  • 1.  August patches not yet in PMImport?

    Posted Aug 11, 2016 10:08 AM

    Am I the only one still waiting for an update PMImport with the August patches?  I'm still stuck at 7.1.838.  I've manually downloaded the cab file and verified that it's also at 838, but now I'm begining to worry that I'm getting a cached cab file.

    Anyone else on a PMImport version greater than 7.1.838 or have the August patches in the Patch Remeidation Center?

    Still waiting.  When do they normally get updated?

    I usually see them by late Wednesday evening or early Thursday morning.  This is definately the latest I've seen them in a long while.  I wonder if that new Anniversary Update for Windows 10 has anything to do with it.  That's the only thing released this month that seemed out of the ordinary.

    We're still waiting to see August patches come through the PMImport as well. Odd considering that Shavlik (which Altiris Patch Management is based upon) released their patch data at 6pm on Tuesday...

    I logged a call about this and was told the new PMImport was due out later/tomorrow so to check tomorrow.

    No explaination as to why they're late this month.

    Bit miffed as it's going to push patching back by a week due to our schedule.

    I just received word from our assigned engineer from Symantec.  He tells me that the ETA is end of day, but he will let me know if that estimate changes.

    From what I remember, Symantec gets the patch data from Shavlik and Shavlik had this data shortly after Microsoft released the patches.  Our infrastructure team is already moving off of Symantec to consildate on Shavlik and I can already see the argument that we should move the workstations over as well due to incidents like this.  Why it takes two or three days to get this when these deal with security is very concerning to us.

    I just got off the phone with support, the tech didn't have an official ETA but he had been hearing expected release was about 3 hours away (2:30 PM PST).

    Apparently they had an issue with some internal build/packaging server, that issue is now resolved but still takes time to go through the process.

    Ran another import at 3pm PST. Still don't see it.

    8:30pm EST here and still at 7.1.838.  I checked with my sales engineer, and his response largely confirms what has already been said... the issue is known, it's a top priority for the engineers, and they're working to bring it up as soon as possible.  No ETA was given.  My personal hope is sometime tonight, so I can build policies tonight.

    Apparently Symantec have had a server problem and the patches will be released when the US comes online tonight. Fingers crossed!

    Thank you sir!  Started building policies as soon as we got the update at about 6am EST.  Hopefully whatever it was that delayed things wasn't too big of a pain to resolve.
