System center configuration manager 2007 software update management




















You configure the criteria only at the top-level site. The following list describes the basic steps for the synchronization process on the top-level site:. The software updates metadata is synchronized from Microsoft Update, and any changes are inserted or updated in the WSUS database. The software updates metadata is stored in the site database as a configuration item. During the software updates synchronization process on the top-level site, the software updates configuration items are replicated to child sites by using database replication.

At the end of the process, the top-level site sends a synchronization request to the child site, and the child site starts the WSUS synchronization. The following list provides the basic steps for the synchronization process on a child primary site or secondary site:. WSUS running on the software update point on the child site synchronizes software updates metadata from WSUS running on the software update point on the parent site.

The secondary site starts the software updates synchronization with the parent primary site. The secondary site is configured as a replica of WSUS running on the parent site. Before you deploy software updates to client computers in Configuration Manager, start a scan for software updates compliance on client computers. For each software update, a state message is created that contains the compliance state for the update.

The state messages are sent in bulk to the management point and then to the site server, where the compliance state is inserted into the site database. The compliance state for software updates is displayed in the Configuration Manager console. You can deploy and install software updates on computers that require the updates. The following sections provide information about the compliance states and describe the process for scanning for software updates compliance.

The following lists and describes each compliance state that is displayed in the Configuration Manager console for software updates. Specifies that the software update is applicable and required on the client computer. Any of the following conditions could be true when the software update state is Required :.

The software update was installed on the client computer. However, the most recent state message has not yet been inserted into the database on the site server.

The client computer rescans for the update after the installation has finished. There might be a delay of up to two minutes before the client sends the updated state to the management point that then forwards the updated state to the site server. However, the software update installation requires a computer restart before the update is completed. Specifies that the software update is not applicable on the client computer.

Therefore, the software update is not required. Specifies that the software update is applicable on the client computer and that the client computer already has the software update installed.

Specifies that the site server has not received a state message from the client computer, typically because one of the following:. The scan finished successfully on the client computer. However, the state message has not yet been processed on the site server, possibly because of a state message backlog. The scan finished successfully on the client computer, but the state message has not been received from the child site.

The scan finished successfully on the client computer, but the state message file was corrupted in some way and could not be processed. When the software update point is installed and synchronized, a site-wide machine policy is created that informs client computers that Configuration Manager software updates was enabled for the site. When a client receives the machine policy, a compliance assessment scan is scheduled to start randomly within the next two hours.

The WUA then connects to the WSUS server location that is listed in the local policy, retrieves the software updates metadata that has been synchronized on the WSUS server, and scans the client computer for the updates. A Software Updates Client Agent process detects that the scan for compliance has finished, and it creates state messages for each software update that changed in compliance state after the last scan. The state messages are sent to the management point in bulk every 15 minutes.

The management point then forwards the state messages to the site server, where the state messages are inserted into the site server database. After the initial scan for software updates compliance, the scan is started at the configured scan schedule. However, if the client has scanned for software updates compliance in the time frame indicated by the Time to Live TTL value, the client uses the software updates metadata that is stored locally.

When the last scan is outside the TTL, the client must connect to WSUS running on the software update point and update the software updates metadata stored on the client. Including the scan schedule, the scan for software updates compliance can start in the following ways:. Software updates scan schedule : The scan for software updates compliance starts at the configured scan schedule that is configured in the Software Updates Client Agent settings. For more information about how to configure the Software Updates client settings, see software updates client settings.

Deployment reevaluation schedule : The deployment evaluation and scan for software updates compliance starts at the configured deployment reevaluation schedule, which is configured in the Software Updates Client Agent settings. For more information about the Software Updates client settings, see software updates client settings. Prior to downloading update files : When a client computer receives an assignment policy for a new required deployment, the Software Updates Client Agent downloads the software update files to the local client cache.

Before downloading the software update files, the client agent starts a scan to verify that the software update is still required. Prior to software update installation : Just before the software update installation, the Software Updates Client Agent starts a scan to verify that the software updates are still required.

After software update installation : Just after a software update installation is complete, the Software Updates Client Agent starts a scan to verify that the software updates are no longer required and creates a new state message that states that the software update is installed.

When the installation has finished, but a restart is necessary, the state message indicates that the client computer is pending a restart. After system restart : When a client computer is pending a system restart for the software update installation to finish, the Software Updates Client Agent starts a scan after the restart to verify that the software update is no longer required and creates a state message that states that the software update is installed.

The software updates metadata that is required for the scan for software updates compliance is stored on the local client computer, and by default, is relevant for up to 24 hours. The client scans for software updates compliance by using an online or offline scan and a forced or non-forced scan, depending on the way the scan for software updates compliance is started. The following describes which methods for starting the scan are online or offline and whether the scan is forced or non-forced.

At the configured scan schedule, the client connects to WSUS running on the software update point to retrieve the software updates metadata only when the last scan was outside the TTL. The client computer always connects to WSUS running on the software update point to retrieve the software updates metadata before the client computer scans for software updates compliance.

After the scan is complete, the TTL counter is reset. You add one or more network devices, you open the monitoring pane, you select and then right-click Network Devices , and then you select Personalize View. When you click to select the Device Name check box, the device name does not appear. If the discovery data contains some double-byte characters such as Japanese Characters, the discovery process fails when you try to insert a value into a string.

When a discovery process tries to insert a double-byte character into a string value, the request is rejected by the Root Management Server. Note Double-byte characters are used in non-Latin languages such as Japanese. When you export an availability report to a TIF file or to a PDF file, the print preview feature shows the report truncated.

The printout of the report is multiple pages long. The property bags of the WMIEventProvider module do not support including or excluding of specific properties. Manipulating the output of the Microsoft. The user selects the performance view for an instance that has a large amount of data in the Web console.

The user selects and unselects what data is displayed. After the user selects and unselects the data, the chart lines do not correspond to the chart legend. When this action is taken, the InvalidOperationException error occurs, and the data is no longer collected in the datawarehouse. When a monitoring host sends some workflows to another monitoring host, the second monitoring host does not start the workflows until all tasks are received. The user starts the Operations Manager console.

In different windows, the user opens more than three state views and opens more than three diagram views. After minutes, the console crashes. A restart dialog box appears when you run an update before the files for the update are received. When you install an update, the user clicks Run Server Update. Then, the user is given the option to restart the computer.

However, the update agent has not yet received the updates. The user enables the AutoArchive feature on a domain controller. The Audit Collection Services does not reliably collect forward events from the Security log. Refer to the individual KB articles for information about how to obtain a hotfix for these issues. For up-to-date information, refer to the following article:. If you apply this cumulative update on agents that are behind a Gateway server role, the agents are not updated.

However, these agents seem to be successfully approved in the Pending Agents pane. This issue occurs after you have performed the following steps:. For more information about System Center Operations Manager Service Pack 1, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:.

This is an optional step. Installed this cumulative update on the Root Management Server and on the gateway servers. An approved agent is pending behind the gateway servers. To work around this issue, manually update the agent on the respective computers behind the gateway.

We did encounter problems with WSUS in the test environment with the regional and the primary site this client is attached. I have reran the Update Repository sync at the regional site. When we look at the "License Terms" for this patch "Accept and Decline License Terms" are greyed from the previous acceptance. Is there a method to force a sync of the Accept License Terms data? We had this same issue, so I looked in the WindowsUpdate. My troubled site did not have the local users in the Content folder.

I added the local group, and forced the client to scan again, and all appears to be better now. You guys might want to look into that.

You could create an update list containing only the updates you wish to report compliance on then run your compliance report against the update list. This would only show compliance data for the updates you specified. Office Office Exchange Server. Not an IT pro? System Center TechCenter.
