We did flush the DNS and regenerated the DNS and in NSLOOKUP still shows the old IP and the new.

I did happen to find this list but is this list current? Are there any others that don't happen to be on this list. Sent from my iPad

Couldn't this be done by using the the Windows Update Agent Maintenance and Repair options? That is if this is happening on computers distributed across a large area. He can delete the Software Distribution Folder and sub-folders plus more. Though as a test I'd definitely do this first. If you want to do this via command…

After doing some digging into the VIM_HostNodes table I'm seeing something similar to the nodes table. Do you have any examples on adding a virtual host to Orion? I'm not seeing all of this information coming from the DiscoveredNodes nor the VIM_DiscoveredNodes tables so I'm wondering where this information is polled from.…

Thank you! This is a great step in the right direction. I've used that bit of code to add the vim portion to my discovery but how do I handle the VM hosts it finds? Currently I've added the virtual host as any other node into Orion and after a rediscovery it will detect the vendor properly. The problem is that in the…

That's my thoughts as well but when looking at the detailed stats in the InterfaceTraffic view I'm seeing weight numbers in the hundreds. Then comparing that number to the polling interval and how many polls I'd do in a week the numbers don't really add up to the weekly averaged data point weight value. So does the formula…

Thank you for your response Garvin! This workgroup is attached to a network that is primarily AD. It's VLAN is seperate from the core network but runs to the same internet connection. Network Discovery is enabled on all workgroup machines. This browser tool you speak of, do you have one you've used and like? We have Patch…

Try taking a look at the Orion.APM.DynamicEvidence table. You can tie this back to Orion.APM.CurrentComponentStatus and from there to Orion.APM.Component or Orion.APM.Application. Note the DynamicEvidence table keeps the statistics and messages as 2 separate rows where the NumericData columns of one will be null and the…

When trying the file exists method did you give it more than just that the file existed? Maybe try giving it the size of the file as well as I'm assuming the update you are pushing will have a larger file size due to the patching that was done to it. Then in your installed rule you'll set your check as file exists with…

Found out that it was the fragmentation on the database being so high. We had fragmentation on for DB maintenance but it was not completing that step. Did a manual defragmentation and now it's fairly snappy. Still looking into the DB maintenance issue.

This would really depend on how many nodes you would be monitoring along with how many elements of those nodes, interfaces are elements, would be monitored as well. Another determining factor would be how often you poll the devices for data. SQL Express has a DB size limit of 10GB if memory serves and once that's reached I…

Thank you very much! That confused us very much as we thought the default would be to fail.

Ok found the other example and now I've got a functioning add nodes function. Code below for those interested. Note - I'm pulling back an array for NewNodeID so I have to state which element I'm interested in. Your code may be different so YMMV. function AddInterface ($NewNodeID) { Write-Host "Entering AddInterface…

Also was playing with the XML way of things and I'm getting a funky error. " Invoke-SwisVerb : Type 'System.Management.Automation.PSObject' with data contract name 'PSObject:http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/System.Management.Automat ion' is not expected. Add any types not known statically to the list of known typ es…

One more question about where these files are stored, are they deleted afterwards? It'd be a huge security breach if sensitive information were to be left behind for users to discover.

I've been using another contributers suggestion of doing a discovery on the IP subnet range some of the nodes are on and using the Advanced filtering options to add the interfaces I don't want from these nodes into the ignore list. Problem I'm facing is that attempting to enter multiple filtering criteria does not work.…

Seems we got it to work by turning on the SQL Browser service. Interesting that Orion doesn't need it to access the DB but DPA does to set up it's DB.

Are these OIDs polled already by the latest NPM release? Do we have to create UnDPs on this stillcahunt?

I figured it out. The root directory selected to be added is ignored so the directory you wish to add needs to be in directory you don't want to be attached. I'm seeing this directory in the c:\windows\softwaredistribution\download\install folder.

I want to check to see if when I'm including a directory if it's including the root folder and all sub folders or if it's just adding the content of the root folder and keeping the sub folder structure intack. Where would I go about finding this information out?

I've tried adding the directory using "Include additional files with the package" but it never installes the directory. What is suppose to happen is the directory gets copied to Program Files but after the update installs and says it has done so correctly that directory does not exist. Searching the C:\ drive turns up…

Any thoughts on this issue? What has changed so that 1.9 would assign pollers properly but 1.10 won't?

As Nathatnwilson stated but that is in SWQL notation. In SQL it'd be in the table called Actions in the column called Description.

Great information guys, Thanks!

Thank you! I wasn't aware these OIDs existed and we are now testing the servers for their existence. This will save a lot of headaches with perl programing if we do have them available.

Have you tried using a Universal Device Poller against these? You'll have to find the proper OID to poll but that should give you the data you're looking for. Then you could place all the data on it's own view onto the Orion console.

thank you for this info. I found something else on the forums but it says I'd need a CA. Was hoping we could do this another way.

And I've answered my own question. Turns out kb2734608 was necessary. Thank you.

I've got none of the event 364. When I use update management and attempt to approve or decline an update it does attempt to change the status but throws a failure. When I go back to the main data grid and right click the update and click approve to change it's approval it returns a success. Thought when the client attempts…

Now here's something strange, I try to approve or decline those updates that won't download and Patch Manager can no longer change those approval statuses. Something wrong with Patch Manager instead?
