Why do some Security Updates get flagged by SCCM 2012 as "Not Required" when the Bulletin ID states they are?

Hiya
We've just pushed all updates from the March patch Tuesday Security Bulletin to our test Workstations/Servers (using SCCM 2012 R2)
One of the patches (MS14-013 - KB2929961) hasn't applied to a selection of 2008 R2 and 2012 Servers, but according to the Bulletin notes for this it is applicable to both. It has applied to my Windows 8 boxes.
The servers don't already have this applied, its not a superseded update and SCCM has flagged this as "Required" for x64 versions of Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 but "Not required" for any servers.
Bulletin ID states its applicable to all except Itanium based editions - https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/bulletin/ms14-013
If I download the update and try to run it manually on the servers I get "The update is not applicable to your computer"
So it looks as though the WUAgent and SCCM compliance are reporting correctly, but that the Bulletin ID isn't entirely correct??
Has anyone else found this? We use the Bulletin IDs for monthly meetings on what we're patching and what system it will affect so causes a lot of confusion with system owners when a patch doesn't apply that they're expecting to get applied.
Thanks!

Hi,
Without any indepth investigation if I am not mistaking the update is for Directshow and that component is installed with the Desktop Experience on the server OS's, and therefor the update is not applicable on the servers..
Could that be the case?

My iPad mini won't download the 7.0.4 security update...keeps saying I'm not connected to the Internet. How do I fix this?

My iPad mini won't download the 7.0.4 security update. It just keeps telling me I'm not connected to the Internet. It's doing this to my gf's Ipad 2 as well. How do I fix it?

"7.0.4"? The current version of iOS is 7.0.6. Version 7.0.4 can no longer be downloaded or installed.

Update "Is not required" when it is required for some workstations

Hi all - Question in regards to how SCCM/WSUS determines if a patch is applicable to a machine. Some background info. We have 168 Dell Venue tablets running Windows 8, not 8.1 (that's another story). All were imaged from SCCM with
the same image so they should all be identical in regards to software and patch levels. I'm trying to deploy KB2756872. Of the 168 machines 150 are showing as "Not Required" for the patch, 18 are showing as "Required".
I've successfully manually installed the .msu on a couple of the "Not Required" machines with no problem. Running the "My Dell" utility shows the patch as required on the machine so why does SCCM think it is not?
Questions is why are most showing as "Not Required" when the patch is applicable? Is there a way to figure out what exactly is being evaluated to determine whether a patch is or is not required?
Thanks as always,
Rick

The ConfigMgr client agent just controls the Windows Update Client agent (which performs the scan against the SUP's catalog). Any chance that the update is classified as an optional one?

HT4623 I updated my mini, but some of my apps are no longer available. One of them I purchased from the Apple store. They are grayed out with the word "waiting" underneath the app. Any suggestions?

If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

Hi G,
If you're not using Software Update (in the Apple menu), use that.
If you are using SU and getting that message, try going to http://support.apple.com/downloads/ and downloading it, then install it.

Why do some of my songs have an exclamation point in Itunes? When I try to play it gives an error message that it can be located?

Why do some of my songs have an exclamation point in Itunes? When I try to play it gives an error message that it can be located?

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

some thing is runnng in the back ground. Or your email is struck. Deleted all emails and reboot phone and add them one by one. Or your sim cards has problem. Replace sim card. If nothing works drain battery then recharge battery to 100% full charge.

I have an iPhone with iOS 7.1.1 and am trying to update to 7.1.2, but get an error message "iTunes could not back up the iPhone becaus the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone"

I have an iPhone with iOS 7.1.1 and am trying to update to 7.1.2, but get an error message "iTunes could not back up the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone"

Assuming you are using the current version of iTunes (11,2,2), open iTunes, click "Preferences" under the leftmost entry on iTunes' menu, then choose "Devices".
Find the iPhone's backup there, highlight it, and choose "Delete Backup".

When I try to install the iOS update, I get a message that I am not connected to the internet. What can I do?

When I try to update the operating system, I get a message saying I am not connected to the internet. What should I do?

If you are trying to do a wifi update, make sure you have a good signal, plug in to make sure you have adequate power. Try updating through iTunes on your computer.

Why am i getting the message cannot get mail or that i am not connected to the internet what settings do i need to be on

WIFi needs to enabled and you need to be connected to a network. Alternatively, you need Cellular Data to be "on". (Settings>General>Network). But it propably is a problem with your router (at least, it often is with me), provided you are using your private router. Try schutting it off and turning it on again. This usually sorts problems like this out.

I have moved to the country where my internet speed is slow. I am running some auto updates that keep timing out half way through. Can the time out be shut off to complete the update?

I'm not sure about that. But what you could try is to set the Update Preference to "Manual" and try updating at a time when the Network may not be as busy, like late at night or early in the morning.
Just an idea.

Does anyone know if Apple are planning on releasing a new version of the iPad in 2013? I want to buy one, but would rather wait to get the latest one if they are planning on a release of a newer version later this year.

BEFORE JUST REJECTING MY QUERY, AS A POTENTIALLY NEW CUSTOMER I WOULD APPRECIATE SOME FORM OF AN ANSWER!!
I want to buy an iPad (my first one), but would rather wait a couple of months to get the latest one if they are planning on a release of a newer version later this year. I certainly cannot afford to buy one now and then update when a newer model comes out, especially if it's released only a couple of months from now.

The latest one came out just 4 months ago. Doubt one is coming out soon.
There are always going to be people who are one day out of their return period when a new device comes out, and that's just that. No one can predict. And we are all just users here who would have no idea. But I would get an iPad now given the last one came out four months ago.
