I think I may be using an older one - I will dowload again. In any case, it was not a huge problem.

norman commented on: SEP Content Distribution Monitor (for GUP health-checking)

I fell foul of the hta script parsing the examples in the config.ini and producing an unreachable path for the IIS logs. Removing those cured the problem - as described by someone else in this thread. Perhaps the examples could be ...

norman commented on: SharedUpdates folder empty after smc - stop or reboot

Still struggling with this - have run some tests to see if I can understand what is happening, in the absense of any documentation. Any clarification of the questions in my last post would be appreciated.

norman posted: Add drill down to client details from homepage reports

I would to be able to get from the status report (accessed from the top right of the SEPM console) to client details without having to go via logs. Currently, you may see there are 50 out of date clients, which you then have to go to the logs to find. When you get to the logs, you may only find

norman commented on: SharedUpdates folder empty after smc - stop or reboot

Thanks Paul I now understand that we cannot fix this in RU5, but do have one question. If our GUPs are governed by one LU Policy (DC*) and the clients by other LU policies, each of which explicitly names that group's ...

norman commented on: SharedUpdates folder empty after smc - stop or reboot

Thanks Paul So just so I understand this. If a client is turned off for a few days, to prevent it from pulling down the latest full definition via its GUP, can it not apply deltas cached in the GUP, so long as the GUP contains a full set ...

Yeah - thanks! Took ages to get RU5 out to our clients everywhere and this issue is not specifically mentioned in RU6 Release Notes.

Hi Rafeeq Thanks for the suggestion. We are just trying that now. I will let you know how we get on.

yes - to 1000. Is that a factor?

norman posted: SharedUpdates folder empty after smc - stop or reboot

I need a solution Full RU5 environment. GUPs working until reboot or smc -stop, either of which will empty the SharedUpdates folder. This is a problem because we lose all cached deltas. hi have you customized your gup

norman commented on: GUP Settings & RU5

Have you got the localhost method working under RU5? I have tried configuring GUPs using this method, which worked very well before, and my RU5 system does not seem to like it. The clients with the LU policy containing localhost ...

norman commented on: Do GUPs have to be in the same folder as the clients they are updating?

GUPs do not have to be in the same group. Example - you have a group that contains a bunch of systems that you would like to act as GUPs for other groups. Typically, this occurs if you are using AD sync for group management. You ...

norman commented on: Inherit Firewall Rules from Parent Group

If you disable inheritance on the child group and deploy a non-shared firewall policy, you can then select to inherit the rules from the parent group firewall policy. However, this does not appear to be dynamic, so if you then make changes to ...

I need a solution How can we change the defwatch actions - I have found the registry key containing these, but can see no way of configuring this through SCC (we are using 10.1). If we change the registry key is there an easy wa

norman commented on: Rapid Release in LUA environment

Many thanks - but to reassure you, I have no intention of using it as a regular method of updating, merely trying to replicate the means recommended under SEPM of deploying the RR in the case of emergency. There seems to be a well-documented ...

norman commented on: Rapid Release in LUA environment

Many thanks for your response zer0. Unfortunately, I was looking for a bit more than "As far as I am aware", "probably" and "I believe". I understand the SEPM and GUP processes, including applying a rapid release ...

norman posted: Rapid Release in LUA environment

I need a solution On average, how soon after a rapid release update is available for manual download will it be available through LiveUpdate Admin? SEPM has a method for manually placing the jdb file in the inbox folder

norman commented on: Color Cells in Incident Grid

Just one thing to add - I found the colours were in the order BGR (Blue Green Red) rather than the conventional RGB, which needs to be taken into account if you are creating colours other than black, grey or white.

Thanks Scott - very helpful response. I actually manually created the views in SQL - there were two missing. One was for impact and the other for urgency. Since then, all has gone well. Thanks for placing such a useful tool at our disposal - ...
