First things first. 

Get the offline MSI download meant for corporate installs.

Then you can use anything your heart delights that can push MSI's.  GPO,
scripts, or any other of the hundreds of patching options.

Personally using ManageEngine myself, and really liking it.  The price point
was great.

Anyone have any suggestions for managing JAVA updates in a corporate
environment?  At my last job we used the kbox as it was part of the patch
stream, but the product I use  now does not include JAVA as part of the
stream.  I'd like to be able to control when updates are performed, do to it
silently, and to turn off that annoying prompt to install the Ask toolbar.

 

Thanks,

Tom

You should be able to do a search for the msi from an elevated command prompt,

"turn off that annoying prompt to install the Ask toolbar"

First things first...
Get the offline MSI download meant for corporate installs.
Then you can use anything your heart delights that can push MSI's.  GPO, 
scripts, or any other of the hundreds of patching options.
Personally using ManageEngine myself, and really liking it.  The price point 
was great.

Subject: Manage JAVA updates

Anyone have any suggestions for managing JAVA updates in a corporate 
environment?  At my last job we used the kbox as it was part of the patch 
stream, but the product I use  now does not include JAVA as part of the stream. 
 I'd like to be able to control when updates are performed, do to it silently, 
and to turn off that annoying prompt to install the Ask toolbar.

Thanks,

Re: Manage JAVA updates

I'm using Secunia's CSI product.  It isnt' as full featured as Kace or
Landesk, but it is cheaper and it slipstreams patches to your WSUS box and
also does acrobat, etc...

RE: Manage JAVA updates

2013-03-18 Thread Ray
This Java thing is a support nightmare.  Our state rolled out a new
personnel app that's java-based.  So every state employee now has to connect
to this thing.  And of course it does a Java check, and of course it tells
users that they have old versions that should be removed, or that they need
the latest version.   They get the option to "update the latest version".
And OUR agency blocks downloads for non-IT staff.   And so the calls just
keep coming. 

 

The simplest solution would've been to just open the downloads for java to
everyone until the state and/or app developer comes up with a better
solution.  But the people in charge of the network think that's a bad ideas
because they know that java can affect CiscoWorks (used by exactly 1 person)
and the HP ILO boards, also used by at best some of the IT staff.

as well as Firefox and Chrome and a few other products.

 

vCenter Protect v9 (beta just came out) has cloud-managed agents that you
can manage via your local vCenter Protect console, means you can now manage
systems that never or rarely VPN in, all they need is an Internet
connection, you can even install their agents via Internet. I just watched
