No the 1000 pages is because it list the server name and then every patch needed for the system. Also, I am aware that I could run the report 250 times and that would give me all of the servers, but I was trying to have a report that includes all servers, but with breaks in it after each server?

Thank you very much!

Yes, I am aware of how to inventory it, but how do I tie the inventory task to the update task? I want to apply the update managmenet task to install Security and Critical updates to all computers in an AD OU, but I don't want it to run if the target computer has less than 1Gb of free space. I'm trying to get a more…

Hi, supplementally to what Tonya has said, you can specify command line arguments to use when creating or editing a package. In the case of a MSI, you can add the TRANSFORMS=mytransform.mst. (check my syntax, memory isnt what is used to be) Then, the next question is how do we get the actual transform down with the…

Hi Kelly, I probably should have given a little more detail. We have had Eminentware up and running for a couple years now. It's been working just fine with the existing credentials until now. It just all of a sudden quit working. Eminentware resides on a Windows XP system. WSUS resides on a Windows 2003 server with SQL…

Just to let you know what I found out about this issue. Yes it will work on a Ubuntu machine running virtualbox for a windows machine. However you will need to set your virtualbox up with a bridged network adapter instead of the "Network Address Translation" (NAT) mode which virtualbox uses by default. for example on my…

Hi Lawrence, The account being use have access to the files during "Configuration manager Agent Repair" to a unc path with the sccm client installation files. I am still seeing it failing. WMI Health Check: Succeeded ConfigMgr Client Agent Uninstall (CCMSETUP): Failed What else can it be. Thanks.

In fact I think the problem is that the certificate is using the FQDN and the test is done with the server name. After doing the solution 2 and register again by entering the FQDN as server name now I've got a reminder telling me to add my server (with its FQDN name) to a management group. It's already in the management…

I am having this exact same error. i am able to succesfully connect using wbemtest.exe to the server. however when i try to run a report now or go to any tab in computer explorer i get the following error Source: Data Grid Server (STRW007021) Device: pdgmsoad02.mso.net Details: Computer connect Exception occurred at…

well unfortunately non of what was mentioned worked, I refreshed several times , once , twice, but nothing worked. The link helps someone who has already provisioned, in my case it can't even get a first provisioning to publish a certificate. I am stuck.

Hi Tony, As mentioned in email, there was a missing element in the additional files section of the package. That has been fixed and a new catalog uploaded. Your next synch will pick up the revision. If you have any additional questions / issue, please let us know. -tonya

Thanks for the reply, but we already watched the videos and read the guide beforehand creating our package. Today I tried to recreate almost the exact setup as in the second video with no success. Still the same error. Any ideas? Thanks!

Use a WMI query... Select * from Win32_Battery where BatteryStatus <> 0

What about Server 2008? Any support there now or in the future?

It seems that every time I run updates on my Eminentware server I have to go through the process of clearing the two keys in the registry, changing the password on the ewdgssvc-9862 userid, change the password on the Eminentware Data Grid Service set for automatic startup, and then reenter the passwords for the…

Also, when using the .\Administrator credential, the password on all targeted systems must be identical. If a user has changed the local Administrator password and it no longer matches what is stored in the Extension Pack database, then access will be denied.

Hi Sean, I tried several but it looks like any report won't give output. The message when i run a report, in the left down corner of the report it says "No records return" I already rebooted the server bur so far no success. Hans

Hi Todd, Thanks for the update. We will also shortly be publishing the WMI providers in our 3rd Party Updates catalog so that they may be deployed like any of the other packages we offer. -Kelly

Just to verify. The EminentWare Database can be moved to a different server SQL server? And can it be moved to SQL 2008 also? One other question. We are looking to create a 'Approved Application List' for our workstations. We would like to run a report that would compare desktop software that we have verified as approved…

Nevermind, the URI displayed in your software seems to be ignored by the client when downloading. Since the patching server is configured using the FQDN on the client, it's using that as part of the download string instead. I didn't bother to actually test it and went by what your software was reporting. In the…

Hi , I have sent an email of to your sales team regarding this. I actually think this should be something to think about. Regards

Be careful in what order you do this. I modified my GPO after using the client certificate management tool and ended up with duplicate certificate errors when going into the certificates tab. It doesn't seem to cause issues but who knows what unexpected behavior may crop up down the road. Even though it says it failed to…

We have the windows firewall turned off via Group Policy. File and Print sharing is also enabled by Group Policy. So would I need to now create a GP that will allow all those ports listed in that PDF? Filed under: active directory

Yes i did change the password of the service accountafter stopping the service. I followed John's instructions. However, this part: "3) Clear out the value data in the 'MEKey' and 'MPKey' values - but do not delete these values. If you have done this correctly, you should see the two values and the 'Data' column should…

Yes, My intent would be to install updates first then shut down. I already have a shutdown task and I can certainly create an update task but you are correct, it would be a challenge to have one complete before the other. Thats why i was wondering if we could (feature request here) nest tasks with a priority number or…

Dell's WMI extensions? I've pushed eminentware WMI package... is there another for Dell info? edit: ahh, openmanage client. No prob.

Thanks Kelly. I am very excited to learn of the Adobe Acrobat 9 updates. I am specifically looking for Acrobat 7.0 products, in particular Adobe Acrobat 7.1.0 cumulative, 7.1.3 and 7.1.4 Thanks again.

Sorry for not explaining the context. In our corporate environemtn we avoid having Program Groups in the Start Menu that are of no relevance for our user community and the "Eminentware WMI Provider" with an uninstall shortcut that neither could nor should be used is such an item. Therefore I have made a package that…
