I've seen the same error occur after a more recent wsus update (KB2734608) has been applied against the WSUS or Patch Manager server. Check to see if either machine has this update.

Hi. I don't believe there's been any updates to the "Hewlett-Packard ProLiant Servers" catalogs since 6/19/2012. Is this the specific catalog you're looking at? Additionally, you can find the location we download the cab files in the "Other Catalogs" tab of "Synchronization Settings". Here's a reference screenshot.

Additionally, whenever you utilize the "Includes additional files with the package" option the content will be pulled into your custom package in the the same directory structure it's currently in. This can be particularly helpful whenever you have installation package dependencies on additional folder content required for…

I'll add some more context as I worked on this issue in a support case with scottk. Turned out there was quite a large discovery set up that eating up cpu until the server became unusable.

When you created this package did you duplicate one of the java installation packages from the third party catalog? The reason I ask is that certain programs currently running on the target machine (I'm looking at you IE) can have a negative effect on the installation process. It would be important to retain the…

Do you have access installed on the machine you are running the export on? Here's a relevant KB article. SolarWinds Knowledge Base :: Patch Manager requires Microsoft Access to export to an Access database

Working on this issue in NS Case 474977.

Actually this wizard can be located in actions pane whenever you are in the Administration and Reporting > Software Publishing node. It the one you run the first time you select your catalogs. This will write the value back in that you deleted in step 4.

Some additional information can also be found in this KB article. SolarWinds Knowledge Base :: Q&A: What's the difference between FULL and UPGRADE packages?

I know Windows 2000 is no longer supported as a client as of 1.80. Do you have any other OS exhibiting this behavior?

Hi. Here's a report that will pull that information. IE Version From Registry .xdq Keep in mind you'll need to ensure you have a custom registry inventory task configured per the KB article referenced.

I'm going for a shirt

Here's the original thread I found that information on.

ak00, I think your best bet for this particular issue would be to open a support case so someone on our team can take a closer look at what is happening. http://www.solarwinds.com/customerportal

I don't have any specific steps I can provide, however I did discover today during a support call that we actually do now use the account you're logged in with to make the initial connection to the remote SQL server. From here you'll need to ensure the service account has DBO for ongoing communication. Are you able to…

You mention the username is domain admin for both domains, are we talking multiple domains here? Does the sql server host another EminentWare database? Typically an auto server is installed with local sql as there is not actually much stored for this role.

Typically this is an indication something was holding the content during publishing (probably AV software). McAfee seems to be the most common culprit.

Lawrence Garvin did a nice write up on the impact, and steps to mitigate issues related to the upcoming certificate invalidation.…

Hi David- Is there a way that i can confirm that your cab file has taken effect? Only way I can think of to confirm the post execution task ran would be to view the relevant registry entry on the target machine. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\JavaSoft\Java Update\Policy\EnableJavaUpdate = 0 and…

Hi. These packages just have a post execution task set up to flip EnableJavaUpdate from 1 to 0 (this disables the built in auto update mechanism). This was accomplished by adding a .reg file, and then calling it after the package runs. Deployment would be the exact same as the normal packages.

Hi Mike, This error is the result of the fact that Windows 2008 R2 cannot install the WSUS console for v6. As a workaround you can install an automation server on the WSUS server, and then create an automation server routing rule to push all WSUS actions to the auto server on the WSUS server.

My first thought is the content may be moved, but since you didn't use the "movecontent" command WSUS may be unaware of where the content is. What is the results of running "wsusutil.exe movecontent F:\WSUS -skipcopy"?

Here's a few things to consider. 1. You would need to install Patch Manager 2.0RC if you go with Server 2012R2 as this OS isn't supported on version 1.85.490. 2. The WSUS console version on 2012 will not match the WSUS version on the 2008R2 server. One workaround for this is to install an automation server on the WSUS…

What are the results of running "Check and Manage Computer Connectivity" against one of these machines? Here's some detailed instructions on how to run this task. 1. In the tree view in the left pane of the application, expand the Microsoft Windows Network level. 2. Select a workgroup or domain from the tree view. The…

I was not able to reproduce this issue in my test lab.

Can you provide a screenshot?

Did you also declare the package location in the "Download URL" field? Here's an example of how I set up packages in a non-connected environment.

Have you run an inventory since the groups were created and populated? The reporting function is only as good as the last time data was collected via inventory. Here's a KB article on how to set this up as a scheduled task. http://knowledgebase.solarwinds.com/kb/questions/3679

This message you're receiving sounds like it's coming from the Patch Manager MMC console. For SCCM 2012 environments you actually need to access this functionality within the native SCCM console.

Orion is typically slow after installation as the pages have to be compiled. The data displayed in the "Patches" tab is pulled from the Patch Manager database, and then cached in the Orion database to speed things up. Try clicking the load newest data button and let it refresh. Thing should speed up and run normally once…
