Hi,is it possible to remove a partner catalog from SCE?I have imported the Dell Partner Client catalog in SCE. And after that all my clients do no longer get software deployed. Windows Updates do work, but all software the software distribution does not.In WindowsUpdate.log the clients to only report the following errors (292 times with differnt GUIDs):AgentWARNING: Failed to evaluate Installable rule, updateId = {28D1D90C-5559-4EAB-AAB6-397E1F473546}.1, hr = 8004100EI already tried the tips related to this error, but this did not help. And as this happened only after I imported the Dell Client Management Catalog, I'd like to remove it from SCE and check if the problem does go away.I already deleted the view, but this does not delete the imported catalog.Any hints?ThanksFrank

Hello Frank,This issue(no software deployed) seems not related with the partner catalog.Onceyou import a partner catalog, SCE will download some uodates from a third-party website. There updates cannot influence SCE server itself. You can approve/decline these updates but you canot removethe parter catalog.For your reference,here is a similar issue and workaround:Clients Suddenly Not Updating Anymorehttp://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/systemcenterupdates/thread/333f1db3-8bcf-4057-a868-1b754418a5e4Hope it helps,Yog Li - MSFT

Hello Yog, I already read this thread andI would be glad to give it a try. But the problem is not with updates provided by WSUS it is with software I'd like to distribute with SCE. I know that SCE uses the WSUS environment to deploy software. But the software I added to SCE is not visible in WSUS console. So how am I supposed to use the workaround and re-approve my software deployments?Frank

Hi Frank, Let's troubleshoot this issue from the beginning: 1. Please check whether these software package list in the folder \UpdateSrervicePackages\2. Check whether UpdateSrervicePackages directory has the following permission: a.Full control to WSUS Administrators group. b.Read/write access for the NetworkService account c.Read access for Everyone.3.Please check "c:\windows\software distribution\Download" on client compputer to see whether software package has been download.4.Please check whether "Configure Automatic Update" has been modified.5.Please clearing the BITs queue on the problematical computer: To clear the BITs queue, you can use the steps outlined in the following: You cannot download new updates from a server that is running Windows Server Update Serviceshttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;9206496.Please follow the below steps to force client computer to find software package.1). On a Unknown client, stop the Automatic Update service via services.msc. 2). Rename the windowsupdate.log (under %windir%) to windowsupdate1.log, and then start the Automatic Update service. 3). Run wuauclt /detectnow command. 4). Wait for 10 minutes and then run wuauclt /reportnow command. 5). We will get a new %windir%\windowsupdate.log file. Thanks,Yog Li - MSFT

Hello Frank,Could you update the information about the issue?Did you try the suggestions that I posted before? Thanks,Yog Li - MSFT

Hello Yog,it did take some time to try the steps, but now I have the following results. The software package is available under UpdateServicePackages. The permissions are set by the SCE setup routine to:Administrators:FSYSTEM:FWSUS Administrators:FNETWORK SERVICE:RWUsers:RI added as you wrote also EVERYONE:R The software package has not been downloaded to the softwaredistribution\download folder. The client is correctly configured for the SCE server as WSUS client Cleaned the BITS queue. Checked for new software, but without success. The new log file also contains the same "failed to evaluate installed rule" and failed to evaluate installable rule" error messages and the software is not download or installed.

On additional observation:I created a new software package (latest Java Engine) and targetet this software to "All Clients" and this software has been installed without problems on all clients.

Hello,Thanks for the information.It seems that the softwares themselves caused this issue, for a newsoftware package has been deployedsuccessfully. What are the softwares that failed to be deployed? Could you re-package the softwares and try again?Thanks,Yog Li - MSFT
