Software updates to unknown computers during OSD

Hi!
Trying to figure out why my computers during OSD not install software updates. I have deployed all my updates to Unknows Computers collection as available and configured "Install Software Updates" step to install "All software updates".
When i look into UpdatesDeployment.log i get error: "InstallTargetedUpdates failed, error 87d00708", which is according to
Torsten means that i does not find any applicable updates to install.
Do I have to deploy the updates as Required to "Unknows computers" for the updates to install?
Thanks!

Hi,
Unknown computers include the following:
A computer where the Configuration Manager client is not installed
A computer that is not imported into Configuration Manager
A computer that is not been discovered by Configuration Manager
I think it is because you have SCCM clients installed on these computers when you use "Install Software Updates" step to install updates.

Windows Updates showing Unknown computers

Hi,
I am deploying Windows Updates and the Statistics window shows a high number of 'Unknown' computers, how do I find out these machines and what is the best method to have this number as close to zero as possible?
In the Software Library > Software Updates > Software Update Groups pane the statistics are as below for Windows 7 Updates:

Hi,
We could get those machines which shows unknown from reports. Then troubleshoot the process for the software update group installation and the state messages sent to MP on some specific machines.

How can I see up AppStore/Software Updates for multiple computers using the same account?

I have several computers in my household which all use the same App Store account for purchases & software updates. How can I view all those installs while not being in front of all computers?
Recently an iMac crashed from a software update. I want to see what installed & crashed it.

Launch the Mac app store on the computer you want to update.
To use your Apple ID at the Mac App Store
Choose Store > Sign In from the App Store menu.
Enter your Apple ID and password, then click Sign In.
Then redownload Lion.

Software Update went to sleep during install - wont boot!

Hi,
My friend has a white macbook that she was updating to 10.5.2 just as normal using Software Update. While the update was installing she closed the lid and thus putting the computer to sleep.
When she opened it the next day it said the install was done and that a restart is required - when she restarted it the computer wouldn't startup!!
It gets to the grey screen with the apple logo and the progress indicator but nothing ever happens!
I have used the Leopard disk to repair the system but nothing helped!
She really doesn't want to have to archive install, are there any other options?

When I select the hard drive in the installer it says: "You can't install on this volume becuase it doesn't meet the System Requirements"!!
*what now!?*
I would boot into the Leopard DVD (hold down "C" when booting) and in the Utilities folder run DU and do a disk repair and permissions repair. That should take care of any file corruption that occurred.
Then see if the system boots. If not, try the Safe mode (boot holding down the spacebar) and then let us know what happens.
Don't give up and reinstall unless we have eliminated the impossible and the most highly unlikely

KB2509007 did not fix problem with Install Updates hanging at 0% during OSD task sequence

Hi everybody. We recently started building our Build & Capture Task Sequence for our Windows 7 gold image. However, I keep running into the problem where the Install Software Updates step keeps hanging at "downloading updates 1 of 164 (0%).
This is a known issue that is supposed to be addressed with hotfix KB2509007. I followed the instructions
here to install the hotfix on my site server. I then added the PATCH= argument to my "Setup windows and ConfigMgr" step in my TS. But still my TS was hanging in the same spot.
Then I found
this page, which says that there is another known issue with KB2509007, and the order in which it is installed along side other hotfixes (such as R3). So I followed those instructions, and confirmed that UpdatesHandler.dll is at version 4.00.6487.2188,
and BOOM, the updates installed and I captured my gold image. This was about a week ago.
Well, since then, we have had a patch Tuesday, and I am trying to run by Build & Capture TS again to integrate the latest updates into my gold image, but now my TS is hanging at 0% again! I have confirmed that UpdatesHandler.dll is at the correct version,
so I am unsure what the issue could be now.
Does anybody have any experience with this issue? Thanks in advance for any help!
UPDATE: I re-ran my TS, and now the updates are installing. I'm not sure why the behaviour is so inconsistent though...

Software update not displaying status during install

So I ran the software update on my Mac Mini, it downloaded 7 items. One was the OS itself, which failed, but said it would retry. The download had a status bar the whole time and did get to the end. Now I think the other updates are being installed, but can't tell. There is no window telling me what it's doing. If I try to restart, it says that the update program stopped the restart.
Am I supposed to be seeing progress?
As I open the Software Update program, the menu at the top has mostly greyed out items.
What do you suggest that this new Mini user does?

Apple Software Update cannot be removed during install

I have tried updating to the new 64-bit version of iTunes 9.1 several times, and every time it will get all the way to the end and say "The older version of Apple Software Update cannot be removed. Please contact your technical support group." It then says the iTunes installer has been interrupted and did not finish the download. I tried to manually remove the Apple Software Update, but it said "The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it."
What do I do? I've tried just about everything I can think of. I've even tried doing the download without checking the automatic updates option at the beginning of the installation.

First try heading in to your Add/Remove programs control panel and see if you can uninstall Apple Software Update from there.
If you can't uninstall Apple Software Update from there, or it doesn't appear in there, or if you seem to successfully uninstall it from there, but you still get the same message when you try to install iTunes, try the following procedure.
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Now run the utility (“Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up”), select any *Apple Software Update* entries in the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, and then click “Remove”.
Now quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

IPhone 4 freezes during software update

Here we go. I've searched the forum. This problem is known, but there is no single solution that has worked for everyone. So I'll post here and see if I'm wrong.
iPhone 4 - I do not know the current version of the iOS, but I was upgrading to today's latest.
Windows Vista
Latest version of itunes 10.4.1.10
iTunes updated fine, iPhone backed up fine, software update dowloaded, error occurred during the actual update.
Now, iphone screen has the usb plug and itunes logo on it, as if it's telling me to plug the phone in to my MC and fire up itunes. Which I do. And nothing happens. This happened to me before on the same computer, only with an iPod Gen2. The only solution I even found for that was plugging into a different PC, restoring the ipod, coming back to this PC and restoring the backup, but not installing the software.
This time I don't even get the message that my device is stuck in restore mode.
Help anyone? I'm ******.

Hello curtis84: I tried unsuccessfully for several weeks to locate a fix online for this issue. I've seen may posts for this issue and a lot of complaining about Apple's lack of response with a fix. After trying various times to uninstall software reinstalling software, deleting backups blah blah blah; I decided to do things the "hard" way. I installed ITunes on another one of our computers and backed up my Iphone to that computer. Doing this gives you a warning that only certain portions of the iphone are backed up since I'm using another computer. Another stupid feature of ITunes....Since I use the IPhone on a Windows computer AND all of my contacts, emails are on an MS Outlook account, the only painful part of this was my ITunes Library. Photos and music were backed up on a separate (USB) hard drive and transferred manually. This did wipe out my playlists for my IPhone but at least I can run the software. The back up works the update works and the syncing runs much quicker than before. I realize this isn't an elegant solution but since Apple has not provided a posting for Windows based computers, this is my attempt to help those who need it.
A little feedback for Apple; not that they seem to be listening but here it goes; I always hear from others how much of a pain Microsoft is due to cross compatibility issues snd their protectinonism; but in all of my years of running numerous computer systems including Apple I have never encountered such a total lack of disregard for customer support as I have with Apple and their OS updates. This includes their computer based and phone based OS. From a business perspective, this specific lack of cross platform support undermines your product and allows competitors to bulld support for their products. Please do the right thing and properly support your loyal customers whether MS or Apple based. The phone rocks. Just support it!
Best Regards.

My MacBook Pro froze during software update 10.9.2. What do I do?

My current operating system is 10.9.1 and I downloaded the 10.9.2 update. I am now stuck on the Installing Software Update screen that appears during reboot. I have been stuck here for about an hour and don't know what to do. Help, please!

In case anyone else needs an answer to this, I called in to Apple. Tech support said to power it off and let it reboot itself. I had to go back into updates and tell it to finish the install (restart computer, was the only step remaining) and it worked fine. It took longer because it had gotten hung up during the previous restart. ( Just to clarify, I was stuck on the grey screen after the restart step of the install.)

Computer crashed during software update

Currently using OS X Lion, started the latest software update and computer crashed during the update. I forced the computer to turn off, but when I turn it on, it returns to the same "crashed" condition (grey screen with an apple logo in the center, plus the time symbol spinning).
Greatly appreciate if anyone can help me. Thanks!

Back up all data, then boot from your recovery partition (command-R at startup) and reinstall the Mac OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac didn’t ship with Lion, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.

Install Software update install Office updates?

Hi ,
Does 'Install software update' task in configuration manager installs office patches or just OS pacthes? I have Office patches (around 100 ) software update group is advertised\deployed to my build and capture machine. Once machine is build, i don't see
any of the office patches installed. I have added 'install software update' step after Install application and packages step (so that office get installed first).
Regards,

Assuming that you are talking about within a task sequence. This task installs "all" or "all required" (depending upon which option you pick) software updates that are deployed (and applicable based upon a compliance scan of course) to the target
system -- it doesn't matter what kind of update it is. During OSD, the updates need to be deployed to the same collection that the task sequence is.

App store not showing up in software update.. Any work around for this?

When I run software update it runs and then says that all software is up to date. I don't have an option to install the app store.. Is there any other way to install it?

I totally understand the confusion. That's how I ended up here on the discussion. I am running 10.6.5, so according to Apple's instructions below, this should have worked. Apparently, they need to correct their instructions. Here's what the App Store page says about installing it:
The Mac App Store is available as a free software update for Mac computers running Mac OS X v10.6 or later. If you have an earlier version of Mac OS X, you will need to upgrade to Mac OS X Snow Leopard.
1. Update your software.
Click the Apple icon, then choose Software Update. A dialog will appear on your desktop. Click the Install button in the dialog to begin the installation. You will be instructed to restart your Mac to complete the process.
Thanks for clearing it up.

Software Update fails

Hi Everyone
Software update suddenly has a problem. When downloading and installing the latest updates - in this case Garageband and Java - the installer hits an error during the 'writing files' stage. This is the error:
None of the checked updates could be installed:
The Installer could not install some files in “/”. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.
After clearing that message I get 'Software Update: An error occurred during installation' And then software update shows the items with a red exclamation mark next to them.
I have deleted the ..softwareupdate.preferences.plist as well as the /library/updates one, repaired permissions and restarted the computer but no change. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Rod

Hi Rod,
Try using the standalone installers instead of using Software Update and see if that works.
Here's the one for the Java update: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/javaformacosx105 update3.html
And Security Update 2009-001 (Leopard) is here: http://support.apple.com/downloads/SecurityUpdate_2009_001__Leopard
Garage Band Updates: http://support.apple.com/downloads/#garageband
Also, make certain you have plenty of available disk space for the updates.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop, then click: Get Info. In the Get Info window, click the discovery triangle so it's facing down. You will see; Capacity and Available Make sure you have 10% available disk space, 15% is better.

How to Use Apple Software Update w/ ARD 2.2

There must be a way - but I haven't figured it out yet - to use ARD 2.2 to control Apple Software Update on client computers. Is it simply to take control of each computer one at a time and run Software Update? If so, that doesn't simplify things much over actually going to each computer in my lab. I'm hoping there's a more automated, streamlined way to do it. Please let me know the secret - if there is one!
Thanks!

Send the UNIX command "softwareupdate" (Send Command As root). Here's the usage:
softwareupdate <mode> [<args> ...]
-l | --list List all appropriate updates
-d | --download Download Only
-i | --install Install
<label> ... specific updates
-a | --all all appropriate updates
-r | --recommended only recommended updates
-u | --url <url> ... from signed package URLs
Per-user preferences:
--ignore <label> ... Ignore specific updates
--reset-ignored Clear all ignored updates
--schedule (on | off) Set automatic checking
-h | --help Print this help
