You blacked out the hostname in the error message... which is a critical piece of information, but it boils down to this: Either the SonicWall is refusing the connection on port 6130. Or your PC is refusing the connection on port 6130. Is your PC running a firewall? Did you create a firewall allow rule on your PC to accept…

To use the reporting system in Patch Manager does require the creation of an inventory task. There are two types of inventory tasks: * WSUS Inventory -- captures information from the WSUS server about updates, approvals, computers, groups, and update status on those computers. * Managed Computer Inventory -- captures…

Worthy of note here is yesterday's (5/21) release of SolarWinds Web Help Desk v12, which (among many other new features) offers native integration with Alerts from NPM, NCM, and SAM.

Normally we would prefer to include the file direct from the chrome site; however, in this instance, the wrong file has been posted for Chrome 20. The file available on the Chrome site is listed as chrome_installer.exe, but it’s actually the Chrome Updater file (which will not install silently via WUA). FileHippo extracted…

Greetings Todd. This is possible, but to do it you'll have to explicitly list each child group as an individual group to include in the filter selection. Also, it probably won't be feasible to do it interactively, since you would have to provide the semi-colon delimited group name string in exactly the sequence it's stored…

Generally, no, but a few points need to be clarified before that answer can be authoritative. You note that you're currently using PM v1.85 and CM2007R3 to patch only the servers, but that statement is somewhat contradictory. When used with Configuration Manager, Patch Manager does not actually deploy patches, it only…

Do not include the braces on the ProductID.

Yes, you need to install the Dell OpenManage Inventory Agent which is available in the Dell catalog content. That package will install the requisite Dell WMI namespaces that will allow the other Dell packages to be properly detected and installed.

None of the above, actually. I recommend installing the Primary Patch Manager server on its own system and installing the console on a remote workstation (from wherever you manage Configuration Manager, which ideally is NOT the Site Server). But of the three options presented, Option C is the most preferable.

I am looking to pull some patching information from Patch Manager to dispay within another system. The easiest way to achieve this objective is to define a report using the Report Builder that gives you exactly what you want, and then load the generated SQL code from the Report Properties screen. Copy and paste the SQL…

This is a known issue in DRS v10.0 and was fixed in a hotfix that should be available for download in your Customer Portal. The hotfix consists of a replacement DNTU.exe file, which can simply be copied into the existing installation folder.

Your assumption is correct, both the registry value and the file must exist, and the File Version must match the specified criteria for the rule to return True; otherwise, if the registry value is missing or the file is missing, the rule will return False. Incidentally, a PreRequisite Rule for the Registry KEY Exists is a…

ADDLOCAL=Feature_BackupEngine,Feature_BackupServer,Feature_ManagementTools /L*v %TEMP%\AltaroInstall.log The issue here is attempting to use environment variables in the command line parameters. The command line parameters are normally evaluated by the Command Shell (as they were for your interactive install) prior to the…

For Windows 7 support, you'll need to upgrade to at least Dameware v6.9. dameware.com • View topic - DameWare Version 6 Product History

Sean, NPM 10,.7 can be installed on any currently supported version of Microsoft SQL Server with any service pack level. This includes: * SQL Server 2005 (any service pack level) * SQL Server 2008 (any service pack level) * SQL Server 2008 R2 (any service pack level) * SQL Server 2012 (any service pack level) However..…

Greetings Joe The information from the Windows Security Center is not currently available via the Patch Manager inventory functionality. Sounds like a great feature request. One way you can obtain installation state information on installed AV products is via the Installed Software inventory. While it does require that you…

I was unable to reproduce this issue on my own system. I successfully downloaded the files for all four iTunes 11.1 packages. Have you recently downloaded files for another iTunes package? The files are generically named (i.e. iTunesSetup.exe and iTunes64Setup.exe). Is it possible that the Patch Manager server downloaded…

I am trying to create a report that will show domain users who are members of the local "Administrators" group. There appears to be a 'bug' in the Groups report in Local Users, Groups, and Logon Information, and the last field "Members" is not being generated in the SQL query. Please edit the Groups report, and drag the…

1. This seems to be a non-relational database. As network engineer, this is fine with me, but I'm not sure how our SQL DBAs will feel about this. I'd like to throw some practical thought into this discussion. I've heard from a couple different places about perceived "complications" because SQL Server is not being used. A…

If the Registry Value is populated with %SystemRoot%\System32 that somewhat makes the use of a registry value pointless.. since the actual variable is defined by %SystemRoot% and the file presumably has a fixed location, always in the ~\System32 folder. If that's true, in every case, I would just use a simple File Version…

Does anyone now if there is a document to walk through the upgrade process from 1.80 to 2.0.2207? Typically, if any special requirements exist, they will be covered in the Release Notes. For the upgrade from 1.8 to 2.0, I'm not aware of any such special requirements. Download the updater and double-click from an…

This is quite possible, Jeff, if the Patch Manager server and the Orion server are on different systems and have different versions. If the message is coming from the Orion console, that would indicate that the console software installed on the Orion server is the older '455' build. The most likely cause for this is that…

I think I need some more detail on what you're experiencing. I'm good up until the last sentence, so I understand that when you use Patch Manager to install the MSI package, that Windows Update shows that the package is installed. (Although the provided graphic suggests that nothing has been installed since TeamViewer8 was…

After some digging, we found that the downloaded package is in a totally different folder path: C:\Program Files\SolarWinds\Patch Manager\Server\packages\publisher\55de0bc2-d1f1-4c3b-b6de-8634ef9a98f5 Correct, this is the source path for the package on the Application Role server.. Message: The process cannot access the…

Ahh.. here we go.. more details in the MRC forum post. :-) Gives you a black screen IN the MRC software... or on the remote system's display? Is the remote system a multi-monitor system? What are the configured screen resolution(s) of the remote system? What indications to you get on the remote system (i.e. does the…

You do not need a new instance for the Patch Manager database. The primary database can happily reside in the same instance that houses the Site Server database. However, if you find it necessary to deploy any additional secondary Patch Manager servers (e.g. an Automation Server to handle distributed WMI or cross-version…

Greetings Lalitha. It is possible to create the report for a specific WSUS Target Group, and there are a couple of ways you can go about doing this. The first thing to note is that the Computer Update Status report that you modified to get your current report uses a very basic datasource (also called "Computer Update…

Greetings Scott. Clients do not report to the Patch Manager server; rather the Patch Manager server retrieves from the WSUS server what ever data is available at the time of the console query. If the Patch Manager server does not reflect accurate information, this could be caused by a couple of things: * SERVER level…

What I'm thinking about doing is installing a automation role service on the SCCM server and connect back to the PAS. That's half the requirement. (I'm assuming that SCCM 2012 will be installed on a WS2012 server. If not, different requirements apply.) In addition, you will need to install the Patch Manager/CM2012 console…

The only thing this server syncs from is Microsoft Update I think I'm being confused by this statement. If the only thing the server syncs from is Microsoft Update, then why the need for a filtered view of updates that basically is designed to show ALL updates? (Btw, you can quick view this information by enabling the…
