Software Update Server Updates automatically disabling

Hi from France. I have exactly the same issue here. Did you create yet a bug report ?

I am also seeing this issue both on 10.10.5 and 10.11.1 with Server 5.0.4.

Something interesting that I found in the swupdate settings (by running /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/sbin/serveradmin fullstatus swupdate):

swupdate:state = "RUNNING"

swupdate:lastChecktime = 2015-11-02 21:30:05 +0000

swupdate:autoMirrorOnlyNew = no

swupdate:syncServiceState = "RUNNING"

swupdate:startTime = 2015-11-03 15:38:26 +0000

swupdate:lastProductsUpdate = 2015-11-03 15:37:56 +0000

swupdate:logPaths:swupdateServiceLog = "/Library/Server/Software Update/Log/swupd_syncd.log"

swupdate:logPaths:swupdateErrorLog = "/Library/Server/Software Update/Log/swupd_error.log"

swupdate:logPaths:swupdateAccessLog = "/Library/Server/Software Update/Log/swupd_access.log"

swupdate:pluginVers = "10.11.111 (111)"

swupdate:checkError = no

swupdate:autoEnable = no

swupdate:updatesDocRoot = "/Library/Server/Software Update/Data/"

swupdate:hostServiceState = "RUNNING"

swupdate:autoMirror = yes

swupdate:numOfEnabledPkg = 1011

swupdate:servicePortsAreRestricted = "NO"

swupdate:numOfMirroredPkg = 1207

swupdate:setStateVersion = 1

swupdate:syncStatus = "DONE"

swupdate:readWriteSettingsVersion = 1

I have enabled all but two updates in the GUI, so the enabled count should be 1205, not 1011. That is very strange! Bug report submitted!

Interesting. My SUS servers ARE in production, so a wipe is not possible. All of my servers resolve both forward and reverse as expected. We put in a case with Apple...

I am seeing this same issue on three different production servers at this time. All are 10.10.5 and the latest server version. Very upsetting.

I am getting calls from clients about the problem. Updates are showing up on client machines but they will not download.

If I enable the update again the client can do the upgrade.

Just wanted to add a me too. I will keep an eye on this thread.

We are having the same issue, fully updates Server on 10.10.5. I opened a Ticket with Apple Enterprise support but no resolution yet.

Is there any solution for this? I have the same issue after I had to perform a complete new setup of OS X Server.

OS X 10.11.3 (Build 15D21)

Server 5.0.15 (Build 15S4033)

All services work fine, but all enabled updates in Software Update service are automatically disabled after a short time (typically after a few hours, less than a day). While enabled, the updates are available to clients. I can't figure out what process or program or event is actually disabling all the enabled updates. The Software Update logs don't show any disabling (Service log, Error log, Access log).

Interestingly, while updates are shown as enabled in the GUI they are indeed available to clients, although in /Library/Server/Software Update/Status/com.apple.server.swupdate.plist the enabled updates still have the string value "enable: NO" (or in XML notation: <key>enable</key><false/>).

It seems that enabling updates through the GUI doesn't effect com.apple.server.swupdate.plist, but the status is somewhere cached (maybe in the cache files under Data/html/content/catalogs/others), because even after a reboot of the entire system the GUI still shows the expected status for enabled updates and these updates are still available to clients. At least until a short time later when all updates are disabled again.

Just a quick update. So far i still have no resolution from apple.

Here is my other post on the JamfNation forums that has a few things some others have tried but havent had much luck with

https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/discussion.html?id=17437

10.11.4 and OS X Server 5.1 have resolved this issue for me.

For me the problems only begon after updating to Server 5.1 and 10.11.4.
