This behavior you describe above, within the scope of a duplicated (or user-created package) with regard to the console cache issues has been fixed in v1.85. (By extension it is also fixed with respect to SolarWinds provided packages.) It is expected that PackageBoot will be overwritten as a result of synchronization, so…

Greetings Jeff. I believe the original issue (which was migrated over from the EminentWare forums site, so we've lost the identity of the original poster) was related to a customer-specific issue with the solarwinds.com SSL certificate. Is your question one of curiosity, or are you experiencing issues with catalog…

Hmmm. that was the page I was reading. I'll take a second look for the CM2012 guidance. I missed that the first time.

Regarding the EULA..... what the packaging team reports is that, in the case of RealPlayer, the EULA is actually presented POST-installation. It is, of necessity, a per-user event; there is no way to suppress the presentation of the EULA using the installer.

You can only buy the current release. I'll check internally and see if we have a scenario that addresses the fact that 7.x is the only "military approved" version.

If clients are successfully communicating with the WSUS server, as this diagnostic output demonstrates, but not appearing in the WSUS computer groups, almost always this is caused by a duplicate SusClientID. Launch the WIndows Update Agent Maintenance & Repair Tool in Patch Manager, select the "Delete SusClientID" and…

Argh.. I just learned we changed this up in Patch Manager v2 ... old habits die hard, I guess. Navigate to the Patch Manager System Configuration node. In the center pane, launch the Log Adjuster tool, and set the logging level to "Verbose".

The WSUS Inventory Task should not take four hours to run, and for optimal use of reporting in Patch Manager, it should be run daily. For comparison purposes, my WSUS Inventory task ran this morning in 40 minutes. What is the configuration of your WSUS server? How many updates are synchronized to your WSUS server? How many…

This is the part of that dialog you want to check:

7. I selected Application Monitor Templates and there was AppInsight for Exchange. I then Ticked it and selected Assign to Node 8. On the Set up AppInsight for Exchange I entered the details for the Exchange Server that I wanted to monitor and then clicked the Test Connection button and got and error message about…

and then step 5 mentions "Enter your Exchange credentials when prompted". After adding the node, and enabling "AppInsight" from the List Resources screen, when you navigate to All Applications and click on the Microsoft Exchange application, it should launch the setup wizard (if the remote Exchange mailbox server is not…

I'm confused, you've already migrated WSUS and you're still using SQL Server 2008 Express Edition on Windows Server 2012? No sorry the new 2012r2 server where the new wsus install has sql 2008r2 express. Yeah, I figured out my confusion, and then deleted that section of my response. Apparently not before you got a chance…

All reports in Patch Manager will be inclusive of all updates synchronized/published to the WSUS server. To create separate reports, use the "Update Source" field. It supports two values: "Microsoft" or "Other". Filter on the desired value. I think that part of this conversation appears to relate to the process of…

If it's just a matter of having an "available" console session for each site, there's no real value in the investment of an Application Server for that purpose. Those console sessions, if used, can latch onto an Application Server via the WAN. I have been led to believe that no matter which application server you point the…

The client will automatically download the file from the WSUS server, but not immediately upon availability at the WSUS server, rather that event is triggered when the client performs it's next scheduled detection and thus recognizes that the update is needed, approved, and the file is available for download. You can…

Okay, there's a certificate there. Is it the correct certificate? From the Patch Manager console, select the WSUS server node, right-click, and select "Software Publishing Certificate" from the menu. Note the Expiration Date (should be sometime in 2017 or 2018). Click on the Elipses to the right of the Certificate field,…

That may well be the case. But if that's how it is, that's how it is, and you'll have to account for those possibilties in your package declarations. OR... you could simply launch a Software Uninstall task from Computer Explorer -> Installed Software and target it to all the systems that need JRE7 uninstalled. NOTE ALSO..…

I would like to publish a package only to the Integration WSUS site from the PAS and not all other site. Is it possible?How can i proceed? Greetings Baptiste. It is not possible. Locally published packages must be published to the upstream server and they will replicate to all downstream servers. Of course, if the package…

SSL has absolutely nothing to do with Local Publishing. You can do Local Publishing With SSL, which requires *two* certificates: a CodeSigning Certificate for publishing and a WebSite Certificate for SSL Or you can do Local Publishing without SSL, which requires only the CodeSigning Certificate, and that cert never gets…

Followed all 4 guides, but my Cleanup Task (just selected the first option) runs into a timeout (after only 3 minutes). Yes, it's going to do this. It's a manifestation of not having done the maintenance previously. Restart the task and let it run until it times out again. Rinse and repeat until it completes. What's…

Nor are there any "After applying package" tasks that I know of, other than standard Applicability and Installed Rules. Where should I look so I can verify? YOU created one! To perform the XCOPY of the XML file! :-) I added the "Continue with next action" to the "Install anyconnect" step. What should I do to ensure that…

I'd be happy to remove any sample actions. I don't believe that I have added any. Where should I look so I can verify? All of these are SAMPLE actions.

I'm merely speculating at this point; authoritative answers would require inspecting the WindowsUpdate.log to determine exactly what happened. A key point, though, is that the steps must be performed in exactly the right sequence, and allowing for completion of the previous step. 1. After expiring the original package, it…

Check the "Use 32-bit Registry" checkbox in all rules where you reference the WOW6432Node tree. On a 64-bit system, it's going to try to find that node in the 64-bit hive, and it's not in the 64-bit hive, it's in the 32-bit hive.

The way RES works keeps me from having to install all my printers on the Citrix servers, but I DO have to have all the drivers installed ahead of time for RES to use Hmmm.. interesting. Seems to me like this environment is complicating matters in two different ways: One, not installing the drivers on the Citrix servers may…

This one is updated: 2012-07-1621:20:52:5129807c8SetupClient version: Core: 7.6.7600.256 Aux: 7.6.7600.256

It is true that the inventory data will be stored in a separate database; however, reports, by default, read from ALL Management Groups, so there would be no impact to your existing custom reports. Only if you wanted to filter those reports by domain would additional customization be necessary. In fact, because the report…

The heirarchical concept is valid -- test in "Program Files (x86) on an x64 system and test in "Program Files" on an x86 system, but the rules themselves are still flawed. You've incorrectly defined the common path value .. it should be PROGRAM_FILES not PROGRAM_FILES_COMMON. Second, you only need to backpath the reference…

I'll look into the original ORDER BY syntax, which seems that it should be valid on the surface since it's used in a SELECT field. ORDER BY convert(varchar(10), cast(CustomPollerStatus.Status as date), 112) ASC But I think the issue may be the attempt to convert a CAST() value. You're taking CustomPollerStatus.Status,…
