Sun Microsystems has disabled turning off the auto-update feature using the command line. Fortunately, the auto-update feature defaults to “Check once a month” and “notify me, but don’t install”. We will need to educate users not to install any updates, and provide directions on how to turn this off. Also, by using this command, the JRE doesn’t bind itself to Internet Explorer, so there shouldn’t be conflicts with the JRE that Lawson requires.
Operations -> We need to have you work on testing this on a sampling of users. If you need a copy of the JRE installation file, you can find it on \lzbs3004\netserv\Public\Software\Java. The correct one is jre-1_5_0_11-windows-i586-p.exe.""
I am thinking this can be done using BigFIx, but I really do not have the exact knowledge on how to go about doing so.
If your question is how to create bigfix task to run that command line, try Wizards > Software Deployment Wizard in the BES Console
Regarding the auto-update feature you mentioned, the below may help you, or someone else facing the same problem.
At the time of installation, using the JAVAUPDATE=0 and AUTOUPDATECHECK = 0 parameters may not work as it’s been removed from the silent installer
What you can do, see if any of the below works for you, then it shouldn’t be a problem to create Bigfix fixlet to deploy it.
try the deployment.properties file, used for storing and retrieving deployment configuration properties in the Java Control Panel. It’s located at %UserProfile%\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\
There may also be an (optional) System-Level deployment.properties file and it will get copied over to a new user profile when a new user logs in.
you can simply stop jusched.exe from running at startup, that’s the process that checks for updates.
To prevent it from running, you can use the DisallowRun under HKEY_ CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ Explorer
set “PromptAutoUpdateCheck”=dword:00000000 and “EnableJavaUpdate”=dword:00000000 under
