Greetings Ayesha. NCM (Network Configuration Manager) is a separate product. In the Orion web console it will appear as the "CONFIGS" tab when installed. You can download a 30-day trial of NCM from Network Configuration | Configuration Management Software: Free Trial

I suspect this has to do with the scoping of the variable, inasmuch as it's being used in a subquery. What happens if you write the query like this: SELECT DateTrunc('minute',DateTime) AS Time, SUM(InAveragebps) AS InAveragebps, SUM(OutAveragebps) AS OutAveragebps, ASIC FROM Orion.NPM.InterfaceTraffic IT INNER JOIN Orion…

This could be one or more of a combination of things. 1. The webpage code that accepts their email address. 2. The code that creates the randomly generated password. 3. The code that creates the email message with the password to be sent. 4. The processing of the to-be-sent mail queue by the SMTP Service. 5. The actual…

When an update repeatedly detects and installs, that almost always an indication that the Installed Ruleset is not returning TRUE value when it should. Installed Rules: MSI Product Installed: Product ID={7789ba8a-663f-7e63-7e25-bbdc0c7a68d3} Since your only test is for the Product ID, this suggests that you've identified…

If the Java Not Approved group has the update package set to Not Approved (Inherited), and the Java Approved group has the update package set to Approved for Install, and some computers in the Java Not Approved group are getting the update anyway, the logical inference is that those computers have been accidentally…

If the patch was downloaded/installed as a result of a Patch Manager Update Management (or Update Management Wizard) task, then the download time and installation time will be recorded in the Task Details History for that task. If the patch was downloaded/installed by the Windows Update Agent as part of a regular event…

You'll need to create a *COMPUTER* rule in the Credential Ring, and add the explicit MACHINE\Administrator account and password and assign it to the Computer Rule. Alternatively, if you have a Domain Admin credential for that domain, and the domain is managed by Patch Manager (i.e. a member of some Management Group), you…

Andrew's instructions are valid, and with my access I'm able to replicate an image of your Customer Portal home page. It currently shows an unregistered instance of your Patch Manager license available for download. As for the upgrade installation itself, it definitely depends on what version you are starting from as…

Part of this question may relate to whether people prefer to read in the web browser, as is the case with Google Reader, or read in an application. I'm actually subscribed to several hundred RSS feeds (and no, I don't actually *read* all of them, but I do scan them). For me that volume is not practical in something like…

For the RightFax question, the limitation is simply one of network access. Because all updates are installed in the context of the SYSTEM user (by the WUAgent), there is no network access. The installation is likely failing because your /manifest reference is not accessible. The best way to handle this is by using the…

The passwords are stored in the database instance for the Application Role server where the credential was define. The passwords are encrypted. We use Microsoft's DPAPI to encrypt the passwords within the application code, and then the table (column?) containin the passwords is also encrypted using the built-in SQL Server…

Greetings Wasim. Getting the number of servers per domain and/or per WSUS server can be obtained from the stock WSUS Server Computers Info report, which is found in the Windows Server Update Services report category. A simple solution is to group by the desired columns, and the Group Header line for each group will provide…

The "Computers with approved update percentages" report in the Windows Server Update Services report category cannot currently be enhanced to filter on Release Date, even though that filter is available in the Updates datasource. The Report Builder returns a "multiple datasource" error, which it should not be doing for…

I'm looking for a process that would help me uninstall the program either remotely or via GPO when a user logs in Have you tried MSIEXEC /X {ProductID} combine that with PSEXEC and you get remote capabilities

When did you create the WSUS signing certificate? Have you installed KB2720211, and if so, before or after creating the WSUS signing certificate? Have you deployed KB2661254 to your client systems?

With a couple of minor modifications, the system report "Computer Update Status Approved Updates Not Installed" should get you exactly what you need. The key is how you identify the updates that are "missing for at least X days", and there are a few different ways you might approach this, depending on your specific need.…

Can you give me a bit more detail on the sequence of events in this process. How is MDT2012 fitting into this process; I'm assuming you're launching an Update Deployment task from Patch Manager -- but is this before, or after, MDT completes the full OS deployment (including a system restart)?

Start here: SolarWinds Knowledge Base :: Troubleshooting third-party packages that return the state, "Failed to download" Most likely, because you were having space issues, the publishing event was not able to complete (e.g. create the CAB and copy it to ~\WSUSContent). The KB article advises to run wsusutil reset, which…

Before attempting to deploy a package, please confirm that the client computer(s) of interest actually report the update as NotInstalled in the console. If the update is NotApplicable, it won't deploy. The above error sometimes occurs when the update is NotApplicable. Also the above error can occur when the client…

Greetings Matt. There is no canned report in Patch Manager that provides this information, but it is a question we see from time to time, and it's something that can be done. It involves modifying a Managed Computer Inventory task to capture the registry value on the client systems that contains the LastLoggedIn user, and…

Inasmuch as the person responsible for these attacks has been identified and the entire Cryptolocker command and control infrastructure is now shutdown, what else do you think would be appropriate? Russian hacker engineered dazzling worldwide crime spree

I'm not quite understanding why you are *creating* a package to update Adobe Reader? Patch Manager automatically synchronizes the Adobe Reader v11 catalog, and Adobe publishes ready-to-use Reader updates based on their MSP. In addition, Adobe also publishes a FULL installer which is packaged and made available via the…

You can, and should, remove the downloaded binary files associated with legacy updates. You can step through each vendor node and group by the file download status icon and then sort by Creation Date to identify older updates or you can do that in one pass from the All Packages node. Use the "Delete Content" action to…

Can I get some easy instructions on how to deploy this? I don't know about "easy". :-) As relates to using the MST, this would be a place to start: http://knowledgebase.solarwinds.com/kb/questions/4187/How+to+include+a+transform+file+(MST)+with+an+MSI+software+package As relates to building a package, in general, I would…

Clarification, exactly which package are you using? The "Adobe Packages" node contains Full Installer packages for *READER* only. They will not update an Acrobat Professional installation. The "Adobe Systems, Inc. Packages" node contains content published by Adobe. There are four different catalogs available from Adobe: *…

For the AD fail... drill into the component list for that application and look at which component(s) are listed as failing. For the Linux Script component, it looks like a bug in the script. Does the script require user interaction? Does it require permissions that don't exist when run by the monitor? For the Apache…

You have a couple of things at work here. First, if the build number reported in the console is 3.2.7600.226 then you've not installed any WSUS patches (KB2720211 or KB2734608), so be sure you're getting the version number from the console itself, and not from the About->Help screen. (See SolarWinds KB4107 for more…

What other rules did you create? What is the exact configuration of the rule in your Installed Ruleset.

All forums in Thwack are available via RSS. (That's how I found this message.) From the main page of the Web Help Desk forum, on the right side, under Actions, click on "View feeds" next to the RSS icon. From there you can choose the type of feed you'd like.

Greetings Christopher It is not possible to schedule the automatic approval, that happens during the upstream server synchronization with Microsoft; although you can use Patch Manager to discretely schedule when that synchronization occurs, rather than using the native once-per-day scheduling offered by the WSUS console.…
