Regarding disabling the tools pane by default, that may be an option that can be configured via the Adobe Customization Wizard.

However, the .xml file is not being copied when the .msi is installed.. There are two reasons this can happen: * The command is defective and thus failing. * The INSTALLER is not returning the correct result codes, and the post-execution steps are not executing at all. To test this, set the result action of the "Apply…

but problem is we cant get WSUS server access Can you better describe what you mean by "get WSUS server access"? While it's not necessary to have physical access to the machine, it's an absolute requirement to have an administrative logon. without having access to WSUS,is it possible to manage the installation of patches…

Nathan, can you post the exact error you're getting when attempting to use the IIS7 connector?

This report data is readily available from the stock Computer Update Status report by filtering on Approval="Not Approved" and Installation State in ("Not Installed", "Downloaded"). But if you're getting NO rows in the report, then most likely you have not yet configured, scheduled, and/or executed a WSUS Inventory task to…

I often get Timeout from the Source "Data Grid Server" (mostly if navigating the WSUS Management Tree). The causes for timeouts from the WSUS Server are discussed in this blog series: WSUS Timeout Errors - When? and Why?, Eliminating and Avoiding

Greetings Lutin Network Configuration Manager (NCM) is licensed per node. A node is essentially a target of a configuration file. Four Cisco Catalyst 3750 series switches would be four nodes.

Q1. In order to uniquely identify a MS update for all catalogues, do we rely on BOTH the Guid and Revision? Yes. Q2. If answer to Q1 is positive, then its is true that for a certain KB, the Guid will remains constant over time when Microsoft publishes newer revision (10x, 20x..) available to the public? It is true for a…

Since this post was originally made, and in consideration of recent changes made by Microsoft, and about to be made, you should also consider deleting any certificates with a key-length of 512 bits or smaller, as they will shortly be made obsolete anyway, and likely have already (or will be in the immediate future)…

This is the data conversion from the NTA v3 SQL storage to the NTA v4 FlowStorage, and depending on * how much Netflow data you have * how much Netflow data you're currently capturing (which is being written direct to the FlowStorage database) * whether you installed the FlowStorage datastore on a dedicated server…

If I have to modify a package, do I have to (?): It depends on what you are modifying. * If you're changing anything that is contained in FILES, e.g. the EXE, MSI, MSP, PackageBoot.XML, or any other included additonal files, then you must create a NEW package and publish the new package with the changed binaries. * If you…

The Job Engine v2 service definitely should be running in the LOCAL SYSTEM context, so make that change, and then we can troubleshoot further from there. However, it would seem that this is the most likely principal cause: 2013-04-05 11:14:18,340 [6] ERROR SolarWinds.JobEngine.Scheduling.CertificateCredentialHandler -…

1) Index fragmentation - can I set some specific indexes/tables to ignore? - I think this is just wierd/stupid SQL math.... I have a table that has one row, four columns... I rebuild the index and it has 0% fragmentation, but within 5-10 minutes it shows 99.6%, still one row. It is SQL reporting it, so nothing SW can do…

There's no "migration". They are two separate product installs, just like .NET2 or .NET4. So... install JRE8, then uninstall JRE7. Possibly this conversation will be of some assistance: Java 7 to Java 8 Upgrade Package

In general, there are three methodologies you can use to implement multiple websites on an IIS server: In all three cases, it requires you to place each website in a separate virtual root. * Distinction by IP Address - configure a unique IP Address for each virtual root. All IP Addresses must be configured as logical IP…

Storage Manager is not available as SaaS.

As per recomendation we need to do RAID 1+0 for NTA4.0 Database so can we put OS and Database on same disk or we need separate disk. Ideally any data store should be hosted on a separate set of disks from the operating system. However, if you only have four spindles available and the choices are: * RAID 10 - four spindles…

Greetings Mark. I've posted a response to your questions In the earlier thread on this topic.

Greetings Jay! I only see four rules in the v11.4 ActiveX EXE Full Installer package Applicability Ruleset (and two rules in the Installed Ruleset) relevant to x64 systems. 1. Registry Version in String testing HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Macromedia\FlashPlayerActiveX for a value < 11.4.402.278 This rule will return TRUE in…

Patch Manager can package any application based on an EXE, MSI, or MSP installer file, that supports a silent/uninstalled installation, and has a well-defined behavior that can be coded in a set of logic rules to determine whether the update is installed or not, or whether the update should be installed.

Changing the name of a *WSUS* server is handled by deleting the old registration, and then creating a new registration. You'll find the "Update Services Registration Management" tool by selecting the "Update Services" node of the console, and then right click for the context menu, or use the Actions Pane on the right.…

Greetings. There are actually two answers to this question, one a universal fact-based one, and the other, since you specifically asked about "older versions" that can be directly inferred from known information about the OpenSSL/Hearbleed bug. First, DameWare does not use OpenSSL. Period. So no versions of DameWare…

Is there an easy way to deploy Microsoft Hotfixes No there isn't. What you've found is what there is. For assistance with building packages, I recommend viewing these two webcasts from last year: [VIDEO] Package Creation Fundamentals [VIDEO] Package Creation Using Patch Manager For assistance using DISM, this should get…

The short answer to this question is that there is no "easy way". Yes. a FEW (and the key word here is "few").. have successfully packaged Office 2007 or Office 2010 over the past half-dozen years. My personal suggestion is to put the installation media image on a read-only no-authenticated-required file share, and then…

In addition to adding the domain to the Management Group, you will also need to add Credentials to the Credential Rings, so that the Patch Manager console user can enumerate the domain. Most likely the domain is not appearing in the Windows Networking node because there is no authority to query the Domain Controller.…

In this case it's saying that this server needs flash player, but flash player isn't installed on this server, This is a never-ending state of confusion with terminology used. The graph does not say that the package is *needed*; it says that the package is Not Installed. (on the left). That's a factual statement. Because…

This is a normal-and-expected dialog, and no, you cannot use a certificate from ADCS for this purpose. The Patch Manager PAS is the Certificate Authority for the certificate system used within the entire Patch Manager infrastructure owned by that PAS. All secondary PM servers, and all console connections, are secured,…

There are two ways you can approach this requirement. The first is that you can inventory the software that exists on your client systems and report based on what is actually installed. However, merely reporting on what is installed wil not necessarily convey whether the software is actually up to date. There are two…

In Scenario 2 i saw that i should install automation role servers on each WSUS downstream server in order to only use port 4092 (and not the rpc/wmi ports) Correct, since the RPC/WMI connections originate from the Automation Role Server, this creates a two-stage communication. The communication from the primary server to…
