you have to remake the task

I think this ended up in the wrong forum? this is supposed to be for patch manager unless i had a stroke or something

Im curious to see any input as I dont think many if any people use this function. Sorry im not contributing to this

I havent seen a CC catalog. I believe CC has its own updater, I know our users with CC have to do it on their own and I believe adobe forces those updates on them even if they dont want them. I really should check on that to make sure we are compliant, i hadnt really thought of CC much.

The data that displays is not real time. It will only display what status was at the last detect now. The update scan tab runs wmi calls and then gives you up to that time info. I have detect and report now tasks twice a day but if I change something in that time I can run a detect now on the target group or that single PC…

Are you looking to use Registry targeting instead of Console targeting? While its possible to use the registry I would suggest using the console to add and change computers as its much easier in the long run.

Since you edited the MSI by inserting the license key did that invalidate the digital signature and you need to create a new one?

You can also request it be added here Patch Manager Feature Requests

a lot of times the packages get revised by oracle so the MD5 doesnt match and solarwinds has to redo the update. You can either wait for solarwinds to revise it or edit the package and select I already have this file, point it to the location you downloaded it to, and override the detection.

Its viewable in the MMC. Orion is pretty close to useless for use with patch manager in my opinion.

Interesting, its not listed as a product here Free Tools & Trials

You can go to Administration and Reporting > Software Publishing and then on the right is the auto publishing of 3rd party updates to wsus wizard. It will not work for anything without a direct download link though

I cant remember off the top of my head here but there is licenses for 100 Nodes. The Nodes is the key word there because there are three things that can be counted as nodes and managed computers is one of them. You can have 100 managed computers, 100 other thing, and 100 other thing and still be at that same 100 node…

as for .NET I believe you should be able to go to your WSUS products and classifications and uncheck the box for those. For Itanium unfortunately Microsoft doesnt seperate those so theres no way not to sync them that I know of. You can search for them via text filter and decline them though. Click the filter icon for title…

Import this report I made. You can input whatever search term you want I.E. Java and it will report with OS and IP everything with Java Intalled Programs with OS and IP.xdq

Patch manager may have different updates offered than Microsoft Update because of WSUS synchronization settings. When setting up WSUS you have to choose what products and classifications of updates to pull from Microsoft and if you dont have something selected that gets offered in MU then scans (like Nessus) will show that…

Ive had a problem with the x64 version of itunes for the last 2 patches. The traditional workaround is to right click on the package and go to edit, then advance to the packageboot screen where you can select the radio button for I already have this package and then point patch manager to where you have it downloaded. Last…

import this report, it still works on the current version Pending Reboot (with Details)

http://www.solarwinds.com/documentation/patchman/docs/PatchManagerAdministratorGuide.pdf Page 132 is the start that explains the security roles and you should be able to find what role your situation requires

Cmon Solarwinds, this is getting ridiculous. Why are we having to chase down updates that are needed and had been provided perfectly fine and in very good time in the past. Please, I dont want to have to jump ship and learn a new system because things are so unreliable here.

Patch manager just sits on top of WSUS and really just adds more control, third party patching and reporting capabilities. It doesnt change anything that WSUS does, so while we may only have a few patches to deal with ( IE, security, non-security, .NET) instead of individual KBs like we have now, it really doesnt change…

You can put your WSUS server and patch manager on subnet Z and have it manage A-D just fine. You want one Primary Application Server. You do not NEED additional roles or downstream WSUS servers in the other locations but they can be helpful, especially if you have a poor WAN link to the other locations. In the patch…

I added my custom report that I use to view all versions of Java that are on PCs Computers with Java installed You can download that and go to reporting and then import it. You can also edit that report when you get it imported to show any software you like.

Patch manager does not patch Cisco products. The easiest way imho to update webex is just to enable automatic updating and installation when anyone signs in to the webex service site. If you want to do it via patch manager its doable, just go to the service site and download the newest version and create a package yourself…

ding​ or kellytice​ do you guys have any info on what the heck is going on?

Unless you have a very specific need there should only be a possibility of 2 versions of IE. IE9 for Windows Vista and IE11 for everything else. Those are the only 2 supported browsers from Microsoft. If you are up to date on patches you should be fine.

This is taken from the system report Computer Update Status Approved Updates Not Installed that is listed under Windows Server Update Services Analytics. Is this what you were looking for? Its a query on the WSUS SQL DB. SELECT DISTINCT dbo.ComputerUpdateStatus.domainworkgroup AS [Domain or Workgroup (Update Server)],…

It should work except maybe not for servers heres wmi 4.0 Download Windows Management Framework 4.0 from Official Microsoft Download Center .net 4.6.2 Download Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.2 (Offline Installer) for Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, …

Try changing it from the registry path to the file path with version for the applicability. Everything looks ok but ive had problems before having to use one or the other for different applications

MSI is the native windows installer format. EXE usually just wraps one or more MSI files and other files if needed. MSI gives you known commands to use for silent installs and the like, can be edited easily with orca or similar programs, and generally can always be counted on to be able to uninstall as well whereas EXE can…
