Using SCCM 2012 r2 to Patch Linux, UNIX and MacsLumension
Today, everything has to be patched. From desktop and laptop to server and every operating system in between. With compliance, what we have to pay attention to is what’s actually out there on our network – not just what you wish were there.
Servers (Windows, UNIX and Linux)Even Windows-centric environments have at least a few UNIX or Linux servers that need to be secure and patched. Linux and UNIX servers often fulfill critical functions with few and short maintenance windows. These can be a real pain point for admins who specialize in Windows or are managed by an entirely different admin.
Desktops (Windows and Macs)Maybe you are responsible for desktops instead of servers. Again it’s not just a Windows story any more. More and more people are opting for Macs instead of Windows. Watch the vulnerability lists and you’ll see that Macs need patching too.
The kicker though is the 80/20 rule. If at least 80% of the computers on your network are Windows and the remaining 20% are everything else – it’s a safe bet, given the maturity and ease of WSUS, that 20% of your patching effort goes to Windows but 80% of your effort is consumed with patching all the different flavors of UNIX, Linux and your Mac computers. We need one system to manage all our patches and one pane of glass to prove compliance from data center to desktop.
Believe it or not System Center 2012 R2 provides the infrastructure to do just that – it just needs a little help. Last time we showed you how you can patch 3rd party apps on Windows through System Center Update Manager. This time we’ll show you how you can patch non-Windows systems using the new System Center clients for UNIX, Linux and Mac.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

7. Detailed Comparison - Patch Manager Vs.
Shavlik
Patch Manager leverages WSUS and SCCM, and there is no need to package Microsoft
patches because they are synchronized directly from Microsoft by WSUS.
VMware / Shavlik does not leverage WSUS and needs to package Microsoft content. This
can cause concern for users for two reasons:
1)There is a delay in getting critical Microsoft patches to VMware / Shavlik customers.
Microsoft releases content on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of the month. Until the time of
release, the installation files are not available to any company, and packages cannot be
built without the installation files nor without knowing what the installation behavior
should be. Ergo, companies with their own patch engine and schema cannot begin working
on that content until after Microsoft releases it.

8. Detailed Comparison - Patch Manager Vs.
Shavlik
2) Pressure to quickly provide Microsoft updates may cause quality issues.
For example, a recent post in patchmanagement.org stated there were issues in running
vCenter Protect Essentials 8.0.0 -
three Windows 7 (x64) patches were not installing or being detected as having been installed
. The post went on to say that Shavlik was fixing the problem.
Lack of quality is the reason SolarWinds opted not to package the Adobe Reader v10 and
Adobe Acrobat v10 content that is now available from Adobe.
How QUICKLY does SolarWinds provide updates? SolarWinds documents this explicitly
and normally can get an update out the door in a day or two from the time of ISV
publication. VMWare/Shavlik also documents the latest patches they have released, but I
am not quite sure how often this page is updated as the latest JRE 7u7 update (made
available 8/30) is not on this list .

9. Detailed Comparison - Patch Manager Vs.
Shavlik
Patch Manager automatically synchronizes the 3rd Party Updates Catalog and other
catalogs on a schedule, convenient to the customer's organization.
VMware / Shavlik requires customers to install the software update catalog on their own.
Because Patch Manager leverages WSUS & SCCM, SolarWinds Patch Manager scale is
unlimited. Each WSUS server scales to 30k endpoints out of the box. WSUS can integrate
with up to 100k endpoints per WSUS Server with custom configuration. One Patch
Manager server can integrate with an unlimited number of WSUS servers.
Alternatively, as detailed in this comparison of Shavlik to IBM BigFix by Productive,
VMware / Shavlik only scales to 50k endpoints and is not suitable for very large
environments.

10. Detailed Comparison - Patch Manager Vs.
Shavlik
SolarWinds' list price (as of the date of posting) is more affordable than the
VMware / Shavlik published catalog price (as of 5/29/2012).
To patch 500 nodes (where 1 node equates to 1 device, a virtual or physical
desktop, laptop, server, etc.), SolarWinds Patch Manager will cost $5,595 (USD).
This perpetual license price includes year 1 maintenance. Based upon the list price of
the product at the time of renewal, the support cost for 2 years is 20% of list price
for each year. At this time, if a customer purchased 500 nodes and support for 3
years, the approximate cost would be $7,833 (USD) for Patch Manager.
Per VMware / Shavlik's published catalog price posted on 5/29/2012, VMware
vCenter Protect Essentials Plus costs $150 per server for 3 year support and
$96 per workstation for 3 year support. At this time, 3 year software cost for 500
servers is $75,000 and $48,000 for 500 workstations.

In addition to pricing and architectural differences, there are two unique features
SolarWinds Patch Manager provides that VMware / Shavlik does not:
PackageBoot
Package Wizard
The first feature, PackageBoot, helps with tricky deployment scenarios - especially
useful in patching Java. With PackageBoot, SolarWinds customers can build and
designate specific actions to occur before or after package deployment to ensure
that patches get deployed correctly each time.
The second feature, Package Wizard, gives users an easy way to build custom
packages for any application – without the use of SCUP or complicated scripting.
A recent post on Spiceworks outlines the difficulties of patching Java with VMware /
Shavlik.

WSUS Administration
SolarWinds Patch Manager works with and extends the capabilities
WSUS
of Microsoft Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) so that in
addition to adding patch deployment and management for 3rd
party applications, SolarWinds Patch Manager adds key
functionality to WSUS that helps you:
•Force real-time download and install of updates from the Windows
Update Server
•Repair & force re-install of the Windows Update Agent

15. 3rd Party Updates
» Does the vendor provide updates for the applications that are important
to your environment?
» Do they provide both security updates and bug fixes?
This is easy to find out. Most vendors list the applications they support on
their website.
What is more difficult to determine is how QUICKLY they get the package
from the ISV to you.
SolarWinds documents this explicitly and Ideally can get an update out the
door in a day or two from the time of ISV publication.
VMWare/Shavlik also documents the latest patches they have released, but
Its not quite sure how often this page is updated as the latest JRE 7u7
update (made available 8/30) is not on this list .

18. What IT Pros say about SolarWinds Patch
Manager
“It used to take four hours per patch for packaging and testing and about a week to deploy
each patch,” said Jay. “Now with Patch Manager, it takes an hour tops - It is incredible.”
- Jay Harper - IT Network Administrator, Terminix Service, Inc.
“I’m very happy with this software and the support services offered. I’m not
sure how Solar Winds taking over will affect the company. In the short term,
though, I’ve seen that there has been a large price decrease (almost 50%!)
and a couple discounts added on. This will definitely decrease some
headaches I’ve gotten from working with other products that either require
an agent, or haven’t been updated since 1998. The key thing for me with this
software is the third-party packages, but I’m not going to complain about
better reporting and more granular control”
- Lauren Malhoit, TechRepublic
“What I especially liked about Patch Manager was that it is a big time saver.
The software didn’t have a steep learning curve and it didn’t require third
party patches to be manually packaged like some competing solutions do.”
- Brien M. Posey, WindowsNetworking.com
