Abandoned system update utility?

I tried to run the system update tool to make sure that my system is up to date, but it doesn't have all the say there is change coming in May.

Lenovo is declining support for the system update? And it will be non-functional until an unspecificed in may date?

Wow...

  • The ThinkVantage System update cause video to fail again T61

    It is a sporadic problem and can't just to the probably of the machines from 1 to 10, but it happens nonetheless. I was imaging a significant amout of T61, and part of the cleaning is to run the Thinkvantage system update utility. Updates only I have installed are up-to-date XP, ann RL/updates to update and the update of the BIOS. The last time I ran the updates on a machine, they are ones I installed:

    -Updated Help Center

    -Q934205 XP

    -Q910728 XP

    -Q917332 XP

    -Q941880 XP

    -Q918837 XP

    -Q889816 XP

    -Q923293 XP

    -Intel LAN 11abgn, abg, bg, for Windows 2000/XP

    -Intel Pro/1000 Lan

    -Updated the Director presentation

    -Features video Thinkpad

    -Update the BIOS

    -Adobe Flash Update

    On some machines, when I run updates and reboot, the video breaks down and I have to enter safe mode, back the video driver, then out to the Lenovo downloads and download the latest video and it works. Strange, huh? I do not always install the video features of Thinkpad, I just did on the last machine I've updated to try to recreate the issue, but have not yet been successful. I'll try the MS KB but thought I would try to post everything here first and see if everyone is seen/had this problem.

    Let me know if you need more information

    Thank you

    Correction of the problem. I don't know how many people this would apply to the. I was setup machine to another when the question that's happened, but I copied the updates until I installed them. I installed 3 (Q923293, Q934205 and Q941880) and reboot, the video has failed. I looked at the edits, and Q941880 was the only one who had to do with the video. I restored on installed upgrading until (Q934205, I think) and viola! It worked. So, if anyone has this problem, he could have to patch XP-Q941880, so either roll back to before installation, or restore your video driver and install the last being directly from Lenovo.com.

    See you soon

  • Systems build and update utility - rejects MS Action Pack OS disc

    Implemented a T105 out of the box with the tools management systems & Documentation DVD was great until it asked me to insert the disc of the operating system. I chose Windows Server 2008 Standard x 64 earlier in the wizard and inserted a DVD of the BONES of this type since a MS Partners - Action Pack set of disks. However he was rejected repeatedly by the Systems Build and Update Utility as "invalid disc".

    Anyone have ideas why this is the case? How can I advance?

    The DVD of the BONE in question has the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Server 2008 Standard on it - this could be the reason why somehow?

    Thanks in advance for any help / lights!


  • System image utility only displays not options for NetRestore

    Hi all

    I've been using NetRestore Image with NetInstall to deploy new laptops and I'm working on a new version of this image to clone our new laptops, but I'm more able to create a new image.

    I placed the image in target disk mode ready system and connected to my Mac server, but when I go in system image utility, I see more the option to create a NetRestore Image similar to the image below

    Instead, this is what I see

    I have a Mac Mini Server (end 2012) with OS 10.11.1, Version 5.0.15 (15S 4033) and System Image Utility 2 Version 10.11 (777). The Image I'm trying to capture is OS 10.10. 5

    I don't know if Apple has removed this feature or if there is a new way to clone an image, but I'd appreciate any help

    Thank you!

    It looks like the system image utility (if it is updated to the latest version) don't like El Capitan now as a customer of image to be cloned.

    Bad luck.

  • Is Windows XP automatic Driver Update Utility Download safe to use?

    Should I start the download for this automatic driver Update Utility

    for Windows XP Driver Downloads that suddenly popped up on my screen? Is it safe and legitimate?  This is the site web http://www.driverupdate.net/articles/xp_download/windows-xp-driver-downloads.php?aps=winXPtextsplit2.  Thank you in advance, Slowbutsure :~)

    Hello

    The problem with the automatic driver update utilities is they will fail all ultimately and

    sometimes with spectacular results (bad). So I recommend only utilities that help
    determine what drivers are loaded and help find sites of the manufacturer of the device
    where they are.

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    DriverView execution - Set VIEW of Microsoft drivers hide - update those without drain in their
    names.

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    I hope this helps.

    Help, please.

    Hi Alaa' Kabbani,.

    1. did you of recent changes made to your computer?

    2. which antivirus app do you use?

    3. What is the brand and model of your computer?

    I suggest to follow the steps below and we update on the State of the question.

    Method 1: Disconnect any new hardware

    If you have recently installed a new hardware device, the necessary driver so that the material can not be installed or the driver may be damaged or incompatible. To determine if this is true, follow these steps:

    1 unplug the appliance.

    2. restart Windows XP.

    If Windows XP starts successfully, there is a driver problem with the new material. Contact the manufacturer of the device for drivers updated to the device or to learn more about known hardware issues, so that you can reinstall the device.

    For information about how to contact the manufacturer of the device, refer to the Microsoft Web site at the following address:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/GP/vendors

    (http://support.microsoft.com/gp/vendors)

    Microsoft provides third-party contact information to help you find technical support. These details may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this third-party contact information.

    If this method resolved the issue, you are finished. If this method does not work for you, go to method 3.

    Method 2: Disable automatic reboot in case of system failure

    If the system reboots continuously, do the following:

    1. reboot the computer.

    2. as the computer restarts, press the F8 key repeatedly until you see the Windows Advanced Options screen.

    3. use the arrow keys to select disable automatic system error rebootand press ENTER.

    4. If you receive an error message, follow these steps to search the Microsoft Knowledge Base for useful information about the error message:

    a. copy the text of the error message.

    b. visit the following Microsoft Web site:

    http://support.Microsoft.com

    (http://support.microsoft.com)

    c. type the text of the error message in the Search box, and then type the name of the product you are using, for example "Windows XP".

    d. click on Searchand try to find an article that will help you solve your problem.

    If this method worked, you have resolved the problem of your computer restarts continuously. However, you can continue to troubleshoot driver problems. See the "Symptoms" section again and determine which method to use to solve the problem.

    If this method worked, you are finished. If this method does not work for you, please try Method 3.

    Method 3: Use the known last good Configuration feature

    If you can start the computer successfully, you can use the known last good Configuration feature. This feature uses information that was saved the last time that you shut down the computer before the problems started. This feature allows to restore your registry settings and drivers to the previous information.

    If you are not completely sure what that means, don't worry. None of these reviews will damage your computer. However, you should be aware that if you do this, any changes made to your computer after the date of last known good configuration will be lost.

    If you have recently installed a driver and know a configuration problem, this method will probably work for you. Unfortunately, this feature does not solve the problems caused by missing drivers or corrupt or files.

    To use the last good known Configuration, follow these steps:

    a. restart the computer.

    (b) that the computer restarts, press the F8 key repeatedly until you see the Windows Advanced Options screen.

    c. use the arrow keys to select last good Configuration known (your most recent settings that worked), and then press ENTER.

    d. If you are prompted to select an operating system, use the arrow keys to select the operating system and press ENTER.

    If this method worked, your computer is restored to a good working state. You still have to investigate on what caused this problem. To do this, please see the "Next steps" section for troubleshooting resources more.

  • "System update required services"

    Hey all,.

    I know it's probably covered somewhere but I searched a lot on this subject, information is nothing but contradictory and confusing and it's something I want to be wrong.

    I get this message when you POST messages and cannot hit for the interface of the iDRAC. I don't mean to solve it, but don't know if it's a problem with the iDRAC, the cycle of life or USC controller. Server is on Ubuntu and I installed Nagios and OpenManage, and I get a message saying: "controller 0 [PERC 6 / i integrated]: Firmware '6.2.0 - 0013' is obsolete", but I don't know how reliable upgrade on Ubuntu. All the guides seem to be for Redhat and Suse. Is there a LiveCD that I can use to correct/update the firmware?

    Kevin

    Idrac and the regulator of the life cycle are the 2 halves of the same coin. Ideally, you want to update both to the latest version from the support site. Because you are running Ubuntu, it's maybe a little more difficult if the Dell Update Packages (DUP) does not correctly under that OS. I don't him have not tried on that one.  There are several ways to approach this problem:

    1. If you can download the idrac and LC dups and run them from within the OS, it would be easier

    2. you can try to power on the system for 30 seconds reset the LC, plug the unit to rear-wheel drive in, and then wait at least 1 minute before actually turn on/off the system. It is crucial that you wait for the idrac can complete its startup when the system is off. If you have the small LCD on the front of the system, once it meets the buttons, turn on the system.

    3. If step 2 deletes the message and you can F10 in the LC, use the platform update function to update the LC.

    4. its possible you might have a pretty old idrac and LC that you MUST use a package update based operating system, and if this is the case, and step 1 does not work for you, then you will need to do one of two things.

    a. you can use the omsa live startup disk, and then run the idrac and lc dups from a usb key.

    Linux.Dell.com/.../om71-firmware-Live

    b. install and create a repository with the repository Manager 1.5, then create a bootable disc to update for your system model.

    There is a video to this place who can show you how to create an iso bootable for your system.

    en.Community.Dell.com/.../1767.Dell-Repository-Manager.aspx

    There is a 3rd option called systems build and update utility, which you can start to, but then you need the utility of update server Dell 7.1.1 or later version for update packages.  This iso is 5 + GB and requires a disc double layer.

  • Error on the UPS Firmware Dell Update utility

    Hello

    I got the error "No UPS connected or not able to make the connection" the inverter is connected by USB.  I have RS232 or USB enabled in the upgrade utility.

    I'm under UPS Local Node Manager, that's how I know that the UPS USB connection is good.

    The following information found here that I'm updating the firmware and then replace the battery followed by replacing the battery if the fault is not resolved.  I have re-sitting and replace the battery with a new battery.  The front panel of the inverter shows again the fault as well as the software after replacing the battery.  It seems that the update of the firmware is the only option for this error at this stage of troubleshooting.  However, the upgrade utility does not work.  Please help.

    Sometimes they have the management software will not allow the firmware update utility to try and work as follows:

    1. If the inverter has the NMC (Network Management Card) installed, then select the NMC in the utility of upgrade of the UPS Firmware and update the firmware of the UPS.
    2. Connect the ups to another system (server, desktop computer, laptop computer) that has neither ULNM nor would save installed. Load the utility to upgrade the Firmware of the UPS and the UPS firmware on the new system files. Launch the UPS Firmware Upgrade utility and update the firmware of the UPS. Reconnect the ups to the original system.
    3. Uninstall the ULNM and/or would save the system. Launch the UPS Firmware Upgrade utility and update the firmware of the UPS. Reinstall ULNM and/or save. Check the configuration settings.
  • What is this system update message legitimate?

    It just jumped on my screen T410:

    This seems fishy because it gives no indication who sent it or he's going to update.  I've traced the popup to an executable uts.exe appointed and found in these Lenovo files:

    c:\Program Files (x 86) \Lenovo\System Update\NEWCLIENT\temp\

    c:\ProgramData\Lenovo\TVSUUTS\{96229774-D3A0-4410-8400-09B79865B300}\

    It is a legit update of Lenovo, or is it malware?

    Hello.

    Was supposed to be an image attached to this?

    The uts.exe is the executable file for the update of the system, and there was a new version of the utility of the released ThinkVantage System Update June 27, my clients picked up the week last through the update program. Alas, the automatic client update failed in my case, so I just downloaded the new version and configure manually. Once executed, it invites you to you that there is an older version, and if you want to delete.

  • System Image Utility - default Menu screen does not appear

    Hello world

    I seem to be scratching my head on this one.

    I recently install a mac mini server. Everything went to plan, but am having trouble using system image utility.

    If I'm running system image utility on the machine of a client who has OSX Yosemite the SIU works perfectly well and I give myself three default options

    * Netboot

    * Netinstall

    * Netrestore

    However if I load SIU on the mac mini with the server application, I don't get any of these options.

    I left a screenshot below for reference.

    If I could get any help on this I would appreciate it greatly, because currently use Automator to do the job for me at the moment.

    Kind regards

    Please ignore that, I just realized that Apple has changed the system of MISTLETOE on El Capitan.
