File Exists rule returning wrong result

andrewm.

I'm trying to create a simple third party package that evaluates as applicable if a file is missing from the client workstation and as installed if the file exists, but the agent is not reporting the expected status of the package.

The size, version and date of the file are irrelevant and may change so I don't want to include them in the test. The problem I have is that if I leave the "Created Date" and "Modified Date" boxes disabled in the rule, the client reports not applicable and logs the following warning:

2013-10-31 09:42:07:652 1248 1ba0 Agent WARNING: Failed to evaluate Installed rule, updateId = {921C6E69-6344-4A56-9668-7D5051F14272}.1, hr = 80070002


2013-10-31 09:42:07:652 1248 1ba0 Agent WARNING: Failed to evaluate Installable rule, updateId = {921C6E69-6344-4A56-9668-7D5051F14272}.1, hr = 80070002

If I enable the check boxes with the default values (03/16/09 12:00:00 AM), then on a client where the file is missing, the warning isn't logged, but the package is still evaluated as not applicable instead of applicable/not installed. The agent returns the same result whether or not the parent folder exists on the client.

My rules are very simple.

Prerequisite:

<sdp:PrerequisiteRule SchemaVersion="1.0">


  <bar:WindowsVersion Comparison="GreaterThanOrEqualTo"MajorVersion="5"MinorVersion="0"ServicePackMajor="4"ServicePackMinor="0"/>


</sdp:PrerequisiteRule>

Applicability:

<sdp:ApplicabilityRule SchemaVersion="1.0">


  <lar:Not>


    <bar:FileExists Path="C:\folder\subfolder\9.1.4.3.5.1-03.txt"/>


  </lar:Not>


</sdp:ApplicabilityRule>

Installed:

<sdp:InstalledRule SchemaVersion="1.0">


  <bar:FileExists Path="C:\folder\subfolder\9.1.4.3.5.1-03.txt"/>


</sdp:InstalledRule>

Interestingly, the packages seems to evaluate exactly as expected if the test file has a simple filename, such as "filename.txt", but something appears to go wrong if I use the example filename "9.1.4.3.5.1-03.txt". I don't know if this is due to the length (14+3 chars), or the multiple dots or something else.

Edit: Title changed to remove reference to file date - problem doesn't seem related to date attribute

    Now I'm quite confused. I tried some more tests with different file names and paths in the applicability rule and I'm including the full results below

    "C:\9.1.4.3.5.1-03.txt" WORKS (returns applicable/not installed)

    "C:\foo.bar.txt" WORKS (returns applicable/not installed), so the problem isn't multiple dots

    "C:\f.o.o.b.a.r-03.txt" FAILS (generates warnings and returns Not Applicable)

    "C:\filename.txt" WORKS (returns applicable/not installed)

    "C:\folder\subfolder\9.1.4.3.5.1-03.txt" FAILS (generates warnings and returns Not Applicable)

    "C:\folder\subfolder\filename.txt" WORKS (returns applicable/not installed)

    "C:\folder\subfolder\1.3.5-7.txt" FAILS (generates warnings and returns Not Applicable)

    "C:\folder\subfolder\f.o.o.b.a.r-03.txt" WORKS (returns applicable/not installed)

    "C:\folder\subfolder\foo.bar.txt" FAILS (generates warnings and returns Not Applicable)

    "C:\folder\subfolder\Patch103.txt" FAILS (generates warnings and returns Not Applicable)

    Any insight would be extremely helpful!

    So it appears that the folder names have some significance. I substituted the folder names in some of my previous examples above. Here are two blocks of data from the log file with verbose tracing on.. It doesn't really clear anything up for me, but this is the log for the failed package testing the actual file path "C:\CharlesRiver\91435\client\Patch103.txt"

    I'm trying to create a simple third party package that evaluates as applicable if a file is missing from the client workstation and as installed if the file exists, but the agent is not reporting the expected status of the package.

    The size, version and date of the file are irrelevant and may change so I don't want to include them in the test.

    You should leave the date values unchecked. Checking the date options would require that the file exist *AND* the file has exactly that creation/modification date.

    Note, regarding testing for the absence of a file, I would suggest using a File Version Rule rather than a NOT File Exists Rule. If you test for File Version LESS THAN <someValue> (as you'll see we do in most of our packages), if that file is ABSENT, then the rule also evaluates as true because the "version" is, in a manner of speaking, less than the file version being looked for. To minimize complications with actual file versions that may exist, you might check for LESS THAN 999.999.999.999.

    Interestingly, the packages seems to evaluate exactly as expected if the test file has a simple filename, such as "filename.txt", but something appears to go wrong if I use the example filename "9.1.4.3.5.1-03.txt".

    I would say this is an important clue.

    I tried some more tests with different file names and paths in the applicability rule and I'm including the full results below

    "C:\9.1.4.3.5.1-03.txt" WORKS (returns applicable/not installed)

    "C:\foo.bar.txt" WORKS (returns applicable/not installed), so the problem isn't multiple dots

    "C:\f.o.o.b.a.r-03.txt" FAILS (generates warnings and returns Not Applicable)

    "C:\filename.txt" WORKS (returns applicable/not installed)

    "C:\folder\subfolder\9.1.4.3.5.1-03.txt" FAILS (generates warnings and returns Not Applicable)

    "C:\folder\subfolder\filename.txt" WORKS (returns applicable/not installed)

    "C:\folder\subfolder\1.3.5-7.txt" FAILS (generates warnings and returns Not Applicable)

    "C:\folder\subfolder\f.o.o.b.a.r-03.txt" WORKS (returns applicable/not installed)

    "C:\folder\subfolder\foo.bar.txt" FAILS (generates warnings and returns Not Applicable)

    "C:\folder\subfolder\Patch103.txt" FAILS (generates warnings and returns Not Applicable)

    Any insight would be extremely helpful!

    There seems to be absolutely no rhyme-nor-reason with the results obtained above. I would be curious about your exact testing methodologies, as it seems you modified and published ten packages to the same client in the space of 41 minutes. It's entirely possible that the client was not evaluating the actual package you intended it to evaluate. That would depend on whether you published revisions of the same package, or published ten separate packages. Was the WUA evaluating one package at a time, or is there a log capture of the results from all ten variations of these packages within the same detection event?

    In any event, the behavior of the Windows Update Agent with respect to any particular rule in the SDP (e.g. this File Exists rule) would be a topic of discussion for Microsoft Support, since the relationships and behavior regarding how the WUAgent interprets the XML and/or deals with circumstances surrounding the filesystem is totally outside the scope of anything Patch Manager can affect. If you believe there is a defect in how the WUAgent handles this rule, you should open a ticket with Microsoft Product Support.

    Thanks for the suggestion. For testing, I delete any previously published test packages, duplicated a template package and changed the applicability and installed rules on each duplicate, then published all test packages. I then performed a detect and report on the client and checked the windowsupdate.log and the status on the wsus server.

    I tried your suggestion of using a file version rule and am still experiencing the issue. I used the following rules:

    <sdp:ApplicabilityRule SchemaVersion="1.0">
    

     <bar:FileVersion Path="C:\CharlesRiver\91435\client\Patch103.txt"Csidl="0"Comparison="LessThan"Version="9.9.9.9"/>
    

     </sdp:ApplicabilityRule>
    


    <sdp:InstalledRule SchemaVersion="1.0">
    

    <lar:Not>
    

     <bar:FileVersion Path="C:\CharlesRiver\91435\client\Patch103.txt"Csidl="0"Comparison="LessThan"Version="9.9.9.9"/>
    

    </lar:Not>
    

    </sdp:InstalledRule>

    And got the following result:

    Only use the File Version rule in the Applicability Ruleset, in place of the previous NOT File Exists rule.

    The Installed Ruleset can use either, but since you don't have an actual version number to test against, a File Version rule in the Installed Ruleset will always return FALSE, ergo the package is never installed, and thus it will either be Not Applicable or Not Installed, even when it shouldn't. You should continue to use the File Exists rule in the Installed Ruleset.

    0x80070002 is:

    0x80070002-2147024894ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUNDThe System cannot find the file specified

    Which in the case where you know that the file actually does exist, suggests that the ACLs are preventing the WUAgent from being able to read the folder/subfolder where the file is actually found.

    I would suggest first testing the package against a known readable to everybody place ... like a subfolder of %ProgramFiles%, or the %windir%\temp folder, so you can eliminate questions about paths and ACLs, and focus on whether there is, or is not, an issue with the filename itself.
