason you shouldnt have those patches downloaded and deployed anyway in case someone makes a computer "the old fashioned way" then joins it to the domain.
    2.  This is what ADR is for.  I've got a few runbooks to help with things like cleaning up expired patches, but you shouldn't need any script for this step specifically.
    3.  Getting multi-reboot patches someone already did for you :)  http://blogs.technet.com/b/deploymentguys/archive/2015/03/11/excluding-known-multi-reboot-updates-during-a-zti-deployment.aspx
    Basically for #3, you just replace the update task with the MDT version and put this script right in front.  Bam, done :)  As for the extra scripting to exclude downloading patches you injected with DISM (#1)... I honestly don't see a point ...
    but I could probably write something if you wanted.

  • Automatic software update stuck and going nowhere

    Had 10.5 on a PPC Macmini, running smoothly, no problems. Ran Software update today and it's stuck on a progress bar now for over an hour installing 10.5. The progress seems stuck 'installing one item' at app 10%. I am tempted to shut down but thought I might get a quick answer here first.

    Peter
    Was it just one update, or many? Which one is it stuck at?
    Since you are running 10.5.0 there are many updates available, and installing them all at once might be problematical. Nothing should take an hour to install, but if you are installing a dozen or so updates, it's possible to take a long time.
    You might run your activity monitor and see if anything is really happening.

  • Software Update Packages and binary differential replication

    Do Software Update packages have any differential replication built in, or do the update packages just re-deploy the full package when updates are added or removed from it?

    All ConfigMgr content replication always uses file differential replication so no to your question, only the changed files are sent. BDR wouldn't help unless and actual file is changed at the binary level which, to my knowledge, never happens with software
    update files, and typically only happens (and is of value) with large files like OS images (aka WIMs).

  • Software Update Server and iTunes

    I just got the task of reorganizing our haphazardly organized Apple client-server structure. I plan on implementing a software update server and using ARD to push out updates to clients.
    Is there a way to control iTunes to stop its self update queries to the iTunes website without touching every machine and turning it off for every admin user? I've been looking for some kind of preference key that would either disable the autoupdates or point iTunes to use the Software Update server that I could push down with workgroup manager, but haven't been able to find one yet.

    Try:
    iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server

    Did software update today and now IPhoto is not working.  Operating system is OS X Yosemite 10.10.3

    What OS X version did you upgrade from? What iPhoto version did you have before upgrading? You cannot upgrade a version of iPhoto from a pre-10.10.2 OS X version installation. You needed iPhoto 9.6.1.

    My sons iPhone is under my apple id. He completed a software update earlier and now receives my text messages I send and receive- how do I disable this feature??

    This happens when you both use the same Apple ID for iMessage.  You can continue to share the same ID for pruchasing from the iTunes & App stores, but you should be using a different ID for iMessage.  To fix this you have two choices:
    On one of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID (so you are both using a different ID for iMessage); or
    On both phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and uncheck the email address(es) shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at".  Also uncheck anyone else's phone number, if present.
