Hi all. In our company we are trying to test CSI, but so far we don't succeed. We built a new wsus 3 server and installed CSI on it. CSI connects to WSUS, but we couldn't create the active directory policy. However, we created our own policy that point the pc's to our new wsus server. My pc uses the new policy and the pc shows up in wsus. We created a package for an application (Adobe reader, if I remember correctly) that needed an update on my pc. We approved it to the wsus group my pc is in. Should the update appear in wsus? It's not there and it doesn't appear on my pc. Scanning the pc from the CSI console doesn't work either, only by running CSIA -c it connects to secunia and shows the results on our CSI server. So, long story short : CSI does not distribute packages to wsus and CSI fails when trying to scan my pc. What are we doing wrong? |

Hi, Thank you for your post. From what I understand you have a few questions. First one: you are not able to see the 3rd party updates in WSUS. This is a normal behavior because the WSUS is not equipped to handle 3rd party packages. You can view the published packages published with Secunia CSI under Patch -> Available. Here you can approve them to specific groups. Second question: You tried to run a scan and that scan failed. If you are using remote scan (Quick Scan, Scan Groups, CSI Agent in Network Appliance Mode) then you need to have some requirements in place: Scanning using remote login (Agent-less): • Administrative privileges • Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 3, 2003, 2008, Vista, and 7 • Windows Update Agent 2.0 • Standard Windows services/ports: o Workstation and Server Service o Remote Registry Service o File and Print Sharing o COM+ o Ports 139/tcp and 445/tcp open inbound You can also use the CSI Agent in Single Host Mode to run scans (I think you already use the binary with the –c option). For more information you can use our online resources: CSI 5.0 Technical User Manual http://secunia.com/resources/product_sheets/ CSI 5.0 Videos http://secunia.com/resources/videos/ Let me know if you need more information on the solution or if you experience any other issues, -- Kind Regards, Oana Marin Solution Specialist |
