dang

Took it yesterday, thank you wabbott​

Very good guide, even though I've deployed multiple 3rd party packages through Package Manager, I still learned a few things from this article.

Same here......

I agree with shawndiaz​, I know I took the survey and haven't seen new points. I appreciate you looking into it lindsey.serrano​

Quiz and or e-cards are always good things!!

Very nice, great write up!

ecklerwr1 those answers worked for me

Just answered today's question correctly, but no points Was curious if you could take a look wabbott​

I had the same issue on the same question.wabbott​

When I ran the command via a command prompt it errored, so I modified it a bit until it got the correct results, looks like there was an extra ' in it: wmic product where "name like 'Java 8%%'" call uninstall /nointeractive Not sure what the /c was supposed to do, but that also errored, so I took that out.

Thank you!!

dbetlow: When I run the standard report, I get a list of the following: domain, computer name, name (directory) which is blank, drive (directory) which is also blank, path (directory) blank, etc...etc... I would edit the directory report, and then add what directory you are looking for, to see if it exists. When you run…

In the report itself is what I was referring to:

I've not used msp's before, however, I did notice that the Adobe Acrobat updates all use the msp files. You may want to take a look at one of the Acrobat updates to see if they are doing something different to make them work.

Done all the above on the 2016 servers (which also run WSUS) same error as before may end up rebuilding the wsus server to see if that helps the situation.......

Sorry, can't tell you why that happens, it certainly doesn't take more than 10-30 seconds for me to publish 3rd party packages.

If you synchronize your solarwinds catalog, it's there now

I got the same issue as ahthomas​ we have 1600+ servers/workstations and when I ran the report, it filled the c:\ drive on, on the sql server, with gigs of data in the tempdb, never finished.

Thank you for this.

Works exactly as described, very easy to see what in your enterprise needs to be rebooted.

This is one way to do that: https://support.solarwinds.com/Success_Center/Patch_Manager/How_to_Uninstall_a_Program_Using_the_Patch_Manager_Computer_Explorer

Synchronize your SolarWinds Update Catalog, it's there now.

No, it just worked for me, published all 3

There are things you can't control on Win10 with a 2008R2 domain server, you'd be better off going with 2016 if you can, then you should see the Win10 boxes start to 'obey'

ended up reinstalling the 2.1.3 update, and it fixed the issues I was having.

Hey rodri, The main difference is who publishes the patches, the one the support guys and I showed you, are published by Adobe, the other is published by Solarwinds.

15.023.20070 is the latest reader and acrobat version that I'm currently pushing. Feb 17th was the release date for those, and they came directly from the Adobe packages: Administration and Reporting---->Software Publishing--->Adobe Systems, Inc. Packages Hope this helps

This is what I used as a guide when I need to uninstall using patch manager, and it works very well. https://thwack.solarwinds.com/message/184857#184857

Under the Synchronization Settings, there is an option for SolarWinds to send you an e-mail Administration and Reporting ---->Software Publishing then on the right hand side, there's the Synchronization Settings, it's in there.

Yes you can, I'd use the previous Flash Player update as a template to go by.
