opsi subscriptions

Initial Deployment of opsi subscriptions

To provide the required packages, you can download them manually or install all packages after editing the configuration of the opsi-package-updater.

Configuration of the opsi-package-updater / updating the opsi subscriptions

For further operation it is recommended to save the repository configuration in '/etc/opsi/package-updater.repos.d/'. You will receive a corresponding configuration file with your access data.

If using a proxy, the access must be configured in these files!

It then offers to ony install the required packages from the new repositories:

# Example: Install packages for mshotfix, OS Windows 10 x64 2009-22h2 / Server 2016 / 2019 / 2022 / Windows 11 22H2
opsi-package-updater --repo uib_abo_mshotfix install mshotfix mshotfix-win10-2009-x64-glb mshotfix-win10-1607-x64-glb mshotfix-win10-1809-x64-glb mshotfix-win2022 mshotfix-win11-22h2
# Example: Install packages for Office 2016
opsi-package-updater --repo uib_abo_msoffice install office_2016_hotfix
# Example: Install packages for the standard opsi products: firefox and libreoffice
opsi-package-updater --repo uib_abo_standard install firefox libreoffice

It is possible to install only required packages, e.g. only the packages to update Windows 1022h2 and Windows 11 22h2:

opsi-package-updater -v install mshotfix mshotfix-win10-2009-x64-glb mshotfix-win11-22h2

To update the packages the usage of opsi-package-updater is recommended.

By executing opsi-package-updater -v update you can update the installed packages, for example via a cronjob.

An equivalent is to update the packages for each repository:

# Updating packages for mshotfix
opsi-package-updater --repo uib_abo_mshotfix update
# Updating packages for msoffice
opsi-package-updater --repo uib_abo_msoffice update
# Updating packages for standard products
opsi-package-updater --repo uib_abo_standard update

Configuration of default properties

When installing opsi packages non-interactively, the default properties of the packages are saved as default on a 'opsi-configserver' or 'opsi-server'.

As of opsi version 4.0.5, the default properties of the 'opsi-server' can be set via the management interface 'opsi-configed'.

If you subsequently install a newer package version using opsi-package-manager or opsi-package-updater, the default properties of the depot will be retained.

Subscription 'MS-Hotfixes'

Regular updates for the product MS-Hotfix (OS hotfixes for Windows 2012, Windows 8.1 / 2012-R2, Windows 10 / Windows 2016 / Windows 2019 / Windows 2022 / Windows 11).

Versions no longer supported by Microsoft are displayed as "failed": 1507 "non"-LTSB, 1511 and 1607 "non"-LTSB except Education and Enterprise versions.

The updates will be available within three working days after the release of a patch that Microsoft considers to be important or critical.

Rating Description

Critical

A vulnerability whose exploitation could allow code execution without user interaction. These scenarios include self-propagating malware (e.g. network worms), or unavoidable common use scenarios where code execution occurs without warnings or prompts. This could mean browsing to a web page or opening email. Microsoft recommends that customers apply Critical updates immediately.

Important

A vulnerability whose exploitation could result in compromise of the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of user data, or of the integrity or availability of processing resources. These scenarios include common use scenarios where client is compromised with warnings or prompts regardless of the prompt’s provenance, quality, or usability. Sequences of user actions that do not generate prompts or warnings are also covered. Microsoft recommends that customers apply Important updates at the earliest opportunity.

Moderate

Impact of the vulnerability is mitigated to a significant degree by factors such as authentication requirements or applicability only to non-default configurations. Microsoft recommends that customers consider applying the security update.

Low

Impact of the vulnerability is comprehensively mitigated by the characteristics of the affected component. Microsoft recommends that customers evaluate whether to apply the security update to the affected systems.

The opsi-mshotfix package uses (like WSUS Offline Update http://forums.wsusoffline.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=172 coverage of WSUS Offline Update) to download Microsoft’s update catalog file wsusscn2.cab, to identify the required patches. This catalog file contains at least all the "critical" and "security-relevant" updates, but not necessarily all the "important" and "optional" updates.

The opsi mshotfix packages have a modular structure. The basic package "mshotfix" contains only a script for installing the patches. The actual patches are contained in separate packages.

The uninstallation and installation of google-chrome.msi sometimes fails.

Therefore there are different approaches in the opsi package to increase the reliability of the installation.

  • install_architecture: 32

  • reboot_on_retry: True

  • reboot_after_uninstall: True

  • timeout: 240
