Because the package had already been deployed to a client there are a couple of additional steps necessary. First, for any package deployed to the client that's going to be replaced, it should be expired on the WSUS server and the client forced to detect so the client knows that the cached metadata is expired. (This is why…

What version of Core, and which product(s)/versions do you have installed? You're posting in the SAM forum, so I'll assume you have SAM, but what version will be relevant also.

No. Microsoft has already announced that this update will be released to WU/WSUS in February 2014. See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/advisory/2862973, particularly the section titled "Advisory FAQ" which expressly identifies when it will be released to MU.

Closing this thread with the information that was exchanged in a separate conversation: Patch Manager provides supplemental functionality to the native WSUS environment. It does not replace or eliminate any of the native WSUS functionality. The Windows Update Agent continues to do all of the things it did before Patch…

I'd venture that what impacts one system is what impacts the other 299, so you troubleshoot this by picking *ONE* system and focusing there. The basic issue here is that "The RPC Server is unavailable" when running wbemtest almost always means that port 135 is blocked by a firewall. Given these very common behavioral…

We've done two Solarwinds Lab episodes that talk about QoE (i.e. DPI). [VIDEO] SolarWinds Lab #16: Configuring Deep Packet Inspection in NPM Version 11 and the previous episode which can be viewed at SolarWinds Lab

This does seem to be an implementation bug. I'll refer it to the Product team for investigation. As for a workaround, are there no more reliable sources for doing a version check? Typically version checks are done by file. Sometimes a product embeds the version in a registry value. Let's talk about the need to use…

So can you please send as a link for step by step instruction to achieve our objective http://www.solarwinds.com/documentation/en/flarehelp/patchman/

As I understand it... The Directory Service Query Tool is used to query Active Directory (via LDAP) to return users and groups to create access accounts to use LEM. The Directory Service Log Connector is used to query the AD logs to return event data. As far as I know there's no crossover between either. You use the DSQT…

We know there were issues with earlier upgrades because of the changes in folder locations; however, I'm concerned that you encountered this issue (again) after upgrading v1.85 to v2.0. I'm inquiring internally on this question; however, it would also be helpful to open a Support Ticket on this issue so there is an actual…

I reinstalled everything on a brand new server 2012 R2. **With less resources than my physical box had. About half the ram Out of curiosity... what OS and hardware existed on the previous installation?
